I’ve been a wrestling fan since I was 5 years old (I’m currently 33.) The reason why a lot of guys are in such bad condition is because Vince McMahon ran an absolutely insane, grueling schedule that was near-impossible for any wrestler to fulfill without taking pain meds. I remember Bret Hart saying he would sometimes be on the road for 28 days a month. A lot of people think wrestlers only wrestle on TV, but no, they also had non-televised events (called “house shows”) 4-5 days a week as well.

Given the way power works, it is hard to imagine that the Burlington comedy club would not face repercussions for having Jimmy Dore- yes?
