stephenPE;n233938 said:Mid sixties. At my grandmother's house in Gville would get channel 12 from Jax. Gordon Solie. Eddie Graham. Sailor Art Thomas (huge guy like 6 8) Haystacks Calhoun, Hiro Matsuda. Jack Briscoe.(he may have actually wrestled at OU and had real wrestling skills) The Great Malenko (wicked russian) It looked real to me as a 10 year old. Then I went to Miami. My BF's brother back from Viet Nam (cobra pilot) took us the Miami Beach Convention Hall. Steel cage match. Seeing it live at 12 proved how fake it was. Spitting out fake teeth. Punches that never came close. It was over for me. But oddly one of my smartest friends (went to Vanderbilt) still watched it into his 30s. So long from the sunshine state (anyone remember that line?)

GatorInGeorgia;n233854 said:I don't know if you all remember but Ron Simmons got caught up in some sort of burglary/stolen goods ring while playing at FSU, along with some other Nole players (shocking I know). I remember it being huge news in Central Florida when I was a kid. The Noles and Bowden have literally been running a crime ridden program for almost 40 years, which means that Bowden pretty much started looking the other way on behalf of his convict players almost from the day he took over.
On a side note about Simmons, I saw him in the Atlanta airport about 5 years ago. He would have been in his early 50s at that time. The guy was so FREAKING HUGE, even at that age. He wasn't overly tall, maybe 6'1, but he was jacked up and looked like a mean SOB.

The best manager was JJ Dillon.
LagoonGator68;n234277 said:Several players were "selling" color TV sets off the loading dock at Maas Brothers, but I don't believe Simmons was one of them. He was a one man wrecking crew at the nose in college, but it didn't transfer to the NFL.
VulcanAlex;n234175 said:Half true (Soap Opera) half false (rednecks). There are no rednecks in my family and many of them actually enjoy wrestling. You do have to remember the script.
I went to Nashville to see WWF, and someone charged the ring. You could tell it was not in the script as everything stopped until the person was restrained.

Gator Fever;n234170 said:lol I still thought it was kind of real at 12 - they did use those hidden razor blades to get the blood flowing etc. A few of those names I don't remember like Sailor Art Thomas but I wasn't there watching in the 60's.
VulcanAlex;n234468 said:Yes I agree but many of us who are not rednecks have such. No need to be sorry, but I am not a redneck and will correct anybody (politely I hope) who indicates that I am.
After all I was born up north to basically an immigrant family half British and half oppressed Russian. So no southern rednecks in this family.
Whatever!!!
