My grandfather used to love wrestling. He would sit in his chair and grunt and groan and wave his arms and body like he was in the ring. Gorgeous George was his favorite.

Is that crow / starling sitting in a Pulmeria?

Yes, I believe it’s a Plumeria obtusa, the Singapore graveyard flower, it’s a species of the genus Plumeria. It is native to the West Indies including Bahamas; southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Florida.

"Real" get along or "fake" get along by bashing a folding metal chair across each other's backs?

Man, y'all are making me feel old talking about your grandfathers being wrestling fans.

My dad was a big WWF fan, and I remember those names from him watching those. It was also funny when my brother and I were old enough to realize that it was all scripted and told Dad, "You DO know it's all acting, right?"
and Dad trying argue, "No, no. It can't be fake".
"Sure Dad. Hulk Hogan gets choked unconscious every single week, then miraculously regains consciousness while he's still being choked, then beats the other guy".

So adorable

I am.

 

[Casinostocks]

I am.

It may sound like a cliche but people rarely change visually. If I had to wager, I'd say that the wee lil one on the right is your younger sister whose photo you had posted a while back, the one who is now a nurse?

Holy crap, you're good!

Umm, thanks but not that good as I have no clue about the identity of the middle member of your Rock N Roll Express posse

If you knew that was the girl from across the street, I might have to get you investigated.

I just feel bad that you guys probably weren't exposed to British wrestling back in the day. Big Daddy and Giant haystacks were the best. Google either of them to check out British peak performance

Yup! I may be very nosy with a keen set of eyes but I’m not creepy and by n’ large, I’m generally harmless despite stirring it up in here at times just for fun

At the risk of divulging my age, my grade school wrestling hero was Bruno Sammartino. Bruno, a native of Pittsburgh was famous for his powerful bear hug finishing move, and I believe was the longest reigning world heavyweight champion for the WWW Federation, which he held for 7 yrs, 8 mos.

During 5th & 6th grade my friends and I would stage mock wrestling matches and do our best to imitate the moves of our favorite wrestlers. That is when we discovered that the matches had to be fake because the moves really hurt. Take this finishing move as an example, the Boston Crab. It was a favorite of Randy Savage. This one could hurt like hell.

Great fun at the time !

ICONOCLAST!

How can you say that? It can't be fake. It takes a lot of skill, training and physical conditioning to be able to bash each other with a metal chair and not hurt each other. On the other hand.....
