Pro Wrestling is Awesome


Awesome, a word I frequent.

But it’s so appropriate.

THIS IS AWESOME!

Best chant ever.

Wrestling gives my depression the Sweet Chin Music.

My happiness soars higher than Rey Mysterio

The presentation bleeds uniqueness.

A TV show, about a wrestling show.

I suspend my disbelief.

Fall in love with the magic.

While scripted, it can be organic.

Incorporating realism connects you to the characters.

So many moving parts.

Promos, Backstage brawls, entrances and matches.

Pre-determined, but treated as sport.

When my favorites lose, I lose.

When they I win, I win.

 I research the business, see how rough it can be.

People scream fake!

Taking bumps or steel chair shots aren’t.

They have no offseason.

The road is their life.

Yet they show up, perform for the masses.

They’re the realist show out there.

Feuds are settled in the Squared Circle.

Stories are told.

Tears are shed.

Can’t wait to do it all again.
