In my last post I mentioned my old track coach and his disdain for "hippies." Whenever he told any of us that we were starting to look like a hippie because our hair was getting too long, we knew it wasn't meant as a compliment. When I actually studied about the Vietnam War in high school and college, it gave me a better understanding of where my coach was coming from. The funny thing is, whenever I see a guy with long hair now, the word "hippie" pops into my head. I have to admit that in wrestling, I always like to see the clean cut jock beating up on the long haired dude. That's why I like these bodyslam photos. So, what do you do whenever you bodyslam a hippie? You look down at him with a sneer and tell him to go get a haircut.
In my heart, I always side with the hippies. But I still love to see them get manhandled! (The jobber conundrum.) Hippies provided wrestling the hair handle, and for that I shall forever be grateful.
