Friday, April 6, 2007 your life," said one fan "Wrestlemania - is a special event where one has to actually pay extra to view it in their home. This means that there are Americans throughout the country that are paying to sit in front of a television to watch big guys pretend to wrestle. I have a great offer to those of you that fall into this category. Next year, when it's time for Wrestlemania, just call me up because I know who wins. Ready? No one. No one wins. You can't win at something that does- n't exist Wrestling is not a sport or a competition; it's the ater in the worse possible form. The wrestlers are the actors and the ring is the stage. The director is non-existent because it's just a bunch of chaos. And don't forget the audience. The audience is cru cial to every wrestling event because they bring signs. What is the deal with all the signs? The actors aren't reading them because they're probably illiterate and the people at home already changed the channel, so put the 7394 signs that you made away. If you are a wrestling fan and I am offending you, I am not sorry, but I would like to offer you help. The next time a wrestling event appears on the tube, do anything else except watch the program, and it will be better for you. Simply pressing the power button and staring at a blank screen will solve all problems. If you still need help, a career in wrestling is a very promising one. Have fun.
