Identity Crisis for the Relic?

by The Rock Relic

Who’d've ever thunk it?!?

I mean, I’ve been a Tarheel/Hornet/Pinevillite for most of my years, and … I thought … kinda had the niche on my name. But, over the past few months, I’ve come under fire from people who’ve been lookin’ for Chuck Hinson — and some haven’t been too friendly!
Y’see, I now share the same name as a well-known detective with the CPD! And, while he’s doin’ a great job (and … ahem! … hopefully keepin’ the name clean!), there are a few guys out there who aren’t too — er, shall we say “fond”? — of him. And, when I introduce myself, using my honest-to-family name, they get a bit rattled with me.

Then I find that there’s (gulp!) another one of me nestled around Winston-Salem who does a bit of preachin’! But it doesn’t stop there: Add a (1) software salesman, (2) long-distance runner, (3)an insurance man and others, and you can see why I might be just a little confused at times.
So it’s no wonder I feel a bit relieved when traveling out-of-town to the wrestling gigs. At least I can be myself — Chuck Hinson from Pineville, NC.
Or …
so I thought! But during the last trip to the Appalachian Tall Timbers for pre-card setup, I stopped at a gas station near Greenup, Kentucky. There, I was talkin’ about this same subject when a fella who looked a little like that “Romney” character asked (and this is the truth!), “You’re from Pineville?!?” FINALLY!! The right recognition! Beaming, I boasted, “Yes, sir, I AM!!” “You mean — you mean you’re the Chuck Hinson from …
Pineville, Louisiana? I knew your daddy …”

I’m tellin’ ya, sometimes ya just … can’t … WIN!
