I was on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, standing in line outside a restaurant, when a guy tapped me on the shoulder and asked the wait time. I turned, didn’t miss a beat, and said, “Fifteen minutes” to Andy Griffith.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Stuck in traffic on the 405 hello LA how I’ve missed you. Of course I should’ve known to have left San Diego earlier to get to my hotel in LA.

If you don’t get why Notre Dame values its independence, take a minute and learn the history. The audacity of fans judging ND for turning down a bowl invite is wild—they’ll never understand. All I can say is college football is broken. The system is corrupt it’s 100% controlled by ESPN and the SEC.

Competitive balance is dead in MLB when your World Series champions have a payroll that matches the GDP of a small nation.

The world isn’t getting any better, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. The deep divisions in this country didn’t appear overnight, they’ve been decades in the making. I despise senseless violence, but I also believe every act of violence should be called out.

I’m about three years out from my Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and I’ve definitely started noticing some changes in my mood & behavior. To anyone else living with a TBI, especially those who’ve experienced multiple concussions, be gentle with yourself and try to stay aware of behavioral changes.

Seeing all the post-WrestleMania fallout talk—here’s my take for what it’s worth: I equally can’t stand McAfee, The Rock, and HHH. The roast drama? What did people expect? It’s Hinchcliffe. I’ll go back to not watching and just catching highlights on YouTube when necessary.

Just had an incredible conversation at the bar during my work roadtrip. It really is a small world—after chatting with a woman from Detroit for about 30 minutes, we realized we had several mutual connections. All of this while drinking multiple bourbons…a good time was had.

Randy Orton’s out there having the time of his life—and that’s exactly how a guy with over 20 years in the game should be doing it.

I’m usually not big on multi-person matches, but damn, Night 2 of WrestleMania is absolutely nailing it.

Drew McIntyre is proof that you can walk away from the big stage, carve your own path on the indies, and fight your way back to the top of the game.

That triple threat women’s opener was absolutely incredible. Great tone setter for Night 2 of WrestleMania.

Raising a bourbon and Coke to all the poor souls trying to survive Vegas this WrestleMania weekend. I’ve barely made it out alive myself—and that was without a massive event going down.

Spent this weekend hanging out with my 2 teenage daughters. Thankful that they still consider dad “cool” enough to spend time with him.

After a year and a half at my job, I’ve finally broken through to the CEO—he now sees that my strategy for expanding the business is the right one. I can’t help but feel like we missed some great opportunities along the way, but the road ahead looks a lot brighter.

Stepped away from social media for some time, but thought I’d give this place a shot. Hope to connect with some familiar faces.
