Both have good and bad qualities if they were put out there alone...

Wrestling Good: Those of us who really look out for the great strength, speed, and acrobatics of these guys get a field day if there were a show out there with only pure wrestling. Also, without the time wasted on ten or twenty minute promos telling you the story of how HHH and HBK don't like each other, we can see great matches between the underestimated performers that are held down to the midcard. It'd seem more like a real sport than a tv show that impersonates a sport. And of course, that would lead to more marks out there memorizing wrestler stats etc., which I think could be considered a bonus to the company.

Wrestling Bad: Without story lines we never get to see the great feuds. There's never a buildup to a huge PPV matchup between two guys who you've been itching to get together. Instead, we get random matchups each night which could get to be pretty stale after a while. And with all of these wrestlers working night after night in 20 minute long matches or longer, there's bound to be more injuries. And one might be tempted to think that there wouldn't be any difference between any of the names out there without any gimmicks, but I don't think that would be true, considering I'm a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, and they're no different from any other baseball team...just a hometown thing is all. So that one kinda goes under the neutral category.

Sports entertainment Good: This is what made wrestling what it is today. It's what made wrestling what it was in 2000 at its peak. There comedy, drama, horror, and everything else to entertain us. It throws a bit of variety in there to make us want to see what happens week in and week out.

Sports entertainment Bad: Goldberg...nuff said. There comes a point where you get a guy who is so hyped up because he's big and has a nasty spear that the fans can't choke any more of that crap down. How many times do we have to see someone urinating some greenish substance on somebody else's leg? Pure crap.
