The line stretched two blocks long with wrestling fans young and old chomping at the bit to see their favorites poke their opponent’s eyes out, but not before *** loudspeaker warned the spectators not to get into the act. Once inside, 3 huge television screens beamed in WrestleMania from 3 cities with *** host of the sport’s greatest, including champ Hulk Hogan, King Kong Bundy, Mr. T, and names that would scare even *** gorilla. But if the crowd’s roar was any indication, nobody here was scared. They were in wrestle heaven. Those of you who stayed home tonight might wanna know what’s so great about wrestling. I’ll tell you what, taking out your frustrations on those big guys on the screen. It’s just fun. This is America’s entertainment. It’s *** little aggression. You get to take *** little aggression out, get to yell *** little. It’s fun picking each other’s eyes and jamming each other’s nose. Is that flips and flops? Well, I never know which is coming next, and I just get tickled. So the next time you get mad at your boss, your spouse, or your kids, don’t take it out on them. Watch *** wrestling match in Sacramento. I’m Alice Scott for Channel 3 reports.
