Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, John Cena... These four names alone have inspired more hope, dread, joy, and sadness in the lives of Americans than any politician, movie star, or military man.
Pro wrestling is more than just big, sweaty, men rolling around a mat whilst wearing flamboyant clothing. It's art, It's sport, It's interactive. It's a 40 plus year story of power and struggle, of the weak and the mighty.
Spanning multiple generations, pro wrestling, has given it's often die-hard fans an opportunity to live out their fantasies through the men (and women)that compete in that squared circle. Through every match, every promo, every loss and every victory, the fans feel it all.
Haters may say "Wrestling is fixed, they already know the ending." yeah, so... the same can be said for Twilight and that doesn't stop thousands of people from flocking to the theater. "Yeah, but it's fake." Really... how about you let Kurt Angle German suplex you a few times then say that (if your still able).
Pro wrestling is a vast universe made up of millions of fans who are willing to stop worrying about life for 2 hours a week and just be happy and entertained. And that's the bottom line... cause Benny Mac said so!
You have perfectly summed up how wrestling fans feel. Almost poetic, really...
