That was the same timeframe where ol Vincent was testifying in front of Congress that wrestling was completely fake and didn’t need to be regulated like an actual sport, no need for drug testing or safety equipment because it’s all fake right?
And the Congress critters are it all up. Never acknowledging that while the ending is predetermined, the path to get there is still incredibly physically demanding and a mistake could result in actual injury or death.
