My best friend’s Mother was watching a wrestling match on TV.
One of the wrestlers was about as bad as he could act. Suddenly she grabbed a broom and headed for the TV set. My friend’s Daddy was able to disarm her before she broke the TV.

“HBK!!!!!!”

Net worth today - not even close to Steve Austin!. Don’t forget Austin made some movies and was on a TV reality series ages ago.

But I did - too many characters to remember! What's amazing is how different they were from each other.

I remember an interview many years ago on a 60 minutes type show. I'm pretty sure it was John Stossel who was interviewing a wrestler and asked him flat out an=bout matches being faked. The guy knocked him flat on his ass, looked down at him and asked, "Does that feel fake?"

I saw that too and the wrestler should have been thrown in jail for a very long time. It was a simple assault. No question the wrestler was large and powerful and capable of inflicting damage on the little guy.

Of course it is fake. The wrestler was also a jackass.

Killer Kowalski

You have to be pretty old to remember him. My Babcia loved watching him in the 50’s on that new fangled thing called tv.
