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.
