Legends Of Wrestling
There was only one thing that really disappointed me at the Gathering of the Juggalos and that was Legends of Wrestling night. It seemed like a great idea and as a kid I grew up watching WWF so I figured I would have fun shooting these old dudes going at it again. Unfortunately the thing started like two hours late and then moved so fucking slowly. I didn’t have a great shot of the ring this year and I really wanted to see Brian Posehn do stand up which I ended up missing all but 5 minutes of. I didn’t even stick it out to see the D-Generation X vs NWO match or the Rowdy Roddy Pipper Vs Terry Funk matches I actually cared about. What I did see was a bunch of old dudes who had no business wrestling get in the ring and push each other around. The only highlight of the night was the ECW reunion match where the guys actually wrestled each other. There was a tense moment when Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka came out because I thought he might die at any second. Fortunately he survived and I eventually gave up.
My photos are pretty boring unless you love wrestling, but you can watch this trailer for the event to psych you up for the pictures. The whole thing sounds pretty exciting until you actually have to watch Bob Backlund and Ken Patera hug each other for 20 min.
