Comic Book of Louis and Char’s Wrestling Match is Now Available
On June 25, 2010, we filmed “A Day in the Life of a Professional Wrestler,” the second episode of our hit internet TV show, A Day in the Life. This episode has received great reviews and we’ve loved reading all the feedback from our fans! A Day in the Life showcases Char and myself... »
Practicing for Our Next Arm Wrestling Competition
One fine June evening after returning home from a date night out, Char and I filmed several short videos for The Traveling Twosome website. Some of these videos included a banana peeling competition using just our feet, a ridiculous attempt at dancing, a paper football match, etc. At the end of the evening, she... »
A Day in the Life of a Professional Wrestler
For the second episode of A Day in the Life, Char and I were trained to be professional wrestlers by Traditional Championship Wrestling star, “All That” Alan Steel. We traveled to Little Rock, Arkansas and were part of their SummerClash event at the Clear Channel Metroplex. We spent the day with Alan Steel learning... »
A Day in the Life of Our Friends Thinking We’re Nuts (or, how Char and Louis found themselves in a mixed gender wrestling match)
It was, to say the least, a day we will never forget. As we entered Little Rock’s Clear Channel Metroplex, I wondered how in the world we got ourselves into this. We walked through the lobby and into the arena where several men were setting up a wrestling ring. In a matter of minutes,... »
The Arm Wrestling Rematch
Three months after Char and I fought to a draw in our now famous Battle of the Sexes Arm Wrestling Competition, we stepped up to the table to face off again. The first match became more popular than we ever imagined with our readers. The original blog post and video on our website has... »
If The Traveling Twosome was a Comic Book…
Since the creation of The Traveling Twosome, our site has evolved substantially… from the early days of simple text and pictures all the way through to our multimedia explosion. Along the way, we’ve produced original musical recordings and fake commercials… we’ve put on an arm wrestling competition and driven a car without a key… we’ve... »
Has Been Bowlers
You wouldn’t know it by our recent outing, but Char and I used to be good bowlers. Char once bowled on leagues and often came in first place. Bowling was my Physical Education credit in college and I played well enough that year to consistently score 175-225. But with only one exception in 2008,... »
Table Tennis, Anyone?
With the pool table moved aside in our game / music room, Char and I rolled out the ping pong table for some table tennis acion this past week. Neither one of us claims to be Forrest Gump when it comes to the sport… and that shows in the video below. We did have... »
The First Paper Football Rematch
Just prior to our Arm Wrestling competition, Char and I got our competitive juices flowing by warming up with some other challenges. One of them was a rematch of our recent Paper Football championship. Char has been determined to beat me at the game ever since she found out that I have never lost... »

A Little Pre-Match Intimidation

There’s been a lot of pep talk from our readers encouraging us in this event… mostly rooting for Char while the poll results on who you think... »
A Preview of Our Arm Wrestling Challenge
While playing Wii Sports Resort one night, Char made the allegation that she had beat me in arm wrestling – something I denied. When our readers saw the blog post on that night, they commented that we need to settle the debate by holding an arm wrestling competition for The Traveling Twosome website. The... »
The King of Paper Football Comes Out of Retirement
I have never lost a game of Paper Football. Ever. I began playing the game as a first grader and suited up for the paper gridiron literally thousands of times for more than a decade. It was a favorite pastime during school lunch, rainy day recess, and yes – in class time as well. ... »
On Taunting
If you’ve read The Traveling Twosome blog any length of time, you’ve certainly come across plenty of posts, comments, and videos of Char and I taunting each other. This is especially prevalent in our Competition posts and our comments to them. But our taunting is obviously not just your typical “trash talking” – there... »

The Main Event
***For this post, text in black is narrated by Louis while text in purple represents comments by Char.*** Prologue: Perhaps I should have embedded a music track on this Traveling Twosome post… maybe the theme from Rocky. *insert Char humming the tune in a loud and obnoxious way doing the Char Victory jiggy dance* ... »
