1947-66 Exhibits, Gorgeous George 💪
Gorgeous George was a flamboyant professional wrestler in the 1940s and 1950s, famous for his showmanship, elaborate robes, and ability to draw massive crowds by playing the arrogant villain. His over-the-top persona demonstrated how theatrics and self-promotion could be just as important as athletic skill in captivating audiences. A young Muhammad Ali took inspiration from George’s brashness and trash talk, adopting similar tactics of confidence and showmanship that helped make him a global icon.
I hope your Monday was "gorgeous".😂
