Mental health is a bitch sometimes. You could have a great day and then something goes wrong and you can just spiral. Men tend to deal with a stigma talking about our mental health and it sincerely needs to be discussed more.

#Wrestling has given me some great opportunities. Throwback to meeting Thunderbolt Patterson at the Cauliflower Alley Reunion! Thunderbolt paved the way for myself & other Black wrestlers in this business to be successful. It was an honor to thank him & hear his stories! #addtoblacksky #blacksky 🤼‍♂️

Throwback to that time I was asked to bodyslam a local #Chicago talk show host on Live TV. #Wrestling is weird. #Wrestlesky

Steve Michaels @chicagobearhug.bsky.social · 13/11/2024

Ok, real question. Would you all just like to see my Wrestling content, or would you also like to see things like my travel and hobbies as well? Just figuring that since BlueSky has a different vibe than the Bad Place, maybe making things a little more personal in addition to my standard content.

Steve Michaels @chicagobearhug.bsky.social · 11/11/2024

Absolutely one of my favorite sights after traveling for shows! Always great to come home to #Chicago!
