If I play my cards right, I could bring network wrestling back to TV. Unfortunately, to most people, wrestling is a laughingstock. But fortunately, I'm reaching people who otherwise wouldn't watch it.

As far as wrestling goes, as long as my body is able to withstand the physical beating, I will keep wrestling.

At this point I have no interest in returning to wrestling. I am pursuing my acting career. But I never say never. I enjoyed the three years I was in the wrestling industry.
World Strongest Boy
Strongest boy Richard Sandrak,
was born in the Ukraine,
went on Las Vegas Wrestling Stage,
6 years is a very tender age.
He starting lifting weights at age two,
building big muscles through and through.
Bench press 180 pounds,
in the gym he also squats and jumps around.
Like Arnold Schwarzenegger born in Austria,
went to California to become a movie star.
Now he has a new wrestling foe,
born in Romania is Giuliano Stroe.
He did 30 air pushups on Romanian t.v.
the most interesting sight most
people did see.
A lot more muscles he will gain
bodybuilding will be his claim to fame
now who will keep their muscles up
in this rugged game?
Some people think they have a
missing gene in their DNA,
making them grow this way.
I think they missed their childhood
no matter what they say.

I think the sport of wrestling, which I became involved with at the age of 14... I competed until I was 34, kind of old for a contact sport. I coached the sport until I was 47. I think the discipline of wrestling has given me the discipline I have to write.

Please Think About This
You have taken our relationship totally out of context.
My showing respect and love for you,
Does not mean I am weak and have stopped competing.
I am seeking a mate.
Not a wrestling companion.
To greet me everyday,
With a putting me into a headlock...
And then to throw me to the floor,
To then rip clothes off my back...
IS a bit aggressive.
When I said our marriage was lacking excitement,
I meant, perhaps...
We could explore doing more romantic things.
Like going out to dinner, catch a movie or two...
Or just go for a pleasant walk together.
However,
Your decision to take wrestling lessons...
Because I am into sports,
To add pep with a re-energizing of 'your' love,
To show me I was wrong about your feelings for me...
Has an interpretation I perceive you wish to do me bodily harm.
Why wrestling?
I did marry you for better or worse...
In sickness or in health.
But...
I'm not putting up with this much longer.
How come you can't get into baking cookies or needlepoint?
Oh wait a minute...
Forget the needlepoint.
I don't want to give you anymore ideas.
But honey...
I do love your efforts.
However,
And please think about this.
Is it possible we could discuss what's best for our relationship,
Together?

Heartless
What is that thing, that beating thing
That wrestling thing
Within
That weighs me down
So much that I can't comprehend
The beginning
The end
This thing
It keeps beating
Again
And again
And again
Though it beats for no one
It only causes pain
This wrestling
Why keep it?
No one knows its name
It beats in vain
In solitude
Echoing in time
To the thumping inside
This brain
This cage
I'm hell bent
Today
I just want it to be quiet.

Judging from what looks like the popularity of this classic wrestling show is that the people like what they have grown to know and love here in Memphis.

It's good to go out and entertain these people, and you've got them on the edge of their seat, they're standing up. Then you know that you've done your job, you've entertained them. My way of entertaining them is going out and wrestling. Everyone's got their different ways.
Wrestling was like stand-up comedy for me. Every night I had a live audience of 25,000 people to win over. My goal was never to be the loudest or the craziest. It was to be the most entertaining.

One of the reasons why when Elvis dies or the Son of Sam is captured ABC News' ratings go up is because people who don't normally watch news are watching then. The question is, do you want to attract people who don't watch network news or fight over the people who do?

Not only was it that I surprised people by beating Bret Hart, but it was a great match. They still rate it as one of the best wrestling matches of all time.
It's kind of beating a dead horse if you're talking about going out and saying wrestling's fake, or this or that. People don't want to hear that. They want to hear, they wanted to find an inside story.
I Know People
I know people who help you through the night.
And I know people who
fight that very good fight.
And, I know people who're goin for the gold.
And, I know people got them aces so you better fold.
I know people who are quick to light your cigarette.
And, I know people who say 'Buddy, ya ain't seen nothin yet.'
I know people who're workin harder every day.
And I know people who got kids come out to play.
I know people, you know people, said, I'm not so different from you.
Won't you be one of my people who
Who do too.. Won't you be one of my people who.
I know people who
are cruisin up and down the track, and
I know people who
won't be comin back.
I know people ridin too high at the wheel.
And, I know people, there to cut you that dirty deal.
I know people who'll take you into town. And, I know people who
really get around.
And I know people who're buskin up and down the mall.
And, I know people who're gonna take a fall.
I know people, you know people, see, I'm not so different from you?
Won't you be one of my people too. Said, won't you be one of my people who, who do too.

Network For Lonely People
Lonely People
Are those people
Who don't have a network
Of friends that works
For them.
Getting lonely people
To network
Is hard work
And not gleeful,
But it can be done.

more people watch American idol
more people watch bad things on tv news

more people live quick
more people live easier
more people exerisce less
more people work longer
more people have someone else do everthing for them
are we more people or robots
