oh yeah and crap like this, always refer to the wrestler by the first name as if you just had dinner with them (ALA Ahmad Rashad and his stupid..."I was having dinner with Micheal ...................).

For me, watching Thesz vs Rocca was never a satisfying way to spend ten minutes. Tony was a jumper and a flyer and a dropkicker, and Lou, although he made the same choice that Tony did to participate in The Great Unreal Thing, was the real thing, and it showed.
This, exactly. "Tony" no less.
Rocca's been dead since 1977. The familiarity with which CM addresses him is hilarious. Not sure exactly how old CM is (50s I suspect) but I doubt he was having drinks and shooting the shit with Rocca in the early '70s. I also love the extra douchy touch of saying "The Great Unreal Thing". WTF does that even mean? It's professional wrestling, what "Great Real Thing" was Thesz doing with anyone else? Like rolling around on the mat with Everett Marshall was any more real.
