For the past couple of weeks, all my wrestling posts in this blog have been getting the most views lately. It’s usually like that around Wrestlemania time, people will start looking at blogs and google for Wrestlemania information.
Why do I enjoy talking wrestling so much? It’s just my way of trying to get new people into it. My way of trying to get people to respect the wrestling business. That’s why in Facebook, twitter, and this site, you see me talk about wrestling so much. People have criticized the wrestling business so much. There are still people out there that don’t watch wrestling yet they still talk negative about the business. You know the usual attacks people make about the wrestling business: “they are a bunch phonies fake wrestling”, “they’re just guys in undies in the ring”, “wrestling is gay porn”, “wrestlers are a bunch of steroid monkeys”, etc. You know the deal. When people make those attacks, I’ll have no problem telling them that what they say is wrong and you can betcha I will defend the wrestling industry.
These wrestling guys NEED TO BE RESPECTED! I look at wrestling as theatre, that’s what they are. Theatre performers like in Broadway. These guys work very hard, traveling on the road 280 days a year, with no seasons off. These guys don’t have much time for themselves and they’re willing to be away from their families for a long time to perform in front of thousands of fans. That’s why they need to be respected. If people will continue to talk shit about wrestling, then they must watch MTV reality shows or soap operas or something.
I love the wrestling business. I may not like certain storylines or wrestlers but I will always support the wrestling industry 100%. They’re good at what they do, better than anybody. If people hate wrestling, then they have to look at some of the fake stuff they enjoy watching like, “American Idol”, “The Biggest Loser” or “Survivor”, I can’t stand those shows and I know they are very popular. Wrestling is where all the true talent is, in my opinion. The wrestling industry has a lot of guts to do what they do, and I respect them for that.
