Hey! I watched Killer Kowalski and Haystack Calhoun when I was growing up, and I turned out OK.
This is going back a LONG way, but when I was a kid my aunt and uncle took me to several wrestling matches and I loved it. I saw Gorgeous George in all his silly glory, the flying Argentina Rocca, Mr. Moto with his "sleeper" hold, Lou Thesz, and several others. It was entertaining and good clean fun!
