Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) was a small wrestling organization based out of Philadelphia. Many wrestlers in the twilight of their careers with ECW including Terry Funk and Bam Bam Bigelow. ECW had a reputation as a very violent promotion where blood was very common to see at matches. Also the talent gave 100% and then some to “get over.” During one match Terry “Sabu” Brunk (not to be confused with Terry Funk) suffered a broken jaw during a match used some tape and taped his jaw and finished the match!
Enter Donald J. Trump. At 69 years old he decided to start his political career. Before that he was a real estate mogul, entrepreneur, author and television personality. He’s suffered business failures, divorces, bankruptcy, election loss, lawsuits, impeachment, and criminal convictions. Many ECW alumni had to travel a very hard road in their careers too. In professional wrestling, there is no union, no healthcare, and no retirement.
On July 13th, President Trump was at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania when a would be assassin was within centimeters of killing him, but instead struck the tip of his left ear. After his security detail surrounded the former (and future) President, he stood up with his face trickling blood raised his fist and said “Fight! Fight! Fight!” He also wanted to put his shoes back on and walk to his SUV!
This reminded me of ECW legend James “The Sandman” Fullington.
More on this incident later.
