I still remember my dear old grandmother watching wrestling every Friday night broadcast from the South-Side Armory in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Her favorite character was Gorgeous George (photo above) in what historians describe as the Golden Age of Wrestling.
George was flamboyant and charismatic beside being a blond hunk. He delighted audiences fighting such villains as The Sheik of Araby, and The Crusher.
There's still a professional wrestling circuit (WWE) in 2022 with ring characters like Madcap Moss, Seth Freaking Rollins, the Ultimate Warrior, and Sheamus.
Since 2017, with the accension of Trump, the Republican Party has been providing the WWE with tough competition. The GOP has been working diligently to introduce ring worthy characters and currently there's a crowded stable of unstable candidates to feature.
In January wrestling fans across the country will be watching a Battle Royal as Republicans fight over which one will be the new House Speaker.
The competition is being billed as a SmackDown in Crazy Town.
The GOP cast of characters include:
Marjorie Fat Marge Greene, Kevin the Coward, The Bouncer formerly known as Andy Biggs, Steve the Snake Scalise, Grinning Gym Jordan, Mo the Bastard Brooks, Matt the Molester Gaetz, and Crazy Paul Gosar.
Story line in January
Kevin the Coward McCarthy wants to be the Speaker of the House. But there's a problem. There's a growing anarchy among the restless minions of Trump who don't want him to get the position.
In round one of the January match Kevin the Coward McCarthy is hoping to deliver a knockout blow to The Bouncer formerly known as Andy Biggs.
There's a real possibility that the match will go multiple rounds before electing their new leader. That hasn't happened in the House since 1923 according to historians.
As it stands, I apologize to wrestling purists for this comparison, but I couldn't find a better sport - other than boxing which is nowhere near the fun wrestling is!
