I was flipping through the channels, and I just saw two midgets wrestling on WWF/WWE (or whatever three letter acronym they think is cool now). They'll try anything to keep up the ratings, won't they? And you know this all started out as a joke among the execs, probably. Two dudes were sitting in the office, and one guy goes, " Hey, Bill, don't you think it'd be awesome to see two midgets wrestling?" Then Bill says, "Hell yeah! Great idea, Ted! Welp, we've fulfilled our 'idea' quota for the month, let's throw a kegger!" You know, I used to be a huge fan of WWF wrestling, growing up, and it's a bit sad to see how far it's fallen. It used to be good, innocent fun; just something you could watch with your junior high friends. I remember Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior were such badasses. Once in a while, I'll tune in to the show, and now it's like a soap opera... but with wrestling. They try to throw in all these scandals and gimmicks to try and make the show interesting. I suppose, they're just trying to make their money... can't blame them for that. It just seems a little sad that the show seems to have grown more... "skanky" with time. One thing that trips me out is how they've managed to keep all the wrestlers from the old days in business. I don't really have a problem with that, it's cool to see all the great wrestlers from my childhood still going at it. I have to say, though, that some of them have gotten really... wrinkly. LOL. Well, all of them could easily kick MY ass. Anyways.. until tomorrow! |
