We need have the deciding argument, a guy who succesfully can't tell the difference between the two. If you want to watch pro wrestling don't watch anything from after the mid-70's because after that it was a lot of entertainment, watch the stuff from the 50's and see real pro wrestling don't say Savage and Steamboat are real pro wrestlers because they were always about the show as much as about the wrestling.
