To Develop: Blog 365 Day 18 – Be a Glimmer
By Jiddoe S'Phatt
Warmest greetings! My name is Jiddoe S’Phatt. Welcome to day
18 of “To Develop: Blog 365”.
Inspiration to write comes from a number of places. For this
blog I’ve been inspired by hip-hop artist Rick Chyme and producer
David K. Manley of Man@Work Productions. Through a collaborative project
titled #DailyPieces365
these two artists will release a new song every day for the next 365
consecutive days! Their impressive dedication has motivated me to write a new
blog every day of 2018.
A little piece of me goes into each entry I write. I hope
you enjoy this one!

There’s a really good behind-the-curtain docuseries on WWE
Network called WWE 24. I just watched
the episode about Bill Goldberg’s return to the company, him being awarded the
Universal Championship, then dropping it to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.
What I enjoyed most is what happened after the Monday Night
RAW following Mania. Once the show went off the air Goldberg came out to address
the crowd. He’d loss the championship to Lesner, an outcome that brought an
ovation. Having been universally cheered since his return after 13 years away
from professional wrestling, the fans appeared to have turned on Goldberg once
he won the title.
He said he accepted an opportunity to be a glimmer of the
athlete and star he’d been in years past, a run in professional wrestling that
made him an icon of the business. What was most important, Goldberg said, was
impressing his wife and son who weren’t a part of his life in his heyday.
Then Goldberg addressed his son directly, noting how cool it
felt to visit his son’s school, bringing the Universal title belt into his
son’s classroom.
He spoke of how nothing could ever compare to the feeling he
gets seeing his son look at him like a real life superhero, bringing him to
events people dream about, making these loving father-son memories they’ll
always remember.
That brought on tears from his wife, members of the
audience, and me watching at home.
