Yeah, he’ll definately put the hurt on him. This fight should have happened five years ago.
I think that, today, everyone knows professional wrestling is 100% showmanship.
I was surprised lately to find myself in a discussion with half a dozen people who seriously thought of professional boxing in exactly the same way. I was the only one who considered it a sport. I actually thought the outcome was determined by the ability of the athletes. Everyone else in the room considered to be basically a fake sport, with the winner decided well in advance.
I really can't say either way, I guess, but Boy, this country sure has changed since my youth.
Unrelated but interesting
JFK’s 1958 Senate opponent, Vincent J. Celeste died a few days ago, RIP.
This obit of him mentions he was friends with boxing great Rocky Marciano.
<<<<<< Celeste also launched a thriving law practice, its best-known client being heavyweight boxing champion Rocky Marciano.
Well aware that Marciano was Celeste’s client and friend, Kennedy nonetheless asked the “Brockton Bomber” to march with him in Boston’s Columbus Day parade as he sought re-election in 1958. As Celeste recalled to this reporter, “Rocky called and told me he was getting subtle threats that some of his business and promotional deals were not going to come through if he didn’t march with Jack. I told him I would never come between something that would provide for his wife and little girl and to do what he had to do. He said he’d think it over for a few days.”
He did. A few days later, Celeste recalled, Marciano told Celeste that “Jack’s people had called and asked if he was going to march with the senator. Marciano told them, ‘I’d die first.’”
“Good old Rocky!,” beamed Celeste. <<<<<<<<<
By “a few days ago” of course I mean last month. ;d
