I'll tell you what, missing a Saturday morning viewing of the AWA would ruin your whole weekend when I was a kid, though.
There was some similar sounding "vitriol" being spewed there also. Now that I think about it, the similarities were frighteningly similar in some regard. They even had foaming at the mouth minions that would defend to the death their favorites virtue and rightness despite the obvious vice and wrongness.

I mentioned rasslin in another thread recently. When I was a kid, it was a true morality play - almost like the westerns with their white hats and black hats. No question about who the bad guys were and who the good guys were - depending on what town you were in. And there was plenty of posturing in the pre-match festivities. Unlike our current politics however, when the rasslin was over and the crowd was gone, they all had a beer or six together.
It always struck me as funny that they regularly ran an ad for the Local Ballet Company during the matches. Finally figured out that it made sense, because of the intricate choreography that was taking place inside the ropes.
