So even though I want to watch other wrestling promotions, I want to see them survive and grow and bring true competition to the stale WWE, it’s not fiscally viable. Ring of Honor (ROH) hardly ever come this far west, so, again, catching a live show is next to impossible. Spending each and every weekend traveling around to support IWA Mid-South isn’t feasible. More accurately, I’m a fan of the WWE, if only because I can’t afford the weekly Pay-Per-View produced by NWA-TNA. Saying I’m a “wrestling fan” is a bit misleading. As a teacher I’m obviously educated, but, to most, admitting I’m a wrestling fan casts a long, dark shadow over any degree I hold, doesn’t it? But never mind that.
I tell you this because I want you to understand where I’m coming from. Because there’s this ill-conceived notion that everyone who watches “sports entertainment” is either a child or a fat schlub, jaws drop when people learn how much I love to watch my weekly doses of WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). Lastly, I’m an Adjunct Professor in the Fiction Writing Department of Columbia College Chicago, and a wrestling fan. I’m the editor of two literary websites ( and ), two literary journals ( Blue and Hair Trigger 25), as well as the Multimedia section of this very site. Instead, linked here is a glossary of terms.įirst, a little about me: my name is Michael David Sims and I hold both a BA and MFA in Creative Writing. So as not to interrupt the flow of piece, time will not be taken to explain each term. In other cases, Belarusian forces have destroyed a razor wire barrier on the border or encouraged migrants to do so, Zaryn said.Note: Throughout this review I will frequently use wrestling jargon. He said the other incidents have involved Belarusian forces pointing guns in the air and shooting blanks when they meet Polish soldiers and guards. Zaryn said that that there has been a “series of incidents and provocations organized by Belarusians, but this was the most dangerous and serious incident so far.” In Brussels, European Commission spokesman Peter Stano said Wednesday that territorial intrusion into Poland, if confirmed, “would be yet another provocation from the side of (the) Lukashenko regime against the European Union and its member states.” Polish and other EU leaders have accused the government of President Alexander Lukashenko, which is backed by Moscow, of encouraging the migration as a form of hybrid warfare aimed at creating instability in the region and the EU more broadly. In recent months, thousands of migrants from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa have been lured to Belarus on tourist visas and encouraged to cross into Poland, Lithuania, and to a lesser extent Latvia - the three EU nations bordering Belarus. There was no immediate comment from the Belarusian side. He highlighted that Poland is determined to defend its borders and the external borders of the European Union,” Jasina said in his statement.
Wawrzyk “pointed out that Poland deems such actions unacceptable and won’t tolerate them.
He said that the Belarusian charge d’affaires, Alexander Chesnovsky, was summoned to Poland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday.ĭuring the meeting, a deputy foreign minister, Piotr Wawrzyk, demanded an explanation and emphasized “that that the actions taken by the Belarusian authorities in recent weeks have the increasingly evident hallmarks of a deliberate escalation.” The foreign ministry spokesman, Lukasz Jasina, said that the incident took place on the night between Monday and Tuesday.
