    That same guy was one of the people who moved to New Hampshire to try to turn it into a libertarian paradise but then the town they all moved to got overrun with bears.

      Wait? That’s the same dude? A friend of mine was homeless back then and the number fight van pulled up where he and his pals were hanging out, the tactic was generally to feed the homeless a LOT of liquor and egg on a fight. From what he says, this didn’t have the greatest success rate and in this case it went how it most often did, people already knew who they were when they rolled up, they’d drink the booze given to them and then kick the shit out of the crew and rob them. Cause of fucking course that would be the most common scenario.

          If they weren’t so stingey with prize money they’d probably have more people willing to put on a lil show and spilt the cash but I think it was like $500 which you’d probably get robbed for minuted later cause you are drunk and we’re just in a fight and everyone just saw you get $500 cash. A van full of film gear you can turn around pretty fast makes way more sense no matter how you approach it. Literally if they just paid homeless dudes to backyard wrestle they’d have people lining up to volunteer. It would still be pretty dubious but you could do it in a way that the participants are enjoying themselves. I’ve had many who were or are homeless and I can say with confidence that a lot really like wrestling.

          Just remembered a haloween party at an old punks place who had a barn that a lil hay bail wrestling ring got set up and a dude who was on the streets at the time was there and wrestled under the name Hulk Homeless
