Wrestling.......
I really don't have to elaborate. Say what you want about it but in reality it is the last great and commercial avenue for performance art. Think about it. Who can compete? Cirque Du Solei? maybe....except they don't travel as much, cover as much, aren't consecutively ran year round. Even those shows take breaks or change concept (from MJ to the beatles). But I digress......
If you grew up in the 90s then chances are they you've watch some wrestling. That's good........... the 90s was a great, cheesy, over-the-top, and gimmicky time for wrestling. It was when all the greats were making names for themselves (like DX, or THE ROCK) but some of the stuff was just dumb, or silly, or taboo.... Do you remember Big Boss man dragging Big Show's daddy's casket at his funeral? How about an old lady give birth to a baby hand (oh yeah, Mark Henry is the dad), no. Missed that one? How about when DDP stalked the Undertaker's wife? Or when Kane Alledgedly had sex with a dead girl?
How did they get away with this stuff? Oh yeah, Columbine or 9/11 hadn't happened yet. PLENTY of jaw dropping stuff has happened. I stopped watching wrestling around 2001 (right after Stone Cold Steve Austin sold out the WWE for the WCW.....broke my heart) and I missed A TON of ridiculousness, namely......JOHN CENA. Not Super Cena, no........Dr. of Thugonomics John Cena. So if you're bored, or tired, or interested..... I've got some videos for ya.... all themed WWE
BONUS VIDEO!
