Friday Afternoon Diversion: Pro Wrestlers Predict The Weather

By Chuck Sudo in Arts & Entertainment on Jun 28, 2013 8:00PM

Two of the biggest knocks about Tom Skilling's weather forecasts are the perception they're often wrong and that it takes so long for Skilling to to get to the local forecast, since he starts in Alaska and slowly moves east. (I like to call WGN Evening News at 9 The Tom Skilling Show and Maybe Some News.)

I'd like to see how a pro wrestler like Mark Briscoe would fare face to face with Skilling predicting the weather for a week. Briscoe, at least, seems more common sense.
