I don't envy this kid very much

My friend Heather recently put an amusing screen cap on her blog of a crazy looking kid from a Kidz Bop video (which you may take a look at here), and it made me think of some of these people who I'd be really embarrassed to be if I happened to get caught in a funny-looking position on a national level program. Remember that girl in the audience who cried through an entire episode of American Idol because she just really, really liked Sanjay? And remember that one other guy who cried on the season finale of American Idol one year? I don't even watch the show and I know about that.

But for some reason, before I even thought of that show, looking at Kidz Bop Kid made me think of this one kid who was just really overwhelmed at Wrestlemania 7, who you shall see after the jump.



I wasn't watching WWF when Wrestlemania 7 happened, and I don't think my parents would have let me get the pay-per-view anyway, but I sure remember seeing that kid in the years to follow. It's bad enough he was shown during the event, but they have got to show this kid's face in every Macho Man/Miss Elizabeth retrospective montage. I know that I was weirded out when the cutaway came up in the 'Best of Wrestlemania' video I had back in the day.

What do you suppose that child thinks now if he looks at this? I'm guessing one of two things:
1. "I sure look like a child version of Rick Moranis."
2. "Why the hell did I wear my Gorton's Fisherman hat to Wrestlemania?!"

Either way, I really do wonder what that kid is up to nowadays.
