I used to use it on Monday Nights at the Charter House with Timmy and Oley,

I love pro wrestling but it is a terribly demanding lifestyle...like others have said, constantly on the road, wrestling almost every day...one mistake and you can be crippled or worse. The old guys medicated with alcohol...lots of alcohol. Back then, body size not shape was all that mattered...Dusty never won any beauty contests but the fans loved him, Abdulah the Butcher probably had the worst looking body of any man in history but boy was he scary! The "pretty boy" mindset is what has doomed modern wrestlers...sad really!

LOL! I loved Jake the Snake, he just never seemed to get his life together. One of those guys who was always on the doorstep of stardom but never could keep himself going...like Diamond Dallas Paige.

I was flipping channels the other night and caught the most recent episode of Hogan knows best. There was a pretty interesting conversation between Hogan and McMahon on it. McMahon basically told him it was time for him to return full time and that his appearances every couple of months were no longer beneficial for the wwe....He told him to cut way back on his being around his family and strap up the boots full time...Hogan can't even walk anymore....McMahon is a viscious business man and takes no prisoners....After all Hogan has done for the McMahon empire and at 53 being told to get back in that ring and make them more $$$ is absurd....
