Lmao, reminds me of Freddie Blassie writing in his autobiography about the first few years of him being a professional wrestler. The marquee sign read that there was to be a match between one of the wrestlers and an alligator; however the gator died, and as a consequence, the wrestler got into the pool with the dead gator and pretended he was having the fight of his life moving the gator around.
