Thanks for reminding me of all this … the last wrestling acting we did was when I was just turning into a teen in the late 80s. One of us would go up a friend and surprise them with an unexpected Rick Flair back handed slap to the chest then cry out WOOOOOOOO!!!
and yes you are right, they really put the “entertainment” into entertainment wrestling back then. Watching it was a fun escape from reality, now they just try to use it all as another political platform
