pro wrestling is fake.
Halperin wrote in his biography that he was threatened to agree to cheat and lose a fight on purpose.
He said, he refused.
But if you say that everything he did in his career was a fake, you will have to explain that it was ketchup that was poring from the brow of the Jordanian Champ, Abu Antar, who Halperin soundly beat.
And you will have to say that he accidentally broke his rib before beating the South African, Lamm Herbert {I am translating from the Hebrew, so the spelling might be wrong}.
And while we're at it we'll add that when he beat the black belt Karate expert, Rizko with a kick that seem to shatter Rizko's knee it was a scam that he set up, with the Japanese hospital.
Or when he clobbered 2 punks on the subway who called him a filthy Jew and intentionally threw down his kipa, it was all a publicity stunt.
Or when he broke blocks of wood and marble stone with karate chops, it was just a cheap magician trick.
I however, prefer to believe, that his efforts to restore the image of Jewish strength after the Holocaust and other countless assaults on Jewish pride were indeed, real.
