Famous quotes containing the words wrestling and/or classic:

    There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport. Wrestling is not sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of suffering than a performance of the sorrows of Arnolphe or Andromaque.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    For years, they have all been dying
    Out, the classic buck-and-wing men
    James Dickey (b. 1923)
