I grew up on wrestling. The very first day we had cable, I was watching WGN in Chicago, Saturday night wrestling.
On the Chicago channel, it was the Funk brothers who pulled a shiv out of their shorts, or bashed the opponent with a chair when the ref wasn’t looking.
On the Amarillo channel they were the white-hat good guys.
That’s the day I learned pro wrestling was rigged. My “ovaltine” moment growing up.
I worked for NASCAR driver in the ‘70’s (Elmo Langley)...A couple of his friends were Lucky Roberts and Homer O’Dell (wrestlers)...I learned a lot about pro wrestling from listening to them....
