Warning: Not safe for kids!!!
Not the Four Horsemen, NWO, Million Dollar Mooch, Hulkamania, or even Andre came close to what you are going to see below. Clue: King Cobra bites wrassler. This took place on a Saturday morning right up against the cartoons. Bugs Bunny had nothing on this. It was so scary it ruined a whole generation of kids. Kids were literally crying. Enjoy.
Jake the Snake told the rather humorous backstory on Joe Rogan's podcast. Don't have a drink in your mouth while listening.

Wow! That got my attention!
This is trash!!!
Panem Et Circenses is again the tonic for relieving impatience and distrust of government.
I have a big admiration for these men. Other than shooting up steroids, they are finely tuned athletes with the grace of a ballerina. The choreography going on for these events is awesome.
Thanks for the post and laughs.
the snake was devenomized.
If I live to be 142, I will never understand the allure of this crap.You people must have had damn boring childhoods.
I love watching their smack talking interviews from the 1980s. The ones before and after matches. You can tell the cocaine flowed free back then. Hulk Hogan and the Macho Man would be bug eyed and talking 90 words a second. You just knew.
Senator Macho Man. The Mississippi GOP is salivating at the thought and already shifting our budget around to get that man some money.
I haven't seen that many kids cry since Haley Barbour chaired the Childhood Obesity "Scared Straight" program.
This was the great old days of pro wrestling. Nobody cared about the matches. It was always the interviews and side shows that kept our attention. And then you tuned in for the next 10 weeks to see the soap opera. Vince McMahon was a marketing genius
@8:44, tell us what high class entertainment filled your childhood? Ballet? Coin collecting? Torah study?
Love WWE, but many great memories from WCW’s Monday Nitros in the ‘90s! Underrated!
@10:41 - any of those would have been better than watching fat dudes in tights jump on each other.
112, absolutely agree.
It would be true for back then, and its true today. Anybody that can find entertainment in this crap is really hurting for something to do.
Entertainment is in eye of the beholder. Never believed wrestling for a moment but enjoyed the speechless immensely whether in person or on TV. Some people enjoy rotund performers singing opera in a language they don’t understand others a hip hop concert in an urban language they barely understand. I used to go to nickel beer night at the armory and later quarter beer at the coliseum. Thousands of Mississippians from young to old would show up and love it. Little old ladies would knit tights for their hero and spew venom at their enemies all while knowing it was no more real than their soap operas. Lighten up - people are entertained by the most inane things. You are no better because you love Shakespeare and Pavarotti. It’s all escapism.
Mississippians choose their political leaders like the choose their WWE heroes and get the government that they deserve from city hall to the White House.
