Subject: RE: BS: old-time wrestler Verne Gagne
A few years ago an old man was attacked on a NY street by three young punks and he "kicked 9 kinds of shit" out of all three of them. It turned out to be not a helpless old man, but "Battling Nelson" former lightweight boxing champion.

Anyone remember the scene in "Cocoon" where Hume Cronin decked that orderly? My favorite scene.

At the age of 70, my Uncle Guy decked a man half his age for insulting Guy's wife. He had Guy arrested and when the Judge saw Uncle he almost threw the aggressor into jail.Uncle had to pay a fine, but the idiot never lived it down. Decked by a skinny old man. I would be mortified.
