Vince McMahon could be interesting in signing up a few of these lads…

Wrestling was at its peak back in the late ’90s with the Attitude Era of The Rock, Stone Cold, Triple H and D-Generation X enthralling kids (and adults) all over the world including right here in Ireland.

The “Don’t Try This At Home” warning at the start and end of the TV shows were blatantly ignored so our younger brothers and cousins were on the receiving end of a few finishing moves until they got too old because then it was just weird.

The players with the West Virginia Mountaineers football team relived their youthful days in the team’s dressing room by recreating a WWE match and it’s pretty great.

There’s weapons, submission moves, high-flying action and a lot of bad language so turn the volume down a bit and press play…
