Lock & Stock were a famous pro wrestling tag team. They had a long, successful career, won many titles, had a wonderful retirement match and were inducted into the Hall of Fame of every company they wrestled in.
One day, chilling on the porch and reflecting on the many blessings of their career, Lock asked Stock “You know, I’ve always wondered; is there pro wrestling in heaven?” “I’ve always wondered that myself,” Stock replied. So the two agreed, “Whichever of us gets there first needs to find out, then come back and tell the surviving one.” As it turned out, Stock got to heaven first (which he did within a year of asking that question). About a week later, on the night after the funeral, Lock lay in his bed, unable to sleep. All of a sudden, he saw a familiar glowing face through his bedroom window. It was Stock, now in incorporeal glory, here to keep his promise to Lock. “So, Stock, what did you find out?” Lock eagerly asked. “Well, Lock, I’ve got good news and bad news.” Stock began. “Tell me the good news first,” Lock asked his partner. “Well, the good news is that yes, there is pro wrestling in heaven.” With a big smile on his face, Stock described what it was like up there. “We’ve got some of the greatest wrestlers of all time from the American pro wrestling, Canadian grappling, Mexican lucha libre, Japanese puroresu, and every other worldwide squared circle style. There are no botches, no injuries, nobody even gets exhausted, and every match is a five-star classic. Best of all, the fans are raucous but respectful, and there are no Internet smart marks trying to get more out of it than there is.” “That’s wonderful, Stock!” Lock beamed before asking, “So, what’s the bad news?” “You’re booked with me for the Celestial Tag Team Championship match tomorrow.”
