Title: Only in Oklahoma..
Post by: Hoss on July 19, 2010, 08:49:17 AM
This is wacky...

Let me preface this.  For the last two weeks or so, about two blocks north of my house sat an old U-Haul 20 footer or so, with the decals removed and hand spray painted with a logo like "Extreme Wrestling" or some such.  Now, in and of itself, that wasn't 'real' strange, considering where I live (state).

What was strange, however, was as I was coming home from dinner last night, I noticed this same truck, but now the back door to the trailer was open, and I saw some activity in the front yard.  It looked like about five guys were crafting something in the front yard.  It appeared to be....a wrestling ring.

As I drove by it this morning on my way to work, it appeared completed.  A postscript to this:  WWE is at the BOK tonight for Monday raw.  I wonder if this isn't going to be some kind of remote or if these guys were just incredibly into wrestling.

"Throw 'em into the turnbuckles!"

That's not Saurkraut's house is it?  Did the U-Haul have Nebraska tags?

No, I believe this house had a DTV dish.  Kraut may think something like that is a baby wading pool...

I'm curious though.  That ring looks pretty clean and professionally put together.  I'll pay attention tonight around 7pm...

Could it be....LUCHA LIBRE!!!!!

I watched about 20 minutes of Lucha Libre one evening, enough to last me a lifetime, I think.  They make WWF people look like thespians. 

One caveat - if you're tempted to indulge - leave the sound off.  You won't miss a thing.

I saw this on a trip to Rocky Point a few years ago:

I could develop a taste for Lucha Libre, kinda like making comments on the Tulsa World site.  It feels both exciting and kinda creepy.
