I used to drive the wrestlers to the arena many years ago, having worked for the hotel they used to stay at when they were in town. Hulk Hogan, Baron Von Rashke, Ken Patera, Jesse Ventura, Adrian Adonis, Nick Bockwinkel, Rock & Roll Buck Zumhoff, etc.... all the old schoolers.
Plenty of times I would arrive a few minutes early to pick them up and find several of them in the ring on the day before the matches, rehearsing their moves.
However, staged and acted out as it may be, they still take a pounding nonetheless. To dismiss wrestling as "fake" and leave it at that is a mistake. If you guys had any cluse as to the amount of pain medications these guys take after their matches you'd shit yourselves, every one of you.
