Wednesday 16th July 2008: Spandex…
…and a sweaty Detroit loft. What more could one hope for?
I watch Tim and Hayes wrestle like maniacs in the morning, then limber up for my spell in the ring after lunch:
“In the red shorts, Tim ‘Big Kahuna’ Brennen; in the blue leotard, Hayes ‘Doughboy’ Hargrove and in the black leotard and frilly silver neck thing…and, er…make-up…Matthew ‘Long-Haired Rock’n'Roll Loser’ Jure!”
And the crowd go wild. (Yeah, right.)
We throw ourselves around the wrestling ring (thank you, Mr Ostrander), while pyrotechnics fire off and the dolly crew whizz past us…
…have I mentioned that I like this job?
After we wrap, Tim enthuses about my teenage heroes The Cult and he, Hayes and I sit and jam songs from their ‘Love’ and ‘Electric’ albums before dinner.

Steve’s not quite as thrilled as Hayes…
