People who wonder about the appeal of wrestling in general (as fans or those confused by fans) should read Roland Barthes' "The World of Wrestling", which is the first chapter in his book Mythologies, which is entirely brilliant and easy to read. | ||

They're going into debt and purchasing a huge amount of entertainment brands and companies. The aim is to start their own network soonish. They've come to the conclusion that wrestling doesn't sell anymore. Your post is a couple of years late. | ||

even though i could care less about it now, I still think the art of putting together a performance in which you do all this crazy shit and try not to cripple one another is still really interesting | ||

It's no surprise that some OGN/MBCGame are open WWE fans, when you see how the presentation of the leagues is influenced by pro-wrestling. One of the most direct examples was when they used Edge's entrance music as the pro-league pregame music While this is true, there are some key differences as well. Someone forgot to give Savior that memo.  | ||

Shit was a big part of my childhood, nothing like sneaking up past 9 or 10 in elementary school to watch your favorite wrestlers kick the crap outta each other. Anyone remember the Dudley Boyz? They seem so stupid now but back then their finisher was sick. Ed Hardy too that emo guy, really good entertainer. I miss the dudley boyz too....my favorite tag team partners of all time. DEVON!!!GET THE TABLE!!! I liked wwf before it went PG-13 | ||
