Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Craig Rosenblatt; above left; and Perry Argiropoulos; both 12; brought along home-made posters to cheer on their favorite wrestler; Hulk Hogan; as did 10-year-old Michael Keels; left. Craig said the excitement of wrestling is what he likes. It's fun watching people get beat up; even if I don't think it's all so real. Perry says he likes watching wrestling on TV and renting wrestling videos. Baseball and hockey are too boring.
