Only pro wrestling is more honest all pretensions of being a legitimate sport are shed.

How could anybody root for such It seemed a tremendous release of anxiety. As Dominic Denucci pounced on Houssein Arab, it was like pouring a' billion barrels of oil down OPEC's throat. Pro wrestling it's a couple shots of whiskey without the hangover. I doubt one person there was thinking about a $1 per gallon of gasoline or making it to work by 8 a.m. For $4 or $5, it's telling off the boss, ripping up the Niagara Mohawk bill and plugging Howard Cosell's mouth all rolled into one.

Who could take such a medicine away? and the athletes themselves. More than 2,300 competitors will march into packed Garry Berry Stadium for the opening ceremonies. Colorado Gov.

Last year it was no more than a regional meet. Track is better, too," a USOC spokesman said Wednesday. "Word of mouth by the athletes themselves has really helped. I know Harvey Glance and some of the others were spreading the word on the festival at the Pan American Games," wrestlers, just like TV, turning in performances that would make The Three Stooges proud. No, it was better than that; better than "Mork and better than "Laverne and better than "Hello There was Jimmy Valiant, arch villain, pulling that foreign object from his shoe to strike the revered Chief Jay Strongbow.

There was that fan in front of me yelling, "Get There was Strongbow getting chair, then a hammer to attack Valiant. The place rocked with cheers. The fans were as much a part of the show as the wrestling. If one didn't draw the laughs the other surely would. You can't help compare it Woodhead, a five-time gold medalist in the Pan Am Games.

It's caught on in a hurry with its backers, the fans in this Rocky Mountain area Dave I come to praise professional wrestling, not to bury it.

You wouldn't want to poke fun at the grandaddy of trash sports. Pro wrestling does a good job of that itself. I always got a kick out of people who take professional wrestling seriously. "You know that hold really hurts Look at him slam his head into that turnbuckle I'd like to see you take that You ought to see this guy Can he ever wrestle." Growing up in America you get force-fed into watching pro wrestling. Back from church on Sunday, you had the choice of "Meet the "Face the Nation" or wrestling.

Swan, who struck out seven and walked none, beat the Giants 2-0 on a two-hitter in The right-hander got all the support he needed in the second inning when Joel Youngblood reached first on a fielder's choice, stole second, went to third on a throwing error by catcher Littlejohn and came home on a passed ball. Youngblood clubbed his 13th homer of the year off Giants starter Bob Knepper, 7-5, in the fourth.
