Wrestling Program

I love to watch wrestling when I was a teenager, I remember watching this program on a black and white television during the early 1970s.  Funny though, I didn’t feel it was violent then, more like an entertainment program especially when the midgets wrestlers came out to compete with each other.  My siblings and I would have a delightful time watching them wrestled and falling on the wrestling mat without feeling any pain or aches.  I guess they are specially made to soften the fall, am I right?
