Think I was about 6 or 7ish when a neighbor of ours took a bunch of us kids to a wrestling show (I say show) at the Olympic Auditorium in downtown L.A. (the one with the big boxer mural on the side).
They were all there, Gorgeous George, Andre the Giant, Freddie Blassie, etc.
The kids I was with were totally into it, thought it was the real deal.
I had none of it.
It was, to my recollection, even at 6 or 7 the biggest fake sideshow.
I remember going out to the back door with all the kids to get autographs and seeing the tape hanging off their face where the fake blood capsules popped.
I think wrestling back then might have been bigger than it is today.
