Do you like because it's fake, like a sitcom, or do you like it for another reason???

I'm being honest...

I just don't see any fun on it...

Well, Marcos... many people have asked me that, and I really don't have a solid, convincing answer. You see, my dad turned me on to wrestling when I was very young. I grew up with the likes of Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Bret Hart, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Legion of Doom, Demolition, Nasty Boys, Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase, Dusty Rhodes, Texas Tornado, Mr. Perfect, Ravishing Rick Rude, Kamala, Sgt. Slaughter, The Rockers, KoKo B. Ware, Big Boss Man, British Bulldog, Earthquake, and I could go on forever with names, but I found it entertaining and fun to watch. There are worse things I could spend my time doing.

Wrestling is more real than people believe. In addition to Dan's post, people have broken many bones, recieved concussions, and careers have been ended in the ring. Bret Hart can no longer wrestle because of a kick he recieved from Bill Goldberg, Steve Austin has had so many broken bones in his neck that if he has one more, he may have to be confined to a wheelchair. Droz can no longer wrestle because of an injury that caused a spinal cord injury that the only way it could be fixed was to fuse 2 vertibre together, and he has no feeling under his chest, except for some in his hand, and he is in a wheelchair. Now, I'm not saying this to say you're wrong, but just because something is staged and for entertainment purposes, does not make it fake. Kurt Angle won gold in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta Georgia for wrestling before he went to the WWE. Shelton Benjamin and Brock Lesnar (current champion) wrestled together at the University of Minnesota, as well as Scott & Rick Stiener wrestling at the University of Michigan. In a Jenna Jameson porno movie, is she having fake sex in an orgy? Maybe not the best example, but all I can think of right now.

As to why I posted this... I know there are other wrestling fans on here and may be fans of Kevin Nash. I was a fan of his from the first run in the WWF as Diesel, and to hear that he may not wrestle again, and for sure not in the WWE is somewhat of a dissappointment.
