Pro wrestlers are always politically incorrect. Tag teams such as “The Assassins,” “Beer Money Inc.,””The Spanish Fleas,” Midget Team “The Mini Vans,” & Native American Tag Team “The Wahoos” all have names meant to offend fans. Names like “The Sheik,” “Andre The Giant” “The Big Boss Man” & “The Rock” aren’t their real names. When born, weighing just 8 pounds, did their parents really name them “HULK HOGAN!” or “The Undertaker!” The public xxx’s FAKE Wrestling. Our rare “2nd Golden Era” […]
