One moment I recall from back in the good old WWF Saturday morning shows: Mean Gene was talking about a pheasant hunting trip in South Dakota and Ted Kennedy was going to be part of the hunting party until-------
he found out they had to drive across a bridge, then he backed out.

Used to watch that shit years ago back when Mean Gene was a young man and the Hulkster didn't have crepey skin.
Even going back to the days when it was in black and white on local TV. Andre the Giant, Haystack Calhoun (you would have liked him), Cowboy Billy Watts, Bobo Brazil, Pepper Gomez, Ray Stevens, Pat Patterson...
That shite was cool but it jumped the shark a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggg time ago.

I remember all wrestling in my house being banned after I tried to body slam my younger brother. I was about 7 at the time. A lot of the same characters as Mikey was talking about, just different names.

For fuck's sakes, dude. I remember seeing it for the first time when I was about 5-6, and INSTANTLY recognized it as being silly & fake. You didn't know until you were how old?
Where did I say that you I thought it was real?
