Large men, play fighting and trying to lay on each other for an alloted time.
Lots and lots of body oil, well toned young men and violence.
Imagine a really, really camp "Gladiator" and you may be approaching the appeal.
"Hello sweets, I'm Maximus..Ooooh that toga is, like, sooooo 87 BC...it's blue now honey, that's what the slave-about-town is wearing these days."
Large dominating males, chest thumping and flying about.
Different strokes for different folks.
Now how can that be a bad thing?
It combies the drama of soaps, the suspense of a football final and has great action to back it up. Everyone knows that the WWF isn't 'real' but it can be as real as you want it to be... The Rock is more real than Super Mario... Stone Cold is more real than Snake Solid. They are people providing excellent entertainment for the millions....
...AND MILLIONS OF ROCK'S FANS!!!
IF YA SMEEEEEEEEELALALALALA WHAT THE ROCK...
IS COOKIN'!
Wrestling is great, ask a random person.. I don't know... say, ask Ant!
Game ^_^
For example
DROZ
He was in a match with D'lo Brown. D'lo botched a powerbomb and broke Droz neck. Droz is now paralysed.
In the same way people like boxing. In the same way people like Videogames. Wrestling has something special... it's really, to put it bluntly, exciting. You may say "Oh, they're just a load of gay men in tights" But that isn't the case...
When was the last time you saw a boxer jump from 16 foot in the air to elbow drop or even punch someone... NEVER... a footballer? You ever seen Edgar Davids run half the length of the pitch swing from the crossbar and Tornado DDT the keeper? No! Wrestling is great... there are heels and faces (good guy and bad guys) just like in videogaming, there are highs and low just like in the videogaming industry.
Wrestling is Fake. We know that, but so are videogames and you must like videogames or you wouldn't really be here... videogames are just as wierd... there are even WWF games like Smackdown 2 and No Mercy, with the X-Box's Raw is War on the way. Don't tell me you haven't played them!?
Wrestling is very popular... the only reasons people like it is becauyse it's entertaining, funny, interesting, dramatic, exciting... just like a great videogame might appeal to gamers, wrestling appeals to others.
I love wrestling, so does Ant, Cheese and a few others... you might like Spanish picnics, Hey!? I don't know... wrestling is just sports entertainment, AND I LOVE IT!
It's Fun!
The Game
Why do birds sing so gay?
You tell me.
