When you're in the blogging business, sometimes you have to sell your soul in the name of generating traffic. This is one of those times.
It was brought to my attention today that Jessie Godderz of "Big Brother" fame is dabbling in pro wrestling.
Godderz, who is known as "Mr. Pec-tacular," made his pro wrestling debut two weeks ago for the Winnipeg, Manitoba-based WFX (Wrestling Fan Xperience) promotion by defeating U-Gene Dinsmore (formerly Eugene in WWE). Godderz announced on his Web site that he will face Dinsmore in a rematch in Winnipeg on April 16, and the special guest referee will be another former "Big Brother" star, Nick Starcevic.
I'll be honest: Before today, I had never heard of either of these guys and I've never watched "Big Brother." In fact, I avoid reality TV shows the way Sheamus avoids the sun.
But the truth is that this blog entry will probably get linked by reality TV blogs and Web Sites – at least, I hope it will – thus pumping up my page view numbers. And getting more pages views is a good thing.
