The mornings can be particularly painful for legendary pro wrestler Bob Armstrong, who at 69 continues to climb into the ring to perform several times a week. “Sometimes, I have to crawl out of the bed,” he said. “I got my foot broke in Birmingham and had to cut the toe out of my boot to get it off.

“I wrestled Jerry Lawler with broken ribs. You worked hurt. It wasn’t like these days where wrestlers get contracts. “Back then, if you didn’t wrestle, you didn’t get paid.”
