RULES

No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.
-
No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

American pro wrestling was actually born in the logging and mining camps, where guys would wrestle to keep busy and every camp would end up with a champion. That’s why some people will say Lincoln was a NWA champion. He wasn’t, but he was part of the camps that turned into regional promotions that eventually joined into the NWA.
From the logging camps, wrestling moves on to travelling circuses where guys like Harley Race got famous with the whole “last 3 minutes in the ring and get $100” type deals. Harley of course would just crush every challenger.
I read NWA as something else other than wrestling, and maybe he would be made into an honorary member of that one too.
