In this inaugural episode of Season 5 we finally feature weird stories from one of Barry’s all time favorite sources of entertainment: professional wrestling. We talk about how a carnival side show attraction grew into the multi-million-dollar sports entertainment spectacle we know it as today. And since we specialize in bizarre stories, we tell about the strange tale of one professional wrestler who lived on the lam for years after writing bad checks, to being mistaken for a victim of the Jonestown massacre, to finally being caught after being arrested for attempted murder. It’s a twisted tale centered around an industry that we put firmly into the Some Weird file.
