Okay, so yesterday, I got this crazy idea to try and mimic Jason Momoa’s vibe, you know, the Aquaman guy? Not just the muscles, but the whole tough, warrior thing he’s got going on. So I figured, why not start with wrestling? Sounds about right, doesn’t it?
First off, I looked up some stuff about the dude. Turns out, before he was all famous, he modeled for brands like Louis Vuitton and Gucci. Who knew, right? And get this, he even wanted to be a marine biologist. But then he got into acting with Baywatch Hawaii. I guess that was his foot in the door, because soon after he landed a role in Stargate Atlantis. Now he’s known for being Aquaman and hanging out with other WWE stars like John Cena and The Rock. Oh, and he also did some team sports like soccer and hockey. He said rock climbing was the thing that got him out of Iowa.
Now, back to the wrestling. I don’t know the first thing about wrestling, except what I’ve seen on TV. So, I called up my buddy, Mark, who’s kind of a gym rat and knows a bit about this stuff. I asked him if he could show me some basic moves, and since he’s a good pal, he agreed.
We met up at the local park. It was kind of awkward at first because, well, we’re not exactly wrestlers. But Mark started showing me some holds and takedowns. I tried to follow along, but man, it’s harder than it looks! I kept slipping and falling, and at one point, I’m pretty sure I pulled a muscle in my leg. Mark was trying not to laugh, but I could see it in his eyes.
- Tried to copy some basic wrestling moves.
- Failed miserably and probably looked ridiculous.
- Realized wrestling is way harder than it looks.
After about an hour of this, I was beat. I was sweating, my muscles were aching, and I had grass stains all over my clothes. But you know what? It was kind of fun. I mean, I didn’t exactly feel like a warrior, more like a clumsy bear, but it was a good workout.
So, that’s my Jason Momoa wrestling experiment. Did I become a wrestling pro? Nope. Did I get a good workout and a few laughs? Definitely. Maybe I’ll stick to watching wrestling on TV for now, but who knows, maybe I’ll give it another go sometime. Just not today. Today, I’m going to go ice my leg and maybe watch some Aquaman to see how it’s really done.
Oh yeah, I also found out that he’s going to be in a movie called ‘The Wrecking Crew’ with Batista. I guess that’s something to look forward to, seeing two big guys like that in one movie.
Conclusion
If you want to try to be like Jason Momoa, just know it involves a lot of physical stuff, and wrestling isn’t as easy as they make it seem. But hey, it’s worth a shot if you want a good workout and a fun story to tell. Just be prepared to maybe embarrass yourself a little. Or a lot.
