Alexa Bliss - WWE Superstar - RAW Women's Champion

1) Alexis Kaufman is a professional wrestler in the WWE performing under the ring name Alexa Bliss. A two-time Raw Women's Champion (current) and a two-time Smack Down Women's Champion, Alexa Bliss has been atop the women's division since making her debut on the Smack Down roster in July 2016.

2) Alexa was involved in multiple sports growing up. She participated in gymnastics, softball, track, kickboxing, and also was a Division 1 cheerleader at the University of Akron in the Mid American Conference.

3) Residing in Orlando, Florida, Alexa is an avid fan of Disney World and has been making visits to see Mickey Mouse since early childhood.

D: We heard that you love Disney World and you have been going since you were a kid. We love it too. What's your favorite ride at Disney World?

AB: I love it at Disney World! I usually go once a week. My favorite ride is Space Mountain.

D's Follow Up: Space Mountain is fun because it's like being in space and the ride is dark. It's my second favorite ride at Disney World. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is my favorite ride at Disney World. I always wanted to go on it when I was too short and now I can do it and it's awesome. I really like roller coasters. 


J: Who is your favorite Disney character?

AB: That's a tough one but Sulley (from Monsters Inc.) is my favorite.

J's Follow Up: I'm a fan of Monsters Inc. and Sulley. Some of my favorite Disney characters are Stitch, Goofy, Rafiki, Kevin (Up), and Grumpy. I wish I could go to Disney World as much as Alexa and I would go on Rockin' Roller Coaster all the time. 

Commonly referred to as "Five Feet of Fury" and "The Goddess of WWE", Alexa Bliss has reigned over the women's division since the summer of 2016 and she also reigns at the top of the list of my favorite WWE superstars. Measuring in at only 5'1", Alexa checks in as the smallest competitor in the WWE in stature but wrestles big in the ring and has the skill and never-say-die attitude that a champion needs to survive the challenging WWE women's division. Couple her in-ring ability with her supreme confidence and Alexa Bliss will continue to be an unstoppable force in the WWE for the foreseeable future. Showing no fear of any opponent standing in her way each week on RAW, Alexa continues to leave the ring with the Women's Championship held high in her hands night in and night out. 

We met Alexa at the Wizard World Comic Con on August 24, 2017 in Rosemont. This event continues to bring the top WWE stars in each year and this is our second time taking part in the fun. Alexa is currently the top performer in the women's division on Raw and she's also a fan favorite here in our home. We knew to expect a ton of fans to be in attendance with Alexa's rapidly rising popularity, but we were blown away at how long her line was. It wrapped around the convention center! The WWE superstars certainly took center stage at Wizard World Comic Con Chicago and our meeting with Alexa did not disappoint.

After finishing a long wait to meet Roman Reigns just minutes before, we entered an even longer line to meet "The Goddess". Fortunately, a Comic Con worker spotted us and moved us up to the front of the line as they worked to get any adults with children through the line so wait time was shortened dramatically. We made our way in to take a picture and the boys had the opportunity ask their questions to Alexa. It was a Disney-themed set of questions for Alexa because we found out she was a big fan of Disney World just like us. We love Space Mountain like she does and we are certainly fans of Sulley and the other Monsters Inc. crew members too. We thought it was awesome that she visits weekly. Our last visit was in February and we wondered if she was in the park at the same time as us. We thought that would have been awesome if she was! While writing this post, the boys and I started thinking about all the fun we've had on our Disney trips and we don't think it would take too much convincing to get Mom on board with making another visit sooner than later.

It was an unforgettable experience meeting one of our favorite superstars that we watch on TV every Monday night. We want to thank Alexa Bliss for answering our questions and we hope she continues to hold that title up high as she embarks on her upcoming battles with her former friend Nia Jax. The Vincents will be in her corner cheering her on. Hopefully, we'll see her again soon. Maybe next time it will be at Disney World!

Roman Reigns - WWE Superstar

1) Leati Anoa'i is a professional wrestler in the WWE performing under the ring name Roman Reigns. A 3-time World Heavyweight Champion, 1-time United States Champion, and Tag Team Champion (with Seth Rollins), Roman Reigns has been one of WWE's top performers since making his debut on the main roster in 2012.

2) A three year starter and first team All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) player for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets as a senior, Roman was a star football player in college who had brief stints in 2007 with the Minnesota Vikings and Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL and played one season for the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He was a college teammate of Calvin Johnson, widely regarded as one of the greatest wide receivers in NFL history playing his entire career with the Detroit Lions.

3) Reigns comes from a family with an extensive pro wrestling background. A member of the Anoa'i family, he is cousin to former wrestlers Umaga, Rikishi, Yokozuna, The Tonga Kid and is first cousin once-removed with The Rock and The Usos.  

D: We saw that you live in Tampa, Florida and that you have a daughter. What's your favorite activity to do with your daughter in Florida when you are not wrestling?

RR: I do whatever she wants to do...she usually picks swimming.

D's Follow Up: I usually ask you to take me to get ice cream and do other fun stuff. Rockin' Jump (trampoline park), Great America, and swimming. Swimming is one of my favorite things to do too. I think Roman Reigns would be an awesome dad to have too. I remember seeing his poster in the mall and Barnes and Noble having tea with his daughter. 


J: How was it playing football with Calvin Johnson in college at Georgia Tech and what is your favorite NFL team?

RR: It was awesome! He's the best athlete I've ever played with...and my favorite NFL team is the 49ers.

J's Follow Up: My best friend Jackson likes the 49ers too. I don't think the 49ers are going to do very well this year but they're going to be better. I think they were the second worst team last year behind the Bears? Their new quarterback Brian Hoyer is going to have an OK season. I have another reason to root for the 49ers now that I know Roman Reigns likes them like Jackson does. I can't wait to tell him at school tomorrow.

 

As many know by now, our family consists of huge WWE fans and you will see us in attendance at live events or regularly glued to the TV on Monday and Tuesday nights for WWE's top wrestling shows, Raw and Smackdown. Danny and Jordan have many favorite superstars and their list is always changing but the superstar who always remains at the top of my list is Roman Reigns.

Known as "The Big Dog", Roman is consistently in WWE main events and and always in the WWE title picture. He has no problem going toe to toe with competitors of all shapes and sizes on any given night. I have always viewed Reigns as one of the toughest superstars in wrestling as he continues put his body on the line and take on the world's best opponents every week while always appearing to come back even stronger for the next match.

When we found out that Roman Reigns would be attending Wizard World Comic Con at the Rosemont Convention Center this year, we knew we had to jump on the opportunity. We have met so many amazing athletes including Michael Jordan, Matt Ryan, John Cena, and Jordan Howard to name a few and Roman Reigns ranks at the top of the list of athletes we have wanted to meet next. We also agree that he would be a huge addition to our blog vincentsgo3on3.com! 

We finally got our opportunity to step into "Roman's yard" at Wizard World Comic Con yesterday and he was as awesome as advertised! There were hundreds lined up to take a picture with Roman and get close to one of WWE's top stars. Fortunately, the line moved quickly and we were soon near the front within 20 minutes to get a moment with one of our heroes. We were able to shake hands with Roman and thankfully Jordan and Danny were able to ask their questions before the next set of fans came in. They had to be ready to ask their questions with no hesitation because he was due to sign autographs in 30 minutes with hundreds of anxious fans waiting behind us. Roman was very accommodating and happy to answer their unique questions which certainly made for a fun conversation during the ride back home.

When meeting athletes, the boys have been focusing on asking questions that are different from the typical ones they receive about their day job. Jordan and Danny love football and they know all about his time with the Vikings and Jaguars and they were blown away that he played college football with Megatron, Calvin Johnson! It came as no surprise to us that Roman said Calvin was the greatest athlete he ever played with. Likely a first ballot Hall of Fame player, Calvin Johnson was never stopped in his nine year career on the gridiron and teams could only hope to slow him down. I have too many memories to count of Calvin Johnson making life nearly impossible for the cornerbacks that played for my Chicago Bears.

Danny and Jordan both remember the ads they saw with Roman and his daughter having tea while strolling through the mall a few years ago. We also have watched Roman's commercial with his daughter that was part of a national public service campaign intended to inspire fathers across the country to get more involved in their children's lives. Personally, I love being a dad and it's the best thing to ever happen to me. Being involved in Jordan and Danny's lives and being a positive role model for them is a role I take seriously and am beyond honored to have. It's clear that Roman is an amazing father and Danny thought it would be fun to see what he and his daughter love to do most together. Danny and I agree that swimming is a ton of fun and we imagine that they get to spend a little more time in the pool than us with their warm Tampa weather!

It was an amazing experience for the three of us boys to see the man who dominates the WWE competition on the airwaves every Monday night. Thank you to Roman Reigns for taking the time to talk with the boys and provide an unforgettable experience! You have a house full of fans here in Illinois who will be there to support you throughout your entire WWE career. Believe That!

Danielle Bradbery - The Voice - Season 4 Winner

1) Danielle Bradbery was the youngest artist to win The Voice when she took first place in 2013 at the age of 16.

2) Danielle's second album, I Don't Believe We've Met, is set to be released in December 2017 and consists of seven songs written by Danielle that detail her life experiences over the past four years. Her lead single is Sway and is set to hit the radio airways on August 28th.

3) Bradbery and her father shared an interest in country music growing up while Danielle's mother was a big influence in other genres as they listened to Latin music, pop, R&B, and more. Danielle likes to bring a little bit of each genre into her country sounds.

D: What's your favorite healthy food to take on the road?

DB: I love fruit. So any fruit I will take on the road.

D's Follow Up: I think she could take cherries, strawberries, and blueberries with her when she sings. And honeydew and cantaloupe. It's hard for us to eat healthy when we're on vacation because we don't have our own fridge. So it's probably hard for her too.


J: What is your favorite football team and who is your favorite football player?

DB: So I'll explain a little bit. I'm from Houston, Texas. So I want to love the Texans but they aren't great. It's my hometown so I have respect. I love J.J. Watt and all of them but I actually love the Saints. I love Drew Brees.

My favorite football player...it's so hard. I like Luke Kuechly because he's a baller. I actually do know one of the players on the Bears. Bryce Callahan. Do you know who that is? We went to school with him, he's from my hometown. So I will say he's one of my other favorite players.

J's Follow Up: I also love Drew Brees. I'm not as much of a Saints fan but I definitely like Drew Brees. He's a great quarterback and he's been doing it for so long. He's one of the best ever. 

I think Luke Kuechly is awesome too and I agree he's a baller. He's always a Pro Bowler and won defensive player of the year. It's cool Bryce Callahan went to school with her too. We know him and I think he's going to do great for the Bears this year.

Jordan and I had a unique opportunity to head downtown and visit one of our favorite radio stations, BIG 95.5. We were sad that Danny couldn't come with us but he sent along his question for Danielle. Danielle Bradbery is the first non-athlete we've put on our blog but we thought that she was a perfect fit because she's a huge football fan. We might as well add other entertainers to our blog!

Located on Michigan Avenue in the Illinois building, we were excited to head into the Sprite Lounge at the BIG 95.5 studios. When artists for any of the iHeartradio stations come to town, they typically host a private concert for listeners in the Sprite lounge. Jordan and I debated if there would actually be Sprite in the Sprite lounge. I was convinced there would be and sure enough they told us to help ourselves to some Sprite from their stocked refrigerators as soon as we walked in. Jordan grabbed a cherry Sprite which neither of us had ever seen before.

Then we were greeted by our favorite radio personality Brooke Taylor and we watched a short video updating us on what Danielle Bradbery has been up to since releasing her first album and winning The Voice. We were soon introduced to Danielle and she sang four songs from her upcoming album to the lucky group of about twenty-five fans. Jordan and I agree that her voice was incredible and pure and it's just a matter of time before she hits it big with her new album. Danielle's new single Sway will soon be playing on repeat in the heads of country music fans everywhere. Her songs were upbeat, her voice was amazing and she was excited to share her story with fans. We can't wait to hear Danielle's songs on the radio soon and we'll be sure to sing along with her. Jordan and I had a great experience today thanks to BIG 95.5 and we created some last second, summer memories. We wish Danielle the greatest success and we hope her Saints have a good season this year too. Who dat?

 

Willson Contreras - Chicago Cubs

1) Willson Contreras #40 is a star catcher for the Chicago Cubs. 

2) Contreras was a rookie for the Cubs in 2016 when they won their first World Series Championship in 108 years. He was called up in June 2016 and became the 30th player in the modern MLB era to hit a home run on the first pitch of his first major-league at-bat. 

3) Willson teamed up with the Special Olympics this season as the 2017 Windy City Rubber Ducky Derby Celebrity Ambassador. You can help support Special Olympics Illinois by adopting a duck here for the big race on August 3rd. 

D: What do you like to do more...hit a home run or throw someone out when they are trying to steal a base?

WC: Throw somebody out when they are stealing. Yes, that's a good one. 

D's Follow Up: I thought Willson would say he likes to hit a home run more. If he hits a home run, his team would get more runs but I also see how he would like to stop the other team from getting runs too. 

J: What's your favorite Chicago food?

WC: Favorite Chicago food is pizza.

J's Follow Up: Pizza is one my favorites too. I thought he would say that because most people like pizza and Chicago is known for it. Lately I like MOD and Blaze pizza even though it's not Chicago style because I can put whatever I want on it.

On Wednesday, July 26th, the boys and I decided to make the trek downtown to meet superstar catcher and one of the top players in Major League Baseball, Willson Contreras. We love to watch Contreras call a game as he works with Cubs pitchers and we also love the home run power he brings to the plate for each at-bat. We believe Contreras has the potential to be an all-star catcher for many years to come. 

Willson Contreras was scheduled to make a special appearance at the Jewel on Division Street to meet with fans and sign Special Olympics duck cookies. Proceeds from the purchase of the cookies will be donated to the Special Olympics of Illinois. 

The boys and I waited for an hour and a half to meet Willson and we agree it was worth every second. With questions in hand, the boys introduced themselves to Willson and he repeated their names back to them and eagerly awaited their questions. First up was Jordan. He's really become a pro at approaching his favorite athletes. He calmly asked Willson what his favorite Chicago food is. Coming from Venezuela, we were unsure what he might choose as his favorite but we know most people love pizza. Like us, Willson loves Chicago's pizza but we wish we would've found out his favorite local spot because we'd be happy to meet him there!

Up next was our favorite seven year old and Kyle Schwarber's #1 fan, Danny Vincent. I thought his question was great and Willson agreed by telling him that after he answered. Would you rather hit a home run or throw a base runner out? One thing that seems to be a constant is players are just as excited to make a defensive stop in their sport as they are to make a big impact on offense. Contreras said he prefers to throw the base runner out if he has to choose between the two. 

In my short co-ed softball career, I understand the rush you get making a big defensive stop when your team needs you to. Most people consider catcher to be the most important position in baseball because of the tremendous responsibilities put on their shoulders. Catchers must know everything about everyone at all times. From knowing every hitter in the lineup, to understanding his pitcher's strengths and also knowing where the defense is lined up, catchers have a ton of information to process. Combine that with being the most physically demanding position, I understand that a catcher would love to help their team out in a major way by making a pinpoint throw to tag out a base runner.

With all that said, I can imagine the rush you would get by hitting a home run over the ivy in Wrigley Field on gorgeous day game in July. That feeling would never get old to me.

We had a fun time meeting a great baseball player and an even better person, Willson Contreras. Thanks to Jewel for hosting such a sweet event and to Willson for taking the time during the Crosstown Classic to meet with fans and raise money for the Special Olympians of Illinois. It was a day we'll never forget.

Deiondre' Hall - Chicago Bears

1) Deiondre' Hall is a cornerback for the Chicago Bears who was selected in the 4th round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

2) Deiondre' attended college at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The UNI Panthers compete in the NCAA College Football Subdivision level in the Missouri Valley Conference.

3) Hall recorded his first career NFL interception during his rookie season when he intercepted Lions QB Matthew Stafford in a week four victory for the Bears at Soldier Field.

D: Did you play any other sports growing up before you specialized in football? How do you stay active during the off season?


DH: I played basketball and ran track. I also work out and run during the off season.

D's Follow Up: I think Deiondre' Hall was probably a sprinter on the team. He has to guard the fastest receivers in the NFL so he would need to be fast enough to stay with them. I think he runs in the offseason to stay fast and to be able to catch Julio Jones, A.J. Green, and especially Packers players like Davante Adams and Jordy Nelson.

J: We have a dalmatian mix dog in our family. We saw you have two dogs at home. What kind are they and do you ever go to the dog park with them?


DH: Yes, I take them to the dog park often. I have a doberman and a red nose pitbull.

J's Follow Up: I think that's great he takes his dogs to the dog park and he probably has a lot of time during the week until training camp starts. I would like to see my dog Perdi play with his dogs at the dog park. I'm guessing he goes to the Lake Forest dog park.

I believe Deiondre' Hall and Jonathan Bullard were the first athletes to do a signing for Scott's Basement, a baseball card and memorabilia shop in Schaumburg. This event was very well organized by the owner Scott who was extremely nice and welcomed us into his store. The boys and I always say that we will travel for fun and this signing was easily worth the forty five minute drive from Mundelein. It sounds like the event was as much fun for the players as it was for the fans as Scott noted on his Facebook page that Deiondre' and Jonathan had so much fun they stayed an hour and a half over their signing time spending time with fans.

Deiondre' Hall is entering his second NFL season and many expect the sophomore to compete for a starting spot and make a big impact for the Bears during the 2017 season. Danny found out that Deiondre' was a track star in high school and also spends his off season running. We both agree that we think Deiondre' was a sprinter in high school because he plays defensive back in the NFL, which would require him to keep up with some of the fastest players in the sport. We think the toughest matchup Deiondre' and his fellow cornerbacks will face this season comes early in week 1 when the Bears host the Super Bowl runner up Atlanta Falcons and the player widely regarded as the best wide receiver in the NFL, Julio Jones. Competitors love to go up against the best in their sport and Hall will kick off his season against one of the best receivers the NFL has to offer.

While researching more about Deiondre' before Saturday's signing, we saw on his Twitter page that he has two dogs. We got our first family pet Perdi nearly two years ago and we are now a dog family. She's a sweet dalmatian mix who loves to run free at the dog park. Jordan was wondering if Deiondre's dogs ever visited the dog park because he would love to run into Deiondre' and find Perdi more friends to wrestle with when we go. With the Bears located in Lake Forest, we assume Deiondre' would visit that park most often. Our family goes to the Wauconda and Libertyville parks the most but we also take an occasional detour over to the Lake Forest dog park. It sounds like Deiondre' is a dog person like us and maybe we'll run into him someday with his dogs.

We wish Deiondre' a great season this year as he looks to bring the Bears back to the top of the NFC North. We'll visit him in Bourbonnais on August 3rd and we'll be watching and cheering on number 32 from the sidelines during training camp. Thanks again Deiondre' for taking the time to talk with us and being a part of our new blog, vincentsgo3on3!

Jonathan Bullard - Chicago Bears

1) Jonathan Bullard is a defensive end for the Chicago Bears who is entering his second NFL season after being drafted in the third round of the 2016 NFL draft.

2) Bullard attended college at the University of Florida and finished his senior year as a a First Team All-SEC selection and a Third-team All-American.

3) On the television show Inside the Bears, Jonathan took part in a segment called Big Guys, Compact Cars where he admitted he is a huge Lebron James fan and makes the argument that Lebron is better than Kobe Bryant.

D: Did you play any other sports growing up before you specialized in football? How do you stay active during the off season?

JB: I played basketball, baseball, and AAU basketball.

D's Follow Up: I play basketball too so it's cool to say that all 3 of us play. You don't see many guys as big as Jonathan Bullard playing baseball. I wonder what position he played for his team.

J: What quarterback in the NFL would you like to sack the most?

JB: Probably Cam Newton. He's as big as I am and he's also in Carolina which is where I'm from.

J's Follow Up: I thought he was going to say Aaron Rodgers because he's his rival or another great QB like Tom Brady. I think it will be hard to sack Cam Newton because he's a running quarterback like Lamar Jackson. I want to see him sack Cam a lot when they play this year because I love to watch the quarterback get sacked.

J: What were some of the best parts about playing for the Florida Gators?

JB: The atmosphere. Running down the swamp, the best college stadium in America. I would say the atmosphere and the Gator fan base.

J's Follow Up: I'm a fan of the Gators because they invented Gatorade there and there have been a ton of Bears players that I like that came from Florida like Alex Brown, Rex Grossman, and Jon Bostic.

Today we had a great opportunity to meet two rising stars for the Chicago Bears at one signing. We met the 3rd and 4th round draft picks from last season, Jonathan Bullard and Deiondre' Hall. This event was put together by Scott's Basement, a baseball card and sports memorabilia shop in Schaumburg. It was our first visit but it definitely won't be our last. 

Jonathan and Deiondre' were welcoming and excited to answer Jordan and Danny's questions. The boys continue to get more confident with each athlete they meet. Danny started out with one of their more popular questions asking Jonathan about the other sports he played growing up. Of course, as we've seen with most other pro athletes, he was also a multi-sport athlete competing in basketball and baseball along with football. We understand the benefits of playing multiple sports as a kid and it's always great for Jordan and Danny to hear athletes played sports they love to play. I can only imagine Jonathan dominated the paint during his basketball days and had serious home run power on the baseball field.

The boys were also curious to find out which QB Jonathan would most like to sack this upcoming season. I think Cam Newton is a great choice for many reasons. Known as one of the top players in the league and NFL MVP just two years ago, Cam is elusive, strong and smart. Recording a sack in Soldier Field against the Pro Bowl QB would be a huge feather in the cap of the young defensive end's career.

Finally, Jordan wanted to know what it's like to be a Florida Gator and part of one of the top football programs in the country. Bullard noted the awesome fan base and the greatest stadium in the country located in the swamps of Gainesville. The Bears have certainly had their fair share of Gators throughout the years and we are excited that Jonathan is now one of the Monsters of the Midway. We have a ton of respect for the Gators and would definitely love to visit the swamp for a game someday. 

We would like to extend a huge thank you to Jonathan Bullard for taking the time to talk with Jordan and Danny and Scott's Basement for an awesome event! We will certainly be cheering him on this fall and we can't wait to see what he does in his sophomore season.

Al Snow - WWE

1) Al Snow is a professional wrestler best known for his time wrestling in World Wrestling Entertainment, Extreme Championship Wrestling and Impact wrestling.

2) In 2015, he started the Al Snow Wrestling Academy based in the UK where they are currently training the future stars of professional wrestling.

3) Al has held over 30 different championships in his 35 years of wrestling and in the WWE he was a 1-time European Champion, 6-time Hardcore Champion, and 1-time Tag Team Champion with Mankind.

D: What is your favorite ride here at Great America?

AS: Goliath. Yeah. But I haven't ridden the Joker yet. I want to go ride that.

D's Follow Up: Goliath is my second favorite roller coaster at Great America. The Joker is my favorite. The Joker flips around and is crazy like me and Al Snow. I would like hime to ride the Joker with us next time.

J: What was the favorite WWE match you ever wrestled in?

AS: Probably when I wrestled myself. Yep, that was awesome because I'm awesome.

J's Follow Up: I thought it was cool but also weird when he wrestled himself. I also don't think it made much sense. I think it was probably more challenging to wrestle himself instead of wrestling an actual person like he normally would. 

During our tenth visit to Great America this season and attending with friends, we stumbled across a wrestling ring smack in the middle of Southwest Territory. The boys and I were immediately interested and we soon spotted one of our favorite wrestlers, Pauly Thomaselli, from a local wrestling promotion in Kenosha. He told us he would be performing with Pro Wrestling Blitz, a company based out of Joliet, IL, and that former WWE star Al Snow would be in the main event. Of course, we planned out our rides and made sure we were front row to watch these pro wrestling matches and see one of the stars of the WWE's Attitude Era, Al Snow. It was a first for us to watch wrestling in between The Giant Drop and Raging Bull and it made the event even more fun.

Known for his gimmick of talking to a mannequin head, referred to as "Head", I remember Al Snow most for his match where he battled Head for the Hardcore Championship and also when he wrestled himself and put his body through a table.  It was no surprise for us to hear that Al's favorite match is when he wrestled himself and we also agree that he's definitely awesome! Al ended up victorious in his main event match at GA in a hard fought Triple Threat Match and of course Head got involved and was a big help in scoring the victory for Snow. After the match concluded, Al was excited to meet with fans, shake hands, and encouraged Jordan to ask him anything. 

Along with his favorite match in WWE, Jordan asked Danny's question about his favorite ride at Great America. We weren't sure if he had been on any yet but he quickly responded with Goliath. This is one of our favorite rides in the park and ranks as my #2 ride at Six Flags, falling just short of the The Raging Bull. This is one we always arrive early for and has the biggest drop in the park. Al had not been on the Joker yet, which is new this year, and we give it two thumbs up! It ranks #3 for me only because it's such a short ride lasting about 40 seconds from start to finish. Our only wish is that we could have gone on it with him! 

It was an awesome day watching Pro Wrestling Blitz at Six Flags and having an unexpected meet and greet with one of WWE's most memorable wrestlers. We are thankful to Al Snow for taking the time to meet us and answer Jordan and Danny's questions. We wish him the best of luck with his new wrestling academy and if we stumble across him at Great America again, we will not pass on the opportunity to ask him to go on The Joker with us!
