.....been a fan since the late 50's, but.......pro wrestling is not essential and needs to be put on hold like the rest of us right now. How they are allowed to continue on is a mystery to me, it sends a really bad message to begin with.....the hell with our workers.

I had to go a market yesterday, we were out of milk/eggs/bread. I dawned my mask, and headed out. After grabbing the stuff I go to cash out, they had plastic glass seperating the cashier from the customer, yep....this was a first in my life, for a supermarket. That is what we are dealing with now, and we stiil have rasslin'?

I get the AEW, and the other smaller shows can't do this but the WWE could, Vince just gives his workers a bonus so they can go home and ride this out, to keep making them work during this is simply wrong.

I guess it will take a Russell Wilson, Christian McCaffrey to break a leg before they dump that stupid pro bowl, I guess Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre would have to get sick before shutting down the WWE.

As ya probably know he started out in a tagteam The Freedom Fighters as Rock his partner Flash was Sting. Then off to Texas as the Dingo Warrior as a solo performer. So where would The Ultimate Warrior be ranked in the post Hulk Hogan era, how about.....30ish. Yep, I can think of 29 who made a bigger impact on the biz.

Who are those 29, and how many of them took Hogan’s belt after press slamming him?
