Back in the mid to late 80s , when I was a young man and before the days when mobile phones were common , I was for some time a professional armwrestler . The national title in which I was runner up was televised over a period of weeks . Unbeknown to me , the tv company forwarded an entire sack of fan mail to my address , mostly consisting of letters from woman , but one letter from the relatively new WWF with an offer of a years scholarship to a WWF training centre in California to become a wrestler ! My then GF took delivery of the large parcel and burned the lot and left me none the wiser . It only came to light some months later when I received another letter from them asking why I hadn't responded and had the tv company forwarded the offer ?
