I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I did read up on the Anderson family and The Four Horsemen earlier this week. A podcast I listen to, talked about Ole for a long time.

Did they actually have wrestlers fight each other in your elementary school?

Gagne retired in 1981, how old is Strat? He was probably there as a promoter only.

I went to school/played hockey with Gagnes grandson, so i knew the family.

They just came and put on a little wrestling education/fun for the kids sort of deal. Showed a few moves if i remember correctly. Not full on match!

Hard to believe he was only 76. He looked a lot older than that on the last season of Curb.

“Richard and I were born three days apart in the same hospital and for most of my life he’s been like a brother to me,” David wrote in a statement Wednesday, shared by HBO. “He had that rare combination of being the funniest person and also the sweetest. But today he made me sob and for that I’ll never forgive him.”
