I attended live rasslin' events in Georgia, DC and Pittsburgh as an adult. I knew it was 'fake', but it was entertaining.
Pittsburgh packed 20K+ fans in during the hey day. My buddy and I had our hangover brunch in Pittsburgh. Big guy in front of me gave the cashier an autograph. I asked, "Who was that guy?" She said, "Jake the Snake." We walked outside to our car and saw Jake light up a cigarette in his fancy black vehicle with the good looking blonde.
In DC another buddy and I went to watch Andre the Giant, plus others. He was near the end of the line and his match lasted 20 seconds. Of course, he won. He died within six months of that event. Mayor for Life, Marion Barry attended; before his downfall. It was a Sunday after church.
