Quiz Description

Professional wrestling has long had it's own lingo used by insiders in "the business". This lingo was derived from the carnival days. For the longest time, the general public was ignorant of this insider lingo. Today, thanks to the internet, this lingo is no longer a secret to outsiders. Below, a short bios of famous historical figures. The twist here is that these bios will be in pro wrestling lingo rather than plain English. If you are familiar with this lingo, I hope you get a kick out of this, if you are not, you should be able to get the idea based on context. Name the historical figure(s) that is being described.
