Wow never seen this. Thx @mattfarmer93. My dad & grandad’s wrestling license applications. A wrestler’s life was like a circus - we moved from state to state every year or so. Back when pro wrestling was a wild (and often violent) subculture of entertainment. #MyCrazyChildhood https://t.co/TJupSUGn1u
