Why is Wrestling Still Popular?
By: Jason Cunningham (7-26-2006)
People thought as my generation grew into adulthood,
wrestling would decline into obscurity. It has been just the opposite. While
sales growth in the industry has slowed, the wrestling business is well
established.
Today, kids are aware that wrestling is staged. My generation is
probably the last one that believed wrestling was real. I used to wake up every
Saturday morning to catch a glimpse of Hulk Hogan, The Junk Yard Dog, and "Macho
Man" Randy Savage. In this period of wrestling, it was the good guy versus the
bad guy.
Wrestling storylines are now more sophisticated. A lot wrestlers
are both good or bad. Women are much more involved as valets or wrestlers.
People are not going to turn away from wrestling. It has entertaining wrestlers
who can talk and wrestle, and plenty of beautiful women.
