I used to jump on my mom's bed and do moves on the pillows and jump and fall down on the bed when smackdown was on......now I'm 23(24 this year) And i play the games because these bones can't move like they used too.

[@johnfromtennessee2651]

@@jordymares6758 You remind me of me. We're the same age too, so i feel divinely obligated to share these pieces of information with you that you might find strange or might make sense to you. First of all, buy this book called The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook. This is the only thing - and maybe just a small lacrosse ball - you will need to buy I promise. In fact, you wouldn't need to buy any of it if I knew you personally or could talk to you, but its the most convenient way for you to learn everything I would teach you and its all in one place. Essentially, your bones are perfectly fine its just that the muscles that orchestrate the bones have very tight spots on them that hurt like hell when massaged away. Once massaged away, your muscles can be stretched to their original lengths and you'll feel incrementally younger to some capacity after each affected muscle is treated step by step. The only thing is that you might have these points all over your body so it might take time and willpower if you really want to recapture the same freedom of movement you had when you were younger. So, the book that I specifically recommended has pretty much all the trigger points you could possibly want to know about. There's more to it, especially if you got into unhealthy sexual habits which boys can easily fall into in this fallen world, which can effect the muscles around your groin, which will have a ripple effect on the rest of your body and can ruin the quality of your life slowly. For that, we can talk in private about it if you find that my advice hits home. In short, your body is fine. You don't need no supplements or cod liver or any snake oil people sell to make money off your problems. The answer is literally inside you at no cost. You just have to have the will power to go through the pain. For demonstration - and I am taking a guess here because I obviously don't know you at all - I want you to dig your knuckles, fingers or knee into the calf muscle of either of your legs. You may eventually find a tender spot. Regardless of if you find a spot or not, the name of the game is to press deep into any part of your skin across your body and if it hurts tenderly, this needs to be massaged over the course of around 2 weeks on a daily basis. I did it hourly - nay minutely - every day for as long as it took cause im a madman and I wanted my body back.

i think 2007 was a bad year for wwe besides jeff hardy's singles run and orton's first real title reign as wwe champion then some good matches like the ones between cena and michaels, taker batista or even benoit and mvp to me i think 2008 and 2009 are way better than 07 i would rank the year as my least favourite from the years between 2002 and 2011

I'm always going back to these times man in 2006, this was still my favourite SmackDown Version of Rise Up in My own opinion is this one too me this one was just a faster intro to the V1 version in Late 2004 to 2005, this was more badass, I prefer this version, but yh 2006 was great times really again when I got more into WWE in this year that I really remember more than 2002 through to 2005 I don't know why but yh, this was just when I felt more into the product now in 2006, yet some fans think it wasnt one of the best years in the 2000's but screw that, I still think its a underrated year yes there were things going on aswell Kurt Angle leaving WWE halfway through the year, which alot of fans didn't like, other issues maybe even PPV quality even aswell not being the best but still, To me still now in 2020 I really like 2006 in WWE because I followed more of it at this time so yh I turned 8 years old in 2006 was born in 1998 so yh
