I ain't a forty-hour motherf*cker, man.
I lived outside Amarillo, Texas for nine years and never saw terry Funk wrestle. I saw him make a lot of car commercials, but was never one for the wrestling game. I used to watch a little on Sunday mornings when I attended church at the Ace Lounge in Tampa about 30 years ago. That was pre-WWF - the time of Gorgeous George. From time to time I have tuned in to see what was going on - honestly, to see Miss Elizabeth - but I tuned out quickly as they spent all their time talking instead of wrestling.
So, see what goes on behind the scenes was very interesting. Especially, seeing how the least move is choreographed for maximum crown excitement.
It was also interesting to see people like Funk and Jake the Snake after they could no longer make it in the big time and had to resort to the bloody circuit, or ECW, and doing shows outside the big-time because of their drug or psychological problems.
I do have to say that taking a four year old to a wresting match to see her daddy beat to a pulp and sustain head injuries that required stitches is just plain child abuse.
