While this coronavirus pandemic is going on, most people are stuck at home in self-quarantine or trying their best to flatten the curve. COVID-19 has changed the world as we know it and this “new normal” has left many of us bored out of our minds.
One thing people are realizing is that your sanity depends greatly on who you are quarantined with. You have to make the right decisions, or your family and friends will drive each other crazy.
That’s what we’re going to be doing here in a new series to help pass the time, called eWrestlingNews Quarantine House!
In this, you’ll be presented with a theme of sorts that applies to the world of professional wrestling. Within that topic’s parameters, you’re asked to pick the four people you’d rather be quarantined with.
Why four? Well, 4 corners in the squared circle, and if everyone’s practicing their social distancing, you’ve got your established areas with you in the center!
These are meant to be fun, silly little things to chat about and nothing more. There won’t be some deep dive into each option and why they present a better choice to be stuck in the house with for however many weeks this will continue. It’s just an opportunity for you to toss out your ideas and to see what everyone else picks.
Without further ado, how about we start with the most generic, all-purpose option of them all: everyone. You have no limits. You have no guidelines. Anyone from the world of pro wrestling is available to pick from. They can be from any company, any era, any role in the business—anything at all!
Who would be fun to hang out with? Would you pick their brains or just chill? For that matter, who do you think would be the four worst options to be stuck with?
My Picks (off the top of my head):
- Xavier Woods – I’m not a gamer, but I feel like he’d bring a lot of that fun to the table. He’s a simple eater, so he won’t bogart the fancier food. Big fan of some awesome shows, like Batman TAS. Underrated wrestling mind at the moment, I think.
- John Cena – I don’t know about you, but my depression’s been a lot worse with all this going on. It would be good to have someone who is almost universally optimistic and driving home that “never give up” attitude to keep that in check. He’s also a natural leader.
- Mick Foley – Absolutely wonderful person. Great mind to pick and chat it up with.
- Owen Hart – I was trying to think of someone who would be a good cook or whatever, but it dawned on me that Owen would make it fun. Based on his reputation for ribbing people, the pranks he’d think of would probably be amazing.
As far as terrible options go, my first thoughts were Ultimate Warrior, Boogeyman, Big Dick Johnson and New Jack. Could you imagine what fresh hell that would be?
I’m sure if I really sat down and thought about it, I’d come up with hundreds of different people, for various different reasons.
But what about you? Who comes to your mind? What reasons do you have for picking them?
This whole series is going to be entirely about giving you guys something to chat about and debate in the comments, so the more discussion we have going, the better. I’ll probably post one of these every couple days, but if the response is great and you want more, I’ll try to get one of them up bi-daily or even daily, if possible.
Toss out your thoughts below and if you have any suggestions for themes to add to my list of 20 or so at the moment, send them my way, too!
