It always amuses me how people make a big deal about pro wrestling being
"fake". Of course it's fake, there's not any question about that, but it
does take a fair amount of talent and athletisism to do what they do. The
way I explain it to the "oh my god that is so fake" people is this: I know
that when I watch The Terminator that it's all fake, that Arnold could never
cut his arm open, rip away the flesh and expose a metal endoskeleton, but
that doesn't make it any less entertaining to watch. Real wrestling fans
appreciate things like being able to do a moonsault off the top of a 15 foot
metal cage and land flat on your stomach and not only live through it but
get up and continue performing...
Anyway, I've said too much about wrestling for a DAKOTA list, let's move
this one to the off-topic list before everyone get's tired of deleting Hogan
posts!
BTW I think Hogan should retire. Some of the younger talent makes him look
terrible in the ring.
