Speaker 4: in section C, the paper ran an article just too sweet,
Speaker 4: diehard wrestling fans follow action in the ring in heroes
Speaker 4: career moves. Oh my god, this is just like a
Speaker 4: someone just saved this because it was a wrestling article
Speaker 4: that's wild, and you got a Nash all over it.

Speaker 4: That is the question. We've been asking that for ten years.
Speaker 4: I'll be your heroo.
Speaker 2: He hero?
Speaker 4: Maybe could you read just the first paragraph for us,
Speaker 4: if you can see that of the article itself? Yes,
Speaker 4: what does it take to be not at all?
Speaker 2: Do the taste to be a mean?
Speaker 1: Thirty name?
Speaker 2: Men?
Speaker 3: Happy? Your hero all the time.
Speaker 2: It's like lunch.
Speaker 3: Usual, only your hero. A professional wrestling contest, uh huh
Speaker 3: is vaguely like watching any other sporting events.
Speaker 2: Vaguely.
Speaker 5: They get jecked out in team apparel, yell at the
Speaker 5: top of their lungs, and even bring homemade signs to
Speaker 5: cheer on their favorites.
Speaker 3: But forget who has the lead rushing record or which
Speaker 3: for her back has thrown the most interceptions. Wrestling fans
Speaker 3: have more important things to worry. Uh. Will Scott Hall
Speaker 3: and Kevin Nash repair their broken friendship and become tag
Speaker 3: team partners again? Will the Steiner brothers see I do
Speaker 3: I and quit fighting each other? Will anyone ever defeat Goldbird?
Speaker 3: These are the questions the mom keep wrestling.
Speaker 2: That's Whoopie Goldbergs.
Speaker 3: No, No, she was never a wrestler.
Speaker 4: Thirty years ago.
Speaker 3: Twenty five. No, it's about thirty years ago. What is this,
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 2: Ninety eight, So, so it's twenty six years ago.
Speaker 3: It's before two thousand, twenty five, twenty five, coming up.
Speaker 5: This right after this Christmas.
Speaker 3: Yes, these are the crush questions that keep wrestling fans.
Speaker 4: On the edge of their seats MM.
Speaker 3: And the stories that have made wrestling surge in popularity
Speaker 3: in the past. In the past few years, they've made
Speaker 3: it in the past few years. Die Hard fans don't
Speaker 3: just know the characters.
Speaker 2: I'm a Diehard film. I like Diehard too as well.
Speaker 2: I'm famous Diehard.
Speaker 3: Three matches that may all break their careers. You're old
Speaker 3: Matt Vickery.
Speaker 2: Uh huh uh he's he's gonna get it. Oh, it's
Speaker 2: his turn. Love it is the.
Speaker 4: Ex Ryvak's brother.
Speaker 2: I like watching it, you said, yeah.
Speaker 3: I like the signature moves and the trash talk. Keeping
Speaker 3: up with the storylines between wrestlers is part of what
Speaker 3: Ki's Vicker.
Speaker 2: And Vickory fan. He said not.
Speaker 3: Victory become so familiar with the sport that he can
Speaker 3: often predict.
Speaker 2: Who will win each.
Speaker 6: Like a fan, Victory knows each wrestler's full file, along
Speaker 6: with the signature moves that send Cross into a frenzy.
Speaker 3: He probably even grant a demonstration if requested.
Speaker 4: Well, let's not request that. That's a wonderful reading, and

Speaker 4: That's pretty Yeah, yeah, that's that's an investment. Television brings
Speaker 4: up weighty issue wrestling, acquiring followers of alley. So this
Speaker 4: has continued. But yeah, this is like in nineteen ninety eight,
Speaker 4: wrestling was really hot, and so every newspaper in the
Speaker 4: country was like.
Speaker 2: Hey, people like wrestling.
Speaker 4: Let's figure out why these idiots are watching that, And
Speaker 4: so that twelve year old was held out. That's the
Speaker 4: unfortunate example. Well, Christian, you want to thank you that's
Speaker 4: a great box full of a lot of fun. And
Speaker 4: they were really fortunate that you put this in our hands,
Speaker 4: as Mama Saraw was on hand to read it, because
Speaker 4: that's one of the finer renditions you're going to hear
Speaker 4: better than and we you know, we we know a
Speaker 4: lot about dramatically reading newspaper articles from thirty years ago.
