Wow. I can't believe I'm hearing this. What do you call the millions of people who watch soap operas? or entertainment news shows? or for a different matter, pornography? I can't believe those of you who are berating a cross-section of society that happens to like a particular sport. Particularly a sport where a loyal fan such as myself watches for the pure wrestling and not the dramatics. Chris Benoit was a pure wrestler and good at what he did, and unfortunately I won't get to see him wrestle ever again. If you cannot respect a man who was the best in his chosen profession (and in this case, it's wrestling), then I pity you.
If you ask me, UFC or K1 is far more barbaric and damaging to society than wrestling is, as these guys literally kick the ##### out of each other on a weekly basis FAR MORE than wrestling is broadcast. UFC is shown at least four times a weeks on Spike, and is now getting broadcast on both Sportsnet and The Score. In addition, since the inception of the Ultimate Fighter reality series, they've taken a dramatic approach a la the WWE. All of their feuding they build up on TV between the contestants and the coaches are pure evidence of this. So what I don't understand is why wrestling is receiving the flak it gets, yet UFC is getting a bigger reputation now?
Personally I'd rather see a well-choreographed wrestling match that are there to entertain and please the fans, than two testosterone-jacked meatheads looking to kick the crap out of each other for their own personal agendas. But that's just me.
