A 38 year-old novelty song by a one-hit wonder saved my love of professional wrestling. First, a quick background: wrestling has always been the hobby for me. My earliest memory is Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat scaring off Jake “The Snake” Roberts with a “komodo dragon” that I’m pretty sure was a baby alligator with its mouth taped shut. I remember running away and hiding when Andre the Giant ripped Hulk Hogan’s shirt and tore his crucifix off, causing his chest to bleed in the process. I remember sitting on my grandfather’s lap for the War Games where Sid Vicious annihilated Brian Pillman. I can recall dates from my childhood because it will line up with whatever was going on in wrestling at the time - wrestling is woven into the fabric of my life.
