Guys , how many of you used to watch wrestling or still watch it?
I remember watching it with my dad since the early 8os. Before the wwf and other national promotions came out.
I don’t watch it anymore,,, it’s just boring now… I guess it had a degree of believability back then… and the identities characters today just don’t seem interesting.

My dad was a very big and strong man,,, 6’2 and 260 pounds worked road construction and built like a tank.
We went to a live event when we were kids and we were horrible.
There was an incident where one of the wrestlers was tossed out of the ring,, he was wearing a mask and we had. Front row seats… my brothers and myself dumped our drinks on him…
We wasn’t scared of him… because we knew he wasn’t gonna mess around with our dad,,, lol.

Of course he stayed in character and ignored us,,, and our dad made sure the hard way that we didn’t do that again when we got home.
Fun times.

I grew up watching Maple Leaf Wrestling first. Then started watching the USA version. Quite often the stars overlapped.

One of everyone's favorite wrestlers. Andre the Giant

I grew up in the late'60's-mid70's watching it.I try to watch it today and I cant.Somethings changed,I think back then their characters were more subtle,today their ridiculous.

If it were real .....I'd prolly watch it


But just can't do it

Rowdy Roddy Piper was my fav when I was little. My brother was super involved in wrastlin and he managed to get WWF to come to the high school once. Razor Ramon was there among others.
But once I was outta Jr High I lost interest in it.
Used to actually get depressed once a pay per view like WrestleMania was over and couldn’t go to school the next day

It’s good entertainment. Better than the news

….. ya’ll better be careful calling it fake lol

Dick the Bruiser and Cowboy Bob Ellis with the Figure 4 Grapevine hold! LOL, Let's not forget "The Claw". shows how old I am. LOL

You a Jive Soul Bro! A Jive Soul Bro an ya always lie to yo friends!!!!

When I was a kid….loved watching Wahoo McDaniel and his dance

Living 60 miles north of Detroit we watched Big Time Wrestling out of Detroit, Bobo Brazil,the Sheik,Ox Baker,Firpo,and more

I actually like watching all the documentary series out there on the wrestlers. It's a rough life for sure.

I grew up redneck, we were big into the WWF. We bought tickets and went to a high school auditorium to watch the first Wrestlemania on a big screen. LOL

I remember all the great old characters, Haystacks Calhoun, Chief Jay Strongbull, Ivan Putski, and even some of the newer ones were pretty good, Hulk, Hogan, of course, the Macho Man the Ultimate Warrior, Nature Boy Rick Flair, Captain Lou Albano, the Undertaker…

It’s been decades since I watched it. I’m into MMA now.

I remember this album!!!
There were 2 different albums if I remember correctly.
The piledriver song was actually pretty catchy

If you know the original 4 Horsemen…you might be a wrestling fan.

Another favorite! A big burly good guy!

If you think that was good, you need to watch midget wrestling sometime. It is hilarious!

@bogmaster might like this? But I used to wash dishes on weekends graveyard shift Friday and Saturday nights when I was 15 at Rays truck stop on top of the hill above the St Croix river heading to Hudson Wisconsin on I94. And the limos would pull up and out would come Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Barron Von Rasche and the Shiek and Sargent Slaughter and every other AWA star you could think of, not always all at once but every weekend some of em all riding together and smokin cigars traveling between Minneapolis and Milwaukee.

They were all cool and nice to us all but the road warriors were dicks…to everyone.. lol
