You know Avante, I can give a less about jazz, track, rasslin, but I like you.

I'll talk wrestling with you all day, but not independent territory "rasslin" from the 50's and 60's that nobody gives a about anymore. I like it all, Lucha, Puroresu, American, Garbage wrestling, you name it.

Keep in mind you'd be talking to me and I'm not..."nobody gives a ".....ok? I look at the big picture not just the right now.

I grew up watching Freddie Blassie, Ray Stevens, Lou Thesz, Pepper Gomez etc and had the magazines talking about Bruno Sammartino, 'Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers, Killer Kowalski etc.

I want it all, all except....Lucha Libra, Puroresu.....nay!!!!!!!!!

All have not a semblance of athleticism and had 5 moves tops. Boring tbh.

Then you're not a fan of the entirety of wrestling.

There's a load of stuff there that would blow your mind if you were open to it.

Be honest......how many of those I mentioned did you see rassle? Then there's Antonio Rocca, Edouard Carpentier who makes most these guys today look sluggish.

Who hasn't seen Lucha Libra? It's simply....tumbling.

Trust me if you've seen...Sabu....nothing in rassling will blow your mind.

I've seen clips. Seriously, Superfly was the first old school wrestler that was remotely interesting looking back. He was ahead of his time. You watch an old school match and it's literally 25 arm drags, 15-30 knife edge chops, and a load of playing to the crowd. Thank god I grew up in the 80's.

[ohmwrecker]

Having a conversation with Avante is the equivalent of having a farting contest with the dude in the stall next to you.

I've seen it all from around 58 up til Monday night (tonight on DVR). It was far far far better than what we see today, far more interesting characters, storylines. Today is all about the kids, that wasn't the case back before PPV/selling dolls/games etc. There was a more mature audience, so we saw a more mature brand of rasslin'.

"Here I sit broken hearted
Had to but only farted."

You might find those writings fascinating, I won;t.
