September 1984, one of the greatest nights of my life...the night I had the honor of meeting not only Lance Von Erich but also a True "Gentleman" in Chris Adams. I was 17 and thought he was everything. My life was and still is wrestling. But this night Chris was wrestling Rick Rude at the Stadium at Fort Hood, Texas. I only watched 2 matches the whole night ,Chris' and the match before ( he was changing) Lance Von Erich all I can remember is his eyes... those bright beautiful eyes. But when lance won his match , I ran back to where I had spent the whole evening talking to chris, as he comes out to go to the ring he I had always wanted to be involved in the sport somehow... and thanks to chris I got to live out 2 dreams in one night. a couple of days later I wrote a poem.
I will share with everyone now. It is called

"That kiss"

Chris kissed me in the spring ,
Wendall (cooley) in the fall,
but Lance only looked at me and never kissed at all .
Chris's kiss was lost in love,
Wendall's lost in Play ,
But that kiss In Lance's eye's haunts me night and day.

Adapted from a poem by -- Sara Teasdale

That night I couldn't see anyone but Chris.....
He was a truly beautiful , wonderful man.
