Vault of Coolness: C&W=Country and...Wrestling?




I love random or incongruous giveaways and premiums, and this offer(from the same 1971 "Wrestling Revue" I showed a few weekends ago) fits the bill. Take a closer look at option number two.

Buy two years of a rasslin' mag, get a country album. Actually, this seems like a pretty good deal, and I'm not one to complain about the likes of Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline. But especially considering the utter lack of any music-related content in the rest of this issue, I wonder if this offer is more about the assumptions of the publisher than any kind of organic link between C&W and professional wrestling.
