Notice I said "fake", not fake. Professional wrestling takes an immense amount of skill and training. Every night the wrestlers go out there they literally put their lives on the line.
Professional wrestlers are routinely hurt, crippled and in some cases even killed in the ring.
To say that wrestling is fake... is assinine.
And why do they go out there?
Professional wrestling is the last bastion of a dying artform in our culture. They are epic storytellers. They tell the story of the battle of wills, good vs evil, the unstoppable force versus the immovable object. And as is dissappearing in our modern cynicism, the good guy always wins. And they do it three nights a week, in front of a live audience with little to no rehearsal.
Vince McMahon is Homer, and The Rock is his Odysseus (I have no idea if I spelled that correctly)
Jason, this is why I like wrestling, and why its your loss that you have some deep seeded, irrational dislike of it.
