1) Why do you watch wrestling? What is it that keeps you coming back week after week? Or if you think it is horrible, why do you keep watching, or why did you stop?
When I originally started watching back in early 2001, it was because I was angry at the world, and seeing two people pretend to beat each other to a pulp was right up my alley. All the implications, none of the psychological scarring.
2) What do you think of all the recap packages and instant replays? Do they effect you or your viewing at all?
They're redundant. The commentators should fill in the story, and most of the time the packages don't even tell you anything, they just show fast-moving images and chew up time which could go to more important stuff. I'd rather the commentators just get some time to talk about why this match is so important.
3) Same question as above, but about the commentators.
Commentators are a very important part of wrestling to me. They add flavour to the matches, and can help me get into it better than I could if I knew nothing. Good commentators are preferble to bad commentators, though. The team of JBL and Michael Cole, Joey Styles, Josh Mathews and Mike Tenay are what I'd consider good commentators.
4) Why would you choose to watch wrestling over another TV show?
It's usually just because I've been watching it for a while, so I'm well versed in it. Just stopping wouldn't be that rewarding in itself, even if the show offers me nothing to write home about.
5) What do you think about the comparison of Wrestling with soap operas? Do you watch soap operas?
I don't watch soap operas, but I can see where the comparison comes from. I think a better way to describe wrestling would be a combination of acting and stunt work. It's closer to a movie than a soap opera, in my opinion. Let's just hope they get a new director.
