I though there was something going on between him and the boys... he was always "happy" to see them or be him them. It was weird

Eh he just seemed really overanxious to me. Since his marriage was s*** he felt comfortable around the other kids. Hes a 40 year old boy. All this interaction made him feel young

If time is not true, what purpose have watchmakers?

Yeah... I was thinking: in ANY moment Mike will find out that Terry is a pedophile

I think it was clear that he was NOT a pedophile. He was just caught up in the excitement. There is the scene he comes into the locker room and says to the boys, "ready to hit the showers" then says to himself "that sounded weird." I think the point was he was worried about looking like a pedophile because he wasn't one.

Like I said in another thread, you guys have an overly suspicious and malicious mind, everything is pedophiliac with you guys. You should watch Witch Hunt to open your eyes, scary.

no I think you missed his character, he just wanted to revert back to his carefree days of high school, chucking the wife, (ex) house, job etc.
His high school probally wasn't all that great either, but looking back on it, vs now.....such is life

He was just being overly excited and a superfan over wrestling. He used to wrestle but apparently was lousy at it and he's reliving that fantasy with the kids, Kyle especially. His marriage was rocky and stressed so he's looking for some type of escape.
