Wrestling Quote by Brian Harmon
““Where the hell did they find these guys? He thought bouncers were supposed to look like heavyweight wrestlers. These guys were built more like sumo wrestlers. While they sported massive arms and legs and necks, it was impossible to see any actual muscle tone. They looked less like bouncers than the guys who ate the bouncers.””
