Covino and Rich

All right, so Rich, it's WrestleMania weekend.

Yes, sir.

What's your question?

My question is, like I said, if you're around our age, you remember as a little kid, you can be older, younger, doesn't matter.

I'm just saying we remember the evolution of wrestling, right?

Like our grandparents would tell us about all these old hairy guys grappling.

Then all of a sudden Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan.

I'm telling you, I share such a, I can't say unique memory because I'm not sure how to...

feel about it but I remember either the adults in my life didn't want to tell me the truth or they really didn't know because to see wrestling at one point you had to go and see it when it started airing on TV I don't think my parents and the adults in my life

really knew if it was real or fake because I would ask them, is it real or fake?

I guess back then they were like, I think it's fake.

I don't know.

There was a sense of staying in character, right?

That was the whole thing.

But that's how long we've been watching is the point.

But Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan, two guys who had tarnished reputations towards the end of Hogan's life and everything, they created everything.

You can only credit Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan for creating this ridiculous.

Or Andre the Giant who passed the torch to Hulk Hogan.

Yeah, he took the fall for the entire franchise.

But Hogan, Andre the Giant, Macho Man, Junkyard Dog, Rowdy Roddy Piper, the OGs from our childhood that really put wrestling, which like I said, it was like a niche thing, like maybe your grandpappy watched in black and white.
