Weird wrestling stories, things you
0:33
never knew. This wasn't part of the act.
0:36
There was once a professional wrestler
0:38
who spent nearly two decades hiding a
0:40
disability so profound that even his
0:42
toughest opponents refused to believe
0:44
it. George Wingerof, who won gold at the
0:47
1976 Toronto Parolympics and battled
0:50
legends like Macho Man Randy Savage,
0:52
Sting, and Lu Tess, was legally blind.
0:55
His secret was so unbelievable that
0:57
wrestlers would stop mid-match to argue
0:59
with referees. Some dropping to their
1:01
knees and shouting to the crowd that it
1:03
had to be a lie. But a lie it wasn't.
1:07
This is the extraordinary story of how
1:10
one man's greatest limitation became his
1:12
ultimate strength in the unforgiving
1:14
world of professional wrestling.
