packsaddle 753 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 warning, it is not what you think: http://www.mikemooneyham.com/pages/viewfull.cfm?ObjectID=012AF3FC-3048-826A-C420B4184D0EB886 A friend of mine had Sputnik as his neighbor when he was growing up. He tells some good stories. I thought that the anniversary of his namesake was a fitting occasion. I remember him as the bad guy we all booed. Those were the days. FWIW, championship wrestling is real. Or so I am told by people who seem absolutely convinced.(This message has been edited by packsaddle) Link to post Share on other sites

SR540Beaver 116 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Yes Pack, it is real. Just like political talk radio is real. Honest! Link to post Share on other sites
Gunny2862 11 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 A great story but I''m a Dusty Rhoads fan, and enjoy when Mr. Wrestling #2 takes the ring also. (Suspending all belief processes into a childlike innocence)And yes those ARE the finest conditioned athletes in the world today. Wrestling is absolutely the real deal - you just can''t write stories like the ones that play out in the WWE.(Okay, I''m back) Link to post Share on other sites
Trevorum 24 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Well, I don''t know if wrestling is real, but after reading about Sputnik, I can say that truth is way, way stranger than fiction. Link to post Share on other sites
packsaddle 753 Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Yeah, Trevorum, I thought you''d like that article. Amazing! Gunny, long after my childhood I would turn on Championship Wrestling on the TV. Turn the sound off...and then put on the orchestral score to almost any ballet. Combined with a brew or two, it was another amazing combination for one more pleasant diversion. I now promote Championship Wrestling as "Redneck Ballet". Hey, it works!
