Wrestling isn't supposed to be taken seriously, the only wrestling you can watch with some real appreciation of pain (I think anyway) are those matches they used to do in Japan. There was a great one between terry funk and mick foley, it was a barbed wire match where all the ropes were barbed wire and several weapons were covered in it. Terry Funk thought it would be a good idea to use small explosives under the bits of wood but littered so that they was no way to avoid the flame, they both got third degree burns. I won't spoil the end if any of you watch it but it gets a bit shocking what they go through to entertain. I digress.
Wrestling is like a theatre that runs with constant story lines. When I was a kid my Dad was in the army and where the schools, friends and places all changed as we moved around, 3 things stayed the same for me. Nintendo, WWF (now WWE because of hippies) marvel comics. The only guaranteed time my Dad would spend with me was Summerslam, Wrestlemania and the mighty Royal Rumble. I'm not sure if he shouted along with me to entertain me or whether he actually enjoyed it now though!
I do think these constant PPV's are too much and the wrestling has gone done a bit now. I remember when Shawn Michaels and Hulk Hogan were deemed as big muscles of the WWF, compare them to the new age muscle and they look small. It sounds stupid but when the muscles weren't steroid ridden and all the women felt it necessary to have boob jobs the fakeness was bearable. Or maybe it's because I'm older , maybe it's both. I can't watch it now though.
I have fond memories of WWf, I was surprised to hear that the Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and a few others were still going, surely the Undertaker is getting a bit slow and old now. And I've heard he's taken up a oldish boxing style, what the ***!?
