Why I love pro-wrestling, and why I think every fan should too

The time I ‘marked out’ more than ever was at Survivor Series last year. Not only was Dolph Ziggler the sole survivor, but Sting finally debuted in a WWE ring. It was a moment for the ages, bigger than anything I had ever lived through. Sure, I might’ve been happier when Seth Rollins cashed in at WrestleMania 31, but this was a much bigger spectacle.

This moment ranks above all for me

Of course, wrestling wouldn’t be wrestling without the actual wrestling, and I truly believe that this generation of wrestling fans are lucky in this aspect. The in-ring beauty is better than ever in my opinion, not just in WWE, but the independent circuit is larger than ever. And of course, there is NXT. Classics include The Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels, PAC vs Prince Devitt, CM Punk vs John Cena, Daniel Bryan vs John Cena, CM Punk vs Daniel Bryan, Cesaro vs Sami Zayn, Chris Jericho vs CM Punk, and many, many more. For a technical and high-flying fan like me, it makes for some highly entertaining classics.

The match that took the world by storm

For the most part, I’ve covered the first part of the headline, but what about the second part?

Well, wrestling fans, in all honesty, aren’t always happy. This could be because they simply want the Attitude Era to ‘return’, aren’t content with the talent being used, and numerous other reasons. Some say that WWE has too many childish angles, but to me, those just add to the fun. of course there will always be serious feuds, but some comedic ones are fun additions.

I believe that the best way to enjoy wrestling is to just allow anything to happen. By this I mean leave the booking to the bookers and don’t try to make everything the way you want it. I’m not saying you can’t want things to happen, but the way some fans react when things don’t go their way is, in my opinion, disgraceful. Sure, I have outcomes that Iwant too, but I’m open to anything. I wanted Roman Reigns to win at Money In The Bank, but I was really happy when Bray Wyatt interrupted as well. But there were a lot of people that were unhappy that Sheamus won, without even knowing what would happen next. That’s why I said the booking should be left to the bookers, and the fans should just have one role: enjoy themselves.

Many people were unhappy about this

Wrestling seems to be heading in the right direction. With NXT there appears to be a certain roster of amazing talent in the WWE, and with the independent circuit growing even more, there will certainly be more choice.

Wrestling is an art. And it always will be. It’s more of an aquired taste, but I for one, love wrestling. And I hope everyone else who does, enjoyed reading this.
