I use to watch wrestling ... long rime ago.

I met Captain Lou at a car wash with my dad when I was like 6 years old.

My maternal grandfather was a big wrestling fan and always watched matches on television. This was back in the 1950's.

My paternal grandfather was a big wrestling fan as well. Around the same time frame. Lol

They either didn't know or didn't care that the matches were scripted.

True. It is entertaining I must admit.

It's funny growing up that they wanted you to believe it was real...and now they actually want you to know it's a show just like any other show and not a sport with a winner/loser. But the one thing that is real about it is these guys do get hurt. And the ironic thing is they wind up hurting themselves more than each other. Some of the bumps they take and how they fall makes me ache just looking at it.

Professional wrestling takes two types of talent. First, acting talent. They need to get into the role of their character. Second, the same ability as a stuntman (or stuntwoman), to take blows and to fall down without getting really hurt. That is hard to do and I could never do it.

There was a guy named Leaping Kenny. Man that guy could jump and do all sorts of acrobatics. He was worth watching..
