DF 178 Report post Posted December 17, 2013 You're offered $500,000 cash (tax free) on the condition that all your wrestling memories are forever erased. The gaps left by erasing those memories would be replaced by memories of other everyday activities so there would be no disconnect. The erasure would be done in a way so it does not affect your memories of any other events or people. All your medals, wrestling-related photos, records, and other memorabilia would be destroyed so you'll have no sources to tangentially remember your wrestling history. Don't try to be a smartazz and try to come up with ways around it to get the $500K and still hold on to your wrestling past. Those are the rules: $500K for complete erasure of all your wrestling memories. You either take it or leave it, there's no negotiating or gaming it. The briefcase with $500K cold hard cash is being offered to you with those conditions. You take it or leave it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaroslav Hasek 1,749 Report post Posted December 17, 2013 what about the character you built by wrestling all those years? the medals and stats and t shirts from tough and cool wrestling camps are all worthless anyway, so i think you got a deal at, like, 20 bucks and a froyo coupon. as long as i maintain the priceless character i forged through years of self sacrifice and hard work.

GoNotQuietly 719 Report post Posted December 17, 2013 No, but I'd pay a hell of a lot to erase the everyday memories wrestling left with my skeletal system 2 fadzaev2 and Joe Williamson reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LemonPie 1,360 Report post Posted December 17, 2013 Easily. I'd just be like everyone else who doesn't care about wrestling. It's pretty much worthless knowledge since it never comes up in conversation. 1 southend reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
denger 205 Report post Posted December 17, 2013 I know you have the money, DF, but I'll only take it if I can keep my memory of your sister after you beat me in the prelims. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RED 23 Report post Posted December 17, 2013 DF - have to hand it to you. Good question! Nonetheless, I wouldn't take it. Fell far short of my goals, but so many wonderful friends and memories! It's all about priorities!! :D :D :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perry 956 Report post Posted December 17, 2013 I don't have that kind of money, but no - I wouldn't give up my memories of this sport. It's what made me who I am today, even if I wasn't the best wrestler out there. That said, I certainly wouldn't hate on anyone for taking it though!

Matburn155 2 Report post Posted December 17, 2013 Nope. I don't care about the medals, posters, etc, but my memories and the lessons I learned are part of who I am. Take that away and I'm a completely different person. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matburn155 2 Report post Posted December 19, 2013 Lol I thought of that movie when I read this thread. What would happen if you started having a "recall" of wrestling. You would just go crazy and start double legging people in the streets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knox 1 Report post Posted December 19, 2013 The erasure would be done in a way so it does not affect your memories of any other events or people. I guess I'd have to not only give up my memories of wrestling, but have a completely different set of closest friends too (unless they also took you up on your offer). I'd wonder how come so many people I knew were wrestlers. woke up this morning with an extra 500,000 in my bank account! have no idea where it came from or why I am on this message board? Hahaha... you beat me to it. Funny topic, DF. Well done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaroslav Hasek 1,749 Report post Posted December 19, 2013 i like the total recall angle. why not just have the memories of busting your butt for 12 years and winning an NCAA championship implanted in your head without actually training or ever winning a match? that would be a solid confidence booster. 2003 NCAA Champion out of Mars: Douglas Quaid... or is it HOUSER??????

I'll help jog your memory. You basically won the most important tournament in wrestling but only a few good wrestlers bothered to show up. It would be the equivalent of winning the soccer world cup if Brazil, Italy, Spain, Germany, etc and most of the South American countries didn't participate.
