Turn on your TV every Tuesday night and you'll likely find pro wrestling on. Hopefully you're not watching baseball and if you've got some free time on said Tuesday night please take the time and begin watching the WWE. Why? Because pro wrestling is a beautiful display of human fortitude, dedication, and super-human skill.
Many of you probably don't like wrestling because you think its fake and overly dramatic. Well that may be but that's no excuse. Reality TV shows are staged, movies are fake and some people have fake body parts (I for one have a bionic chin). But fake things are good, and so is wrestling. Wrestling provides an outlet for people who love to watch acrobatics, good acting and great story lines.
If many of you are bored with your TV, I suggest you turn on wrestling because you never know what will happen. If you have never watched wrestling, I am challenging you, the well-informed and good-TV-loving reader, to turn on the TV and watch the WWE. Wrestling is just like football: non-stop action that combines super-human athletes with brilliant athletic moves. But for some reason many of you do not like to watch wrestling.
Watching wrestling is like watching thespians destroy each other in a tiny little stage, and what's better than that? Another reason you should watch pro wrestling is the royal rumble. There is nothing better than a good royal rumble: 30 wrestlers duking it out to be crowned the royal rumble champion.
Royal Rumble is on pay-per-view, but what an exciting way to get 10 of your friends together, pick a couple wrestlers, and bet on who wins. Get some chips, a few beers, and sit back and enjoy the carnage. This is what makes America great, being able to watch 30 juiced-out athletes compete against each other for the glory of competition, and no, its not baseball.
Another wonderful aspect of wrestling is the entrance themes. Imagine going anywhere and having music play, fireworks go off, and people go nuts every time you walk into a room. Exciting. And have any of you ever seen a ladder match? Watching a grown man get obliterated by a ladder is exciting TV, and that's impossible to argue.
So let's say I've sold you on pro-wrestling, what now? Now its time to pick a favorite wrestler. Mine is the Heartbreak Kid (HBK), Shawn Michaels, mainly because he's got an amazing entrance song and his signature move is called Sweet Chin Music (get it?). But that's what's great about wrestling. There's a wrestler for everyone. Do you like leprechauns? Then Hornswoggle's the one. Maybe you're a fan of cemeteries? I'd cheer for the Undertaker. And if you enjoy watching a Cuban spit apples, well, Carlito's you're man.
There are even wrestlers for the ladies out there. What better way to make a Tuesday night romantic? Get some drinks, maybe a blanket, and turn on some WWE. Beautiful. Have I not sold you yet? Read on.
Have you ever watched two people, maybe more, fight inside a cage? If not I suggest you watch some WWE. Do you watch Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, or Lost? Well if you want story telling just as good as that you need to turn your TV to the WWE. You will be blown away by how exciting and dramatic it is. Vince McMahan once died in a car bomb! You don't get that on just any TV show. So if you're bored this next Tuesday, please, turn on some wrestling and discover what the good acting and skilled athletes are all about. But don't take my word for it, you can read all about it on Wikipedia.
