Everyone has that one television show, song, or hobby that they just can’t get enough of. It’s often hard to explain to friends and family members that you can’t leave the house on a certain night for fear that you will miss something important . Or even worse, you need to listen to the same song every single time it comes on the radio much to the dismay of the other passengers in the car who are ready to rip out the stereo—or maybe their eardrums. Life would be inadequate if we didn't have something to be passionate about and rely on to bring at least a little happiness after a long day.
For myself, sports-entertainment seems to be my guiltiest pleasure and it has been for the past 8 years. Whenever I let that little secret out I am generally bombarded with the same kinds of responses over and over again. "Yeah, right" followed by "you're a girl" and "aren't you a little old for that?" are the most frequent comments I receive. However, the funniest and yet most popular reaction I get is the "don't you know that stuff is fake" response. After being such a die-hard fan for nearly a decade I'm pretty sure I know and fully understand what's behind sports-entertainment and how the industry works. What I don't quite understand is how something that so many people around the world love can still garner such a lack of respect.
There is a lot of information regarding my guilty pleasure that the majority of people (those who aren't fans of course) don't know or don't care to know and that is what I believe has lead to most of the negativity. Over the next several weeks I hope to shed a light on the subject of sports-entertainment for all of those people who are in the dark when it comes to the phenomenon of professional wrestling.
