Well, this is a surprise.....Obviously came along while I was on the TN/GA hops.

Welcome John.....You've now encountered another kind of craziness here. The 'Cat is a tremendous place. Like Bill D., I remember Bruno and george and Argentine Rocco and the old guys, but I also got hooked for awhile in the mid 80's with the WWF bunch then. I really found it some of the best humor/athleticism on the tube. I also considered the ups and downs of pro wrestling kinda' matched that of big time TV religion and figured that perhaps they had the same audience. Always thought it would make a good thesis if I ever wanted a doctorate.

Favorites.....Savage, Rowdy Roddy, Jerry Lawler, Jesse used to have a good act as did Flair, although Flair's matches were all exactly the same in terms of moves. Used to like Jake the Snake's act a lot too, especially in his running feud with Rick Rude.......Ya' know, what I always really wanted to do was be a script writer for one of the organizations. Now I just tell the tales of Cletus, Paw, Buford, and the Reg boys....you'll run into them around here.
