Last Night Fight

[fredintoon]

Fred, it seems like the Canadians don't realize Stossel was a respected investigative reporter and a household name, not some guy paid to hold a microphone and get hit over the head with a chair. But since he was investigating whether wrestling is fake or not, the real message here is about journalism itself.

Hi xjwmx,
OK, you got me.
I have never heard of John Stossel or of the athlete (or as they call themselves, athuhleets) who slapped him.
But the whole thing was an act on the wrestler's part.
From the gratuitous insults, the fake accent and the staged bad temper to the carefully controlled face slap
the meanwhile carefully not answering the question he was asked.
Didja see the size of that guy and the big bulgy muscles on him?
If he'd really lost his temper his first sucker-punch slap would have rendered Stossel unconscious.

Reminds me of Cassius Clay and Howard Cosell...
