I’ve lambasted it fairly often over at Sin City. But there was a time that I was a fan. Back in the 60s and 70s, I used to pay a lot of attention to it and knew a few of wrestlers… well, not quite personally, but close enough to where they would usually say ‘hello’ to me after a match as they were either walking… or being carried out, lol! I remember quite well sitting in Morrison’s Cafeteria in Savannah, circa 1969, and seeing “Butcher” Vachon a few tables away. I was granted a brief leave from dinner so I could get his autograph… and kept it as a keep-sake until about 1981 when it was lost in a move… You’re right… there was a degree of honor and fair play back then… something that I don’t see at all in the contemporary version.
