| 520 | |a "Chris Curtis was a 'job man, ' a specially trained worker hired to make a main event wrestler like Jake "the Snake" Roberts or Jerry "the King" Lawler look good. Curtis's ring persona was that of a "heel," (the bad guy) who bent the rules, cheated and did everything he could to defeat his "baby face" (the good guy) opponent. Before he turned pro, Curtis wrestled Victor, a 600-lb black bear, in front of 6,000 people at the Milwaukee Sentinel Sports Show in 1978. He learned to be a job man at the old Federation Hall on Milwaukee's south side and began taping matches for the "All-Star Wrestling" television show less than a year later. About his book, Chris says, "I'm nearly 60 years old, and if I sit too long in one position, the aches and pains remind me of the days when I put the Crusher, Mad Dog Vachon and Hulk Hogan over in front of the fans. People say pro wrestling is faked, but that's not quite true. Yes, its entertainment, and we're telling stories in the ring, but 'fake' isn't really correct. Every wrestler has the capability to seriously injure his opponent. The art of the sport is learning to take dangerous falls in such a way as to render them harmless. One wrong move and you're in a wheelchair for life""-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
