We watched it every week. Family affair, and don't you dare walk in front of my grandfather when it was on.

I loved Wahoo and Fritz.


My aunt was REALLY into wrasslin'. So much so that she went once a month to the Sportatorium to watch it.

One night she decided it would be a great idea to stick a lit cigarette to the back of Bruiser Brody's leg. It wasn't. He turned around and slapped the crap out of her. Which prompted my uncle, who was a bonafide badass, to jump the barrier and jump on Brody.

It took four people to separate them, and they were banned from the Sportatorium.
