Many, many, many years ago my Scout troop was in Illinois for a jamboree. Afterwards the Scout masters took us to “Wrestling at The Chase” in St. Louis where we sat for the taping of several wrestling shows in one day. There were elderly twin sisters sitting in the same seats for all of them while everyone else had to change seats between tapings. The fun part was watching the stuntman style hits (misses) the wrestlers took until someone accidentally connected with a wrestler’s nose. They turned the cameras away as the opponent apologized profusely. We almost broke out in tears from laughing so hard.
In an old “Thin Man” movie, he goes to a wrestling match. “You’re going to see some great wrestling tonight” he was told. He replies: "Were you at the rehearsal?
Ah, the good old days when all German wrestlers goose-stepped around the ring and all Japanese wrestlers threw salt in their opponent’s eyes. Holdover biases from WWII. :)

I have a cousin who believes that pro wrestling is authentic. He is not really dumb, but has some significant mental issues.

They just keep leaving that part out of the act to try to make it more believable.

U.S. rules are different than Olympic rules. You have to keep the fans out of their seats.

Thank goodness that doesn’t happen there. Does Eno also not get why World Wrestling Entertainment started referring to their company that way?
