I have to agree with that. I'd say a high Fightin: Wrasslin would be the
key. Most of those guys were hookers who just slapped you in holds and hurt
you. Even turn of the century wrestlers were that way. If you aren't
familiar with names like Hakenshmidt or Strangler Lois, think of modern guys
like Benoit, Regal, or Ken Shamrock. The best example, Stu Hart. If you have
seen him train guys then you know what I mean.

Spoiler Space....





























Why doesn't The Ghost have Fightin Wrasslin. Lincoln is in the wrestling
hall of fame.
