Wrestling Tanka - Set Eight

[The Heel's Heel]
Killer Tim Brooks hates
all men equally; watch him
work his dark magic.

Felt loyal to money and
mayhem - in either order.
~~~~~~~
[Russian Nightmare #2]
The most important
thing that Uncle Ivan taught
me: blade in the mouth.

And speak as if through gravel,
to make the children cower.
~~~~~~~
[Dr. Death]
"Stitch me up, doc - I
have a match tonight"; Williams
is a wrestling god.

Tore up Okie towns before
puro cults deified him.
~~~~~~~
[Old School Travel]
Isometric grips
on the steering wheel; big gyms
are for soft pansies.

Pint glass curls and knocking chips
off loud-mouth fan's shoulders help.
~~~~~~~
[Watching the Lights]
I popped my shoulder
back into the socket and
did the job - no choice.

Afterwards, I thought about
getting new fabric for trunks.

[Old School Travel #2]
Johnny Valentine
listened to opera and
so did all the car.

In-ring stiffness - old school like
out-of-ring intolerance.
~~~~~~~
[Hogan]
Without his chest hair
shaved into an H-bomb blast,
Hulk Hogan ain't shit.

Real Americans fessed up -
they were Stone Cold wise-ass drunks.
