Hey Friendos, Steve here.

Hell Arson.

Welcome back to going in Raw, the only pro wrestling podcast

you need to be listening to on today's episode

we've got your steaming hot takes about the world of pro wrestling past present and

even maybe the future of pro wrestling past present and even maybe the future of pro wrestling yeah I don't know I think

past pressure you got to throw the future in there if you say the past and the present I think

that's correct you're obligated yeah yeah this first one I think sort of you know you could consider this

potentially something that you can look to the future too and the past good old

gamer has a hot take says wrestling was better back in the day when it could be sold as

real now that everyone knows it's fake it's little more than a soap opera.

Larson I have a book about professional wrestling that was

written in like the mid 1930s. Yeah I gave that to you. Yes you did. I I don't know, it was one of those. You gave me two, I think.

And then I have also another one. Oh, all right. Yeah, no, this one I found, yeah, no, this is a different one.

But the first paragraph, the first page, it starts out, talking

about the match that happened in the ring and being back in the locker room with the two competitors and them

talking about going town to town putting on the same match. This was a book

published made available to the public, back in the 1930s.

I'm sure there's probably some segment of individuals, I know probably a lot of them are children who had some semblance

of like, you know, belief that this was real

until a certain age or until somebody

smartened him up on the business.
