Watching your children perform in front of 100,000+ people must be an incredible thing for a parent to do. But what about seeing them overcome the odds, climb the ladder and win the Intercontinental Championship in a match in which they were considered the 8th most likely to win out of a possible seven participants? It is enough to make a grown man cry.

Whether or not you agreed with Zack Ryder's WrestleMania 32 win is irrelevant, the picture above is proof enough that it was a wonderful moment. The emotion on show is infectious, an immensely proud father thrilled to tears with his son's improbable success.

In many ways, the emotion in this picture is exactly what professional wrestling is all about.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
