why did he eat this 

#the hip pop… the cigarettes in the hat…#how many kids from pre-electric refrigeration look suspiciously like this guy I wonder…#POV: You are a bored housewife whose husband is constantly away on business trips and barely looks at you when he gets home#and this guy is rolling up to your house on like a weekly basis with a block of ice and his WWI thousand yard stare

Historian finishing a dissertation on the ice industry here. For once, I am not here to take away your joy! 

“Oh no, the ice man is too sexy and he’s going to fuck my wife while I’m not home” was a legit moral panic for DECADES. So much so that if you were fancy, you could get an icebox built into your wall so the dirty, sexy ice man didn’t have to come inside your house with your delicate, impressionable wife.

“There’s no options for me right now. None of the bigger promotions want me. Not ROH or TNA or Lucha Underground or WWE. How long until it just becomes masturbatory to keep wrestling? It’s time to grow up. I don’t want to be the sad old dude who has nothing else.” -2015, retirement reddit ama
