    My aunt suffered from high blood pressure,no doubt from her constant hatred of Skinny Jimmy Chickenneck(i.e. Hart).Doctors informed her to revamp her lifestyle and maybe a change of scenery(no more fried food or live 'rasslin).Her response,move from Memphis,join us in California after we moved there from Texas,to see Hart live in the WWF after a day of one of her famous fish fries.Miss them days.

    These classic Memphis matches are the best....I enjoy the roughness of this era in pro wrestling....when the wrestlers seemed like they were men you seen every day in your own neighborhood....the dad's, cocky jocks, the "wimp's", hell even the quiet hot single guy that rode a motorcycle as his main transportation every day in the summers...the cool, scary, hot guy....I seriously love this stuff for that reason in itself...the wrestlers are just kinda average everyday men.....not the "superstars" of today's "entertainment".....I liked it when it was RASSLIN, not the over budgeted, circus spectacle it is today
