3- Growing up
At some point, we all have to put on our big boy and girl pants and act like an adult. Professional wrestling is a great escape for men and women to escape reality. We watched as children, imitating our heroes, pretending to set up matches in the back yard.
We bought the merchandise and hoped we could be that person. Then, life happened. Many of us still love the notion we could be “that guy” but we also know the difference between fiction and reality. The 15-year-old boy who rooted for the New World Order or DX may now find the gimmick offensive. Adult sensibilities play a role in this.
