This is hard for me to type. But it's with a very heavy heart that we reluctantly say goodbye to my brother from another mother, Nestor Bustos aka Diego Lee aka SoCal Crazy.

He was more than a talented luchador and a legend. He was a friend to all. Whenever I see him after a show, he always had a big smile on his face, gave me a big hug, and treated me like I was family. After a show, we would talk about how life is on our ends, and he always knew what to say, when I was going through a bunch of rough patches. He really believed in me, and believed in every single person in his life, whether it's the fans, fellow wrestlers, his wife and his entire family.

Nestor, when I first met you on my very first experience at SoCal Pro Wrestling's Super Clash War Games, you were all smiles. Who knew later down the road, we'd be homies. Thank you for always giving me positive reinforcements, and showing nothing but love. You were one of the many to inspire me to speak my mind, unapologetically. It hurts to know you are gone, and that I will never see you, when I fully work for the pro wrestling industry as an official or personality. But I know you will be there in spirit.

I love you, brother. And damn it, I will never stop missing you. Rest in Paradise. Long live SoCal Crazy. by @dancingvocalhero84

Having a picture with Angie Diaz and Melanie Vallejo was a long time coming, and I'm happy it is now a reality. Both ladies were super sweet. Angie portrayed the tough as nails Vida Rocca, the Pink Mystic Ranger while Mel portrayed the gentle hearted Madison Rocca, the Blue Mystic Ranger. And I was yesterday years old when I found out both were Filipino.

Great meeting you both. You two left a smile on my face, with your positive energy. Much love to you ladies

Meeting John Tui again was the best. He shared a lot of spiritual wisdom and advice on how to protect your peace. His positive vibes were definitely needed, considering what I've been through all year. As you might know, he was Annubis Kruger from Power Rangers SPD, and Daggeron from Power Rangers Mystic Force. He also played Afa Anoa'i, one half of the legendary tag team, The Wild Samoans from Young Rock.

Very grateful for that man's kindness. I hope we see each other again, brother. All love.

What a surprise and a delight to finally meet Sally Martin. She originally portrayed Tori Hanson the Blue Wind Ranger from Power Rangers Ninja Storm. The very first female blue ranger in Power Rangers history. From my understanding, this is her first time at PMC. Great to finally meet you, Sally.

I have finally met one of my favorite blue rangers, Michael Chaturantabut. He portrayed Chad Lee from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue. Back in middle school, I low key watched the show, and saw his focus episode where he befriends a memaid, and he instantly became one of my favorite characters in the show. I even got to wear his jacket. Great to meet you, Mike.

I have not seen Reiko Chiba since the last time I attended PMC. I'm so glad to finally catch up to her after all these years. As you know, she portrayed Ptera Ranger: Mei from Kyoryu Sentai ZyuRanger. Here's a pic of us with our Dino Bucklers. Hers is the Super Sentai Artisan version, while I have the smaller Memorial Edition. Thanks for remembering me after all this time, and keeping that hat I gave you when we first met. Until we meet again, my friend.

Years after I met Teruaki Ogawa aka Ninja Red: Sasuke from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, I finally met with the American ninja of the team. This man is the legendary Kane Kosugi, who portrayed Ninja Black: Jiraiya. His dedication to making good fight choreography is admirable and inspiring at the same time. Even to this day, he's still at it.

It was an honor to finally meet you @kane_kosugi. Wishing you nothing but the best in your career. And thank you for the inspiration.

I didn't think it would be possible, but I met with Sarah Joy Brown at long last. Anything is possible at Power Morphicon. She portrayed Kaitlyn Star from VR Troopers, one of my favorite childhood shows. She was really cool in person, and I hope to see her again at the next one.

Meeting TJ Davis was such a delight. She did music for games like Metropolis Street Racer and more notably, Sonic R. Her music always filled me with joy and happiness. And it was really cool to finally see her perform on stage. She is easily one of the sweetest and kindest ladies I've ever met.

I'm very thrilled to know she's still making music to this day. I can only hope to see her again if she returns to next year's Sonic Boost. @tjdavisvocals thank you very much for the positive energy, and the smile you left on my face. Much love to you, and wishing you the greatest in your ongoing music career

I'll never forget how it felt firing up the first Sonic Adventure game on my Dreamcast. That opening sequence really hyped me up, and then I hear "Open Your Heart" by Crush 40 suddenly play, and it filled me up with so much hype, with Johnny Gioeli's amazing vocals and Jun Senoue on guitar. I knew I was in for a treat. Their music in the first two Adventure games, were part of the soundtrack of my teenage years.

And over 25 years later, I finally met the man behind those energetic vocals. I met Johnny Gioeli of Crush 40, and he was what I imagined him to be. He was very energetic on and off stage, and most importantly, he was very kind, charitable, giving, and full of love and positive energy.

Thank you Johnny for all the memories through your music. And it's like you said, music is therapy, and yours helped me through darker times in high school, all the way to adulthood. I couldn't be any more grateful to you. I hope we can meet again next year. Until that times comes, wiahing you the best in all you do.

Who would've thought 25 years after I first played and beaten Sonic Adventure 2, I would meet with the voices behind some of my favorite characters? I finally got to chance to meet with David Humphrey, the voice of Shadow the Hedhehog. And on top of that, I even met with Scott Dreier, the voice of Knuckles the Echidna. And on top of that, I got to reunite with Ryan Drummond, Sonic himself. All three of them showed me nothing but kindness. They each signed a comic book variant from the DC x Sonic crossover

My teenage years weren't always the best. But those first two Sonic Adventure games were my escape from the harsh realities of school life. They still are among some of my favorite games of all time. I'm very grateful to the good guys at Sonic Boost Convention for this fun experience. But the fun is not over yet, as of the time of this post.

More fun to be had! Stay tuned for more posts!

Last week was very special. After 3 months in the beginner's course at Primal Pro Wrestling, it all came down to the final test. Tyler, Sid, Jerry and myself gave it our all. It was intense, tiring and in my cases, it was an emotional moment.

I did it for 3 people. My two late best friends, RJ Fernando (@pogiboytrainer) and Eric Alquero who reignited my love for pro wrestling. I knew in spirit, they were cheering me on. And last but not least, I did it for a kid who didn't believe in himself enough. A teenage Craig Juan who believed he will be trapped in a life of never achieving, let alone chase his dreams to the ends of the earth.

I wore my Pogiboy Club shirt to represent RJ, and wore my green Zumba sweatpants to represent the people near and dear to me in the San Diego dance fitness community. After giving it our all, 3 out of 4 of us graduated, and I was one of those graduates. While I am most certainly happy, my journey is far from over.

As of this week, I started training in the intermediate class as a referee. I am very excited for what the future holds. A big thanks to all my coaches, classmates and peers at @primalprowrestling for giving me all the tools, knowledge and the support we all need. I am very honored and cannot thank you all enough.

Candid shots were taken by my brother Christian Juan (@chrisajuan). Thanks a ton for coming to support me, bro. I appreciate you. by @dancingvocalhero84
