Now there's the ugliest forehead I could never forget.
I never ever liked him, just because of that forehead! :lol:
I think that was from all the times he bladed himself to release blood for the bloodthirsty audience.
Some wrestlers keep a matchstick with a tiny 1 mm long sharp blade at the end of it to blade themselves.
It's so silly really. LOL
King Curtis was the number 1 blade man in wrestling.

I would have to be a bleeding dick head to do that to himself - even for just a job.
He probably got a measly pay for his performances too.

Yes - they didn't get as much money as people would think.
Many were often wrestling 7 nights a week to make a living.
Add in 6 months off here and there for terrible injuries and it wasn't a good job at all.
Even Hulk Hogan with all the $millions he made has almost been left as a cripple
after a dozen or more medical operations.
Last I heard he has one arm almost paralysed.
Also - the steroids that most of them took in the last 40 years
has had tragic consequences - many have died young from heart conditions from it.
About 200 well know wrestlers died young.

Yes. A lot of them died middle-age in their 40's from heart complications... ROIDS!

Yes - even ravishing Rick Rude died at only 40.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Rude

Rude was found unconscious by his wife and died on the morning of April 20, 1999,
at the age of 40 when he suffered from heart failure.
An autopsy report showed he died from an overdose of "mixed medications".[37]
At the time of his death, Rude was in training for a return to the ring.[34]
The effects of gamma-hydroxybutyrate, a narcolepsy prevention drug, may have contributed to his death.

They were all loaded! Roids to keep them in the Ring and the Recreationals from all the money they blew up their noses.
It was the high life of fame and fortune.

Hogan is amazing. He's still got it.
You slow down, you go down as Willie Nelson said and it's true.
