Re: [DL] Former Wrestler PC?

[Fred Jandt <fajandt@yahoo.com>]

IIRC a fair amount of "early" pro wrestlers were in
fact bare-knuckle boxers to a large extent. You may
want to throw some points into boxing skills. As far
as perfoming and such. Most of these guys weren't
showman until after the turn of the century. I would
say a high intimidation would be your best bet. Now,
that's going for a more realistic idea. Back in its
beginnings, pro wrestling was much more legit than the
sports entertainment that is today.

That's my two cents on it. The Confederate Badass
himself (i.e. Mr. McGlothlin) will probably have a
much more learn-ed answer for you. ;) I defer to him
on all matters of wrestling history.
