Pro wrestling

Natty, you look absolutely gorgeous!  Oh my God, I just want to squeeze you so tight and kiss you all over!  You're so beautiful, my precious Darling.  I love you.  It's been a long time since I really got into professional wrestling.  I would say that I had 2 phases of watching the stuff, back around 1986 and again around 1997.  I really liked Andre the Giant, but I wasn't really a big fan of any of them, just the overall entertainment itself.  And I was long gone when NWO made the scene.  Professional wrestling is a definite example of reality TV, where stories happen outside the ring then resolve/peak/multi-peak in the ring.  This is what I call "scripted reality", something you should be aware of since you are in the entertainment business.

I know I talked about scripted realities before, I'm sure I talked about Chris Benoit before, but let's bring him up again.  He was known as the "Canadian Crippler" (probably why people got so excited when you put on that sweatshirt!), and his case was well publicized.  I can't find the True Hollywood Story that I posted before, so I hope this Larry King perspective is accurate, because I haven't seen it yet.  Anyway pro wrestling is like a soap opera for men, and most of the drama is outside the ring.  And since that is their lives 24/7, certainly the drama continues off camera as well.  I don't really know how impaired Chris's judgement was, but I am certain he was living pro wrestling until the day he died.  At least in his mind.  If his brain was damaged then there you go, impaired judgement.  The lesson is that no matter what other people say or do to you, what is important is what you choose to do.  Always have patience, and pray.
