			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I watched the Andre the Giant biography on A&amp;E yesterday.  As a result, I started to wonder about the other wrestlers that were burned into my brain back in the 80s when I was a young and impressionable kid.  Below is what I found over the course of about 1 hour on wikipedia.  I was flabbergasted that Jimmy Snuka was still wrestling.  He was old (for a wrestler) when I watched him 20 years ago.</p>
<p>Lastly, I have become way too knowledgeable about wrestling lingo (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heel_(professional_wrestling)" target="_blank">heel</a>? <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_(professional_wrestling)" target="_blank">face</a>?  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayfabe" target="_blank">kayfabe</a>?).  I need to read some <a href="http://classics.mit.edu/Tzu/artwar.html" target="_blank">Sun Tzu</a> or <a href="http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/core9/phalsall/texts/taote-v3.html" target="_blank">Lao Tzu</a> and get my brain cells back in balance.</p>
