What The World Was Watching

It boomed in the late 80's
Men, children, even ladies

Arenas, mechandise, event after event
These athletes were more like super heros that never were spent

Smashing theme songs as they came down the aisle
Sometimes they had a mean face, sometimes a smile

Storylines and scripts that never failed
Was it fake? Or were these guys really tough males?

Shirt ripping, facepaint, flashy costumes, long hair, spandex
Were these athletes? or really thrifty actors mixed with amazing effects?

Whatever it was,
it was fun

It was for all ages
...for everyone

However that innocent style of performing is long gone
but the eighties boom of the WWF still lives on
