I go back to the days of Antonino Rocca, Gorgeous George, Haystacks Calhoun, the Graham Brothers (Eddie and Dr. Jerry--"noted tree surgeon"), etc. My brother, sister and I used to watch with a supply of rubber bands, which we shot at the bad guys, like The Shiekh, who had a female handler dressed in veils who he used to slap around before matches. My son and his pals took it up in the days of Sargeant Slaughter, Magnificent Muroco, Jimmy Snuka, Bob Bachlund, etc.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
