I got to thinking about it one day, Wrestling is like modern-day fights at the Roman Colosseum (with the big exception that the objective is NOT to kill your opponent as it was back then - thankfully). But, I think that people, naturally, like physical competitions. I think that everyone has some degree of competitiveness in them.
I like WWE wrestling. I don't care much for all the talking & show, and the interference and cheating, but I would venture to say that I am probably in a minority crowd, or WWE would not be huge, like it is. I can deal with some of the talk & cheating, but I just think there is too much, & there are so few straight-forward, good matches. But, Mr. McMahon obviously knows what he's doing, because he's definitely making money with wrestling as it is.
Some matches that I would like to see would be Big Show VS Great Kahli or Mark Henry; Cody Rhodes VS Evan Bourne or Kofi Kingston --- The Miz VS Ted Dibiase. When Ted Dibiase, the Million Dollar Man was the guest host, and put for Ted Dibiase to wrestle Randy Orton, was the first time I saw Ted Dibiase wrestle without some amount of cheating. Yes, I could tell that Randy Orton held back some, but even so, Ted Dibiase held his own pretty good. And the Miz is very annoying, but I have seen him wrestle in a pretty even match without cheating, and he did good. I think that Ted Dibiase & the Miz are probably evenly matched & the two of them would make for a really good match. ( But, the Miz does need to learn that the Awesome One is GOD! ) As a matter of fact Ted Dibiase was one of my favorites, before he became the Million Dollar Man.
I think Santino is funny & not a bad wrestler when he's not worrying about being a "clown." And the scene with Triple H & HBK and the office building was funny too. But, I like funny, because I like to laugh.
I am looking forward to the match tonight with John Cena & Randy Orton VS Chris Jericho & Big Show. I think it will be a good match (afterward, who knows). John Cena & Randy Orton are my favorite wrestlers. They are both really good. People are surprised when I say that Randy Orton is one of my favorites. It's because I know a lot of that is show; I don't like it, so I just ignore it. Randy Orton is a good wrestler, which is why I was okay with him winning the title, because I truly believe that in a clean, straight-forward match between Randy Orton & Triple H, that each of them are capable of beating the other. Randy Orton doesn't need the cheating & underhanded attacks to win, that's all just part of the "show" part to build up rivalries & wanting to see people wrestle each other. (I know I'm an odd-ball when it comes to that, in basic training my Drill Seargent got kind of frustrated that he could not ever say anything to make me mad/angry enough to want to fight someone.)
