A Job for the Chief?


There is some Pro-Wrestling outfit called the Heartland Wrestling Association (HWA) based in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.

Apparently last Monday the HWA had six title bouts broadcast on some US television channel. Match 4 involved “Tracey Smothers w/ "Sugar" Shane Matthews & The Terrorist vs Matt Stryker”, whatever that mumbo-jumbo means.

I imagine it involved a bunch of assorted laughable goons shouting and screaming while pretending to be seriously involved in a wrestling bout. Anyway, cutting a long story short according to a
Website post-match report the following took place:

[A wrestler called] 'The Terrorist' unrolls a Pakistan flag and is about to sing the Pakistani national anthem. He tells the crowd that it's a long song and to not chant USA. "Call Me" by Blondie hits and McGuinness runs into the ring with a chair.
Ummm...well, after that what can you really say?

On second thoughts I suggest we send our Head Chowkidar pronto to Cincinnati where he can display the non-terrorist side of Pakistan and defend our ‘national interest’ by thumping this horrid unpatriotic ‘The Terrorist’ into submission and then by buying a ranch and settling there.

"The Terrorist" in real life is probably an out-of-work plumber from Oklahoma. The "identities" of the wrestlers change with the times. After World War II, they were Nazis. Later, they were Russians, then Iranians, and so on.

I grew up in Pakistan in the 60's and 70's.
