Did you ever watch Pro-Rasslin' ?
It was certainly not Greco-Roman style wrestling.
Way back when we had values, we always pulled for the little guy, the underdog, the good guy.
When the huge, bald-headed brute would grab the little guy and sling him against the ropes, then catch him on the rebound, and then body-slam him into the canvas, we couldn't help but root for the little guy.
The crowd would "boo" the brute in the middle of the ring. They would hope the little guy would get up off the canvas and kick his ass!
Then the brute would get the little guy in a headlock, swing him around so that his back was toward the referee, then reach in his trunks and pull out a bar of lye soap. He would then rub it in the eyes of the little guy, and then put the soap back in his trunks. All the while the referee could not see.
But, finally, after the loathsome brute had expended all his dirty tricks, the little guy gets a second wind. The brute throws him against the ropes and he ricochets off like a bullet and comes barreling toward the brute in the center of the ring. He dropkicks the brute and the big guy tumbles to the canvas. The little guy gets some magical, distorted hold on the disgusting blob, as he lay helpless on the canvas.
The little guy was victorious and the crowd went home happy.
But today, it seems to be different. The crowd seems to be cheering for the little guy to get his ass kicked?
