6. Hey man
We're going to this in May:

http://www.pwawrestling.ca/

We know the promoter; there's another show happening in Canmore the night before I'm seriously thinking about going to; we need a road trip about now.

I mean, Samoa Joe, Goldust AND Abby on the same card? We know a few of the wrestlers in both cards and it's a huge deal for them, too...

8. That's quite a lineup!
It's amazing that Abdullah is still wrestling. I think he is in his early seventies!

11. Oh that looks awesome
I'd give my left nut to see Samoa Joe whip some ass in person. Well, maybe I wouldn't go that far but still...

Goldust is still awesome. Weird character, but cool, you know?

16. Can I be the Gorgeous George? The Original and One and Only:

Gorgeous George is truly the original showman of professional wrestling, and his flamboyant theatrics have unquestionably forever changed the "sport" of professional wrestling. During his heyday (which began in the late 1940's and lasted through to the early 1960's, a more famous or controversial entertainment figure could not be found. It has been said that during his prime, George was even more well known than the President. He influenced generations of future wrestlers -- from Buddy Rogers to Adrian Street, "Superstar" Billy Graham to Ric Flair, "Adorable" Adrian Adonis to Goldust...even Mohammed Ali, Little Richard, Liberace, and numerous other figures in both sports and entertainment. One is hard pressed to think of a more influential public figure, let alone a professional wrestler...

Gorgeous George was born George Wagner in Seward, Nebraska and began his wrestling career during his teens.

He competed for over a decade simply as George Wagner, with very little success. Physically unimposing at just 5'9 and weighing only 215 pounds, Wagner was a plain, less than average wrestler. But that would change as the resourceful Wagner, who contemplated giving up on trying to make it as a wrestler, developed the gimmick that would forever change both him and the "sport."

He grew his hair out so it was long, could be curled and pinned back with gold-plated bobby pins (Georgie Pins), and dyed it platinum blond. He wore elegant robes, dubbed himself "The Human Orchid" and was always escorted by one of his male ring valets (Geoffrey or Thomas Ross) who would spray his his corner of the ring, as well as George's opponents, with disinfectant and perfume. He was the originator of using entrance music, and was always accompanied by his theme "Pomp And Circumstance"...which would again be used some 40 years later by Randy "Macho Man" Savage. Gorgeous George's ring entrances were legendary, and often took nearly as long as his matches. The effeminate grappler worked people into fits of laughter, curiosity, and outright rage with his pageantry and theatrics. The consummate villain, George would cheat at every possible opportunity, infuriating fans to the point of rioting on several occasions. So riveted were they by George's theatrics, fans would flock in droves to see him wrestle, and even more importantly, they tuned-in in record numbers to watch Gorgeous George on the brand-new medium of television.
