    Back in my day no wrestler wanted to get in the ring with either Chief Jay Strongbow, or George the animal Steel and piss them off. It could not get any more real than their matches.

    "HODL" -Some drunk dude

    For those who don't know, some likely drunk guy made a post about bitcoin some years(?) ago saying he was going to hodl (sic) a bunch of BTC even though it was going down at the time and people were saying sell, sell, sell!! He meant "hold", of course. It's also become a backronym meaning "Hold On for Dear Life".

    The advice isn't just good for investing (when you believe to have an advantageous situation), but can be similarly applied to AP, where there are many ups and downs. Instead of "cashing out" and quitting amidst a down swing, you hold on for dear life and keep chugging along.

    For those who don't follow it, bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have crashed anywhere from 15-50%+ in the last ~24-36 hours.

    Actually, William James Myers, a/k/a George "The Animal" Steele, was a teacher, and both a high school wrestling football coach, who had earned a master's degree in education

    D'Lo Brown was/is a CPA.

    Scott "Raven" Levy is a Mensa Member.

    Wade Barrett is a college educated, marine biologist.

    Glen "Kane" Jacobs graduated with a degree in English literature.

    Xavier Woods has his doctorate in Educational psychology.

    David Otunga earned his law degree from Harvard University Law School.

    So there have been many "smart" wrestlers throughout the WWWF and WWE anthology.

    Raymond "Bobby" Heenan, on the other hand, may have been smart (we'll never truly know), but he had to drop out of grade school to support his family.

    The wrestling profession is considered just as legitimate, and trustworthy as the American Bar Association, right up their with Car Salesmen, and Stockbrokers, and people that run internet web sites.

    Of course I didn't mean to imply that the entertainment value wasn't real.

    As a licensed, practicing attorney, let me thank you for those kind words. Were I a professional wrestler, I would likely take great offense to your lumping me in with car salespersons and lawyers. But, at least you didn’t include insurance executives, clergy and politicians!

    Your comparing apples to oranges. Water is mostly surface area compared to spherical volume.
