entertainment wise maybe, wrestling wise, hell no. You must one of those people who actually think CM Punk is the best wrestler in the world, lol.

whilst I personally may not think Punk is the best wrestler in the world, given the horrendously condescending tone, please inform us all as to who is

Professional wrestling always has been and always will be sports-ENTERTAINMENT. The athleticism seen in the ring is only half of what makes the business as unique and successful as it has become. Take a look at the last major boom period in the industry beginning about 1997. It was during that time that some of the most memorable moments came to fruition. Skits like D-Generation X dressing up like the Nation of Domination and the Corporation or using a tank to invade WCW headquarters amidst the Monday night ratings wars were segments that will undoubtedly live in our minds for eternity. Where would the Austin/McMahon feud have gone if it relied simply on in-ring action? The answer is not very far. It was the back and forth promos between those two rivals that made for months worth of great television. Do you think that The Rock would be making movies in Hollywood if he were never allowed to cut promos and show the audience his quick wit and unique sense of humor? If a show like “The Sopranos” were to only have nonsensical violence without any storyline, it never would have made it past a first season. If “ER” were only about tales from the operating room and never dwelled on the lives of it’s physicians, they probably never would have won an award. |
