I'm a life long wrestling fan, this was just plain fun tonight. People look at WWE and wrestling as low brow entertainment and I will admit, sometimes they do stuff that is beyond stupid... but it's fun. It's time to escape from the world around you and, especially if your there live, a chance to let off a lot of steam from anything going on in your life, be it work or whatever. I know for myself, I work in a customer service call center position and I absolutely love it when wrestling comes to the area and I can go, have a good time and scream my lungs out, be it cheering for the guys I root for or Boo the guys that annoy me. It's just plain fun.
Bob tonight was a great guest host. There may have been a bit to much push for the book, but I understand that was probably the agreement for him to be there, so be it. Like someone else said, he looked like he was having fun, and that's what really matters.
These guys are athletes. Everyone knows the finishes are pre determined... but so are movies. I don't see to many people sitting at home saying...Gosh, how could people go see a movie. Uh...maybe because they want to see how it pans out? And even movies where people KNOW the ending (Titanic), it shatters records and becomes one of the highest grossing movies of all time... and it was close to 3 hours...and everyone knows the ship sinks! (And if you didn't know this...I do appologize for ruining it. lol).
Atleast with wrestling, the "Acting" that's going on is physical, right in front of you, spontanious and unfortunetly, they do get injuries. It's funny to see people look down on wrestlers and wrestling in general, when they wouldn't probably last 5 minutes in the ring with any of these guys, and I don't just mean the main eventers.
Think about this, wrestlers in 2 months have more matches, appearances, and travel then NFL players (The "Manly sport") do for a full season.
Plus, these wrestlers are also heros to a ton of kids and grant a TON of wishes for kids with life threatening diseases.
I'm sorry for this venting, but god it's annoying when right away when people hear wrestling, they have to make some kind of snide comment. If you don't like it, fine, but don't make it out that Bob's tarnishing his image because of being on a show like this. The crowd gave him such an ovation, it would make any game show fan proud.
It was cool to see some posters on here who haven't watched before though tune in and atleast enjoy it for what it was.
