But come Saturday at 11 AM, Championship Wrestling from Florida after smoking a joint and putting on my favorite Pink Floyd album. I thought it was funny as Hell.
I haven't actually watched it in years. We're all entertained by different things. I didn't actually realize when I watched it that some people think it's real. F*ck, and I bet they vote. THAT's the scary thing.
Back in the 70's my friend Mark paid money to train with then top Memphis wrestlers Jerry the King Lawler and handsome Jimmy Valiant. He verified what I already knew --its all scripted.
However a few times when wrestlers that already did not like each other "accidentally" made a mistake in a punch, some real ones were thrown. Rare but it did happen, otherwise its as fake a damn 3 dollar bill.
My dad, loved to watch it on Saturdays back then. --Tyr
