Broxton has been to several wrestling events and enjoys watching them live and on TV. When I saw that The Flintstones were teaming up with WWE, I knew this was going to be a DVD that Broxton was going to love.  Little did I know when I surprised him with the DVD that he already knew about it.  He handed it to me and said "Let's Yabba Dabba Doo this!  Let's watch it now!"  So we did!   I am not sure what I thought it was going to be, but it had the wrestling super stars as just regular people as it started, then they started wrestling.  Of course, the "mastermind" behind it all was Fr...
