Six Degrees of Wrestling (apologies to Kevin Bacon)

***This is from several years ago. There may be more now.

 

You ever have too much time on your hands?  A friend and I did, and may the lord have pity on our souls.  I’m sure that you’ve played the “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” game before.  You know, where you try to link up the film roles of a chain of actors and lead back to the master of the B-movie in six steps or less?  Well, with guys like Rocky and (shudder) Hogan in the movies, we got to thinking…..and that’s where things went to hell.  Maybe the heroin helped…..  Making a list of EVERY sports entertainer that we could think of who had crossed over into TV or movies, we began to track them back to Bacon.  The really freaky part (aside from the fact that we would spend this much time at it) was that in most cases, the closer a wrestler was to Bacon, the higher up they were on the card.  Check it:
