“Wrestling Grandpa”
Season 6, Episode 18
5/1/1999
If you thought Abe Simpson was the only wrestling grandpa, guess again. Before Glamorous Godfrey took to the squared circle on our TV sets, Pretzel-Maker Pickles was contorting wrestlers into… human pretzels. At least, it’s assumed he did because of the name. Either that or being employed by Wetzel’s Pretzels was part of the gimmick.
The Naked Man
Medium: Film

The Prophet

The Intern
