00:00 If you're a fan of today's wrestling, there's something from the past you're not gonna see nowadays.
00:06 Some of the more cartoonish and outlandish characters that were quite the norm in the 80s and 90s.
00:12 They were inspired by real-life jobs.
00:15 There was a wrestling barber, a wrestling plumber, a wrestling cop, a tax collector, a repo man.
00:22 While WWE has evolved past those characters, we get a little bit more multi-dimensional presentation
00:29 in terms of where these characters come from and what they do.
00:32 They're not simply confined to what their 9-to-5 job is when they're not wrestling.
00:37 It's an example of the evolution of storytelling in pro wrestling as a televised genre,
00:42 something that has become as dynamic as the moves these wrestling superstars perform in the ring.
00:48 But I would love to know, what are one of those outlandish wrestling characters from the past that you love?
