I'd kick Geraldo's ass if I could!

Oh the physical aspects of wrestling are definitely real. The bumps, bruises, (some) cuts and actual real injuries I don't dispute. Everything around the basic match is strictly performance. Even the matches themselves are scripted. I'm not necessarily saying that this is a bad thing. I am saying though that some people seem to think that everything surrounding the basic match is real. It's not. Pure and simple. As I pointed out Shane did not buy the WCW. WWFE did. Vince never "left" the WWF to focus on the XFL. This whole WCW/ECW versus WWF thing is a story. Sure there may be some jealousy between wrestlers when the WCW was folded into the WWF. That's not unexpected. I'm sure there is jealousy amongst the lesser lights towards the bigger stars in the WWF prior to the WCW stuff.

Lastly, while I occasionally watch wrestling on TV when I'm bored, I have no interest to see it live. The noise and idiocy of the fans there is not my cup of tea. If I was going to subject myself to that kind of thing I'd blow my money on Leafs tickets instead... (Oh yes, we're hosting Wrestlemania 18 here next year. Joy. Let's just say I won't be attending.)
