might have said it before, but I grew up basically down the street from The Sportatorium and went often with my uncle. I outgrew wrestling, but I still appreciate the sport.
People call it fake, but that’s not at all accurate or fair. It’s scripted. Big fucking difference. Those guys, at least when I was growing up and visiting them, were fucking tough. They had “tricks” to bleed on cue, sure, but they still took damage. Still needed to be athletes capable of pulling off those moves or they’d kill themselves and others.
