I went to a wrestling show last night, and I emphasize the word "show." I haven't been to a wrestling card in nearly twenty years and, boy, was it an eye-opener. It lasted four hours, and between the music, videos, interviews, and pyrotechnics, there actually were a few matches. The videos that accompany each wrestler to the ring actually lasted more than some of the matches. A typical match would go something like this: Video on large-screen jumbotron, loud head-banging music, wrestler makes his way to the ring. He jumps into the ring, does some shucking and jiving, grabs the microphone from the ring announcer and gives a nice, gibberish laden diatribe. His opponent is announced next with the same details. The actual match lasts about 5-7 minutes, then the pinfall. Then the wrestlers leave the ring individually, each accompanied with the same music/video that the entered the arena with. While I realize that 'rasslin was always entertainment, at least twenty years ago, there was at least some semblance of an attempt of pretending. Now there is no such attempt. Just pure bs with some athletics thrown in. Where have you gone Bob Backlund, or Don Muraco?
