previously connected with the game has come out in the open and made statements that actually confirm ones beliefs when one watches wrestling whether it lie over tv or on a plush ringside seat the performers in the ring should be regarded in the same light as a circus actor there is no doubt in the world that men trained in the wrestling art are able to perform fetes of strength that the
