Yeah, the first time I saw pro wrestling in 1971, it frightened me big time. The next day, at a family picnic on a bay, I was telling my Uncle about it, who was 15 then, and hated wrestling then, and hates it to this day. He told me right then "Oh, that's all fake shit, and half of them are humping each other"....I thought wow! Much later on, around 1979, I was "banned" from watching wrestling by my mom, I had to be super sneaky to see it. Took the little black and white tv we had downstairs up to my room, which that itself was not easy to pull off, then I plugged my transistor radio headphones into a little sound jack I found on the TV, and it worked! Well, it worked in mono anyhow, had sound in one side of the headphones, and I watched it that way for a few months.
