Retro Rewind: Chris Sharp

Aside from the antics of this past weekend, the pick of the litter was going through my old CDs to find this one full of wrestling videos from an old Willison floormate.

Chris Van Vliet (stagename: Chris Sharp) was actually a pretty decent guy, not the meathead you'd expect to be an aspiring profesisonal wrestler. Wrote for The Cord a couple times, went on to be a anchorman for a news station up in Peterborough and now has his own radio show out in BC.

But yeah, one of the highlights of my first year was this wrestling match they had in our lounge. We cleared out the couches, brought in a bunch mattresses from our rooms and made a makeshift ring. He had another one of his wrestling buddies up to have the match, complete with entrance themes, plotlines and the whole bit.

Anyway, here's a little comp of Chris Sharp and the aforementioned battle of the Willison A2 North lounge (sorry about the Rob Zombie).

When I was at Trent last year I was listening to The Wolf on my way to school one morning and heard the familiar voice of Chris. Great to hear he has his own show in BC! Anyway, these videos are great -- one of the great memories of first year!
