And Inspector Callahan said: "Do you feel lucky, punk!-Do you?" It's all in the script. Wrestlers are actors and nothing else, except for one thing-they do their own stunts. I watch those like Jeff Hardy and Rick Van Damn to name a couple, abuse their bodies and risk their lives, over and over, for fame and maybe fortune if they live long enough and I am impressed. I am impressed that anyone can crave the spotlight or wealth that much and I'm ashamed that laws to protect people from their irresponsible selves, have apparently been rescinded or never existed. I cannot enjoy nor laugh at ladder or hardcore matches, even though I am aware that those garbage cans and lids can be dented by a marshmellow or crushed in the grip of some 98 year old grandma. I saw Jeff Hardy's head miss the bottom of one ladder by mere inches when thrown off another ladder. He was inches from death and I believe that it was the grace of God or maybe luck that spared his life, rather than the script and chorography.

No one can accuse these guys and gals of not being in great shape, very agile and tough as nails. We can doubt the sanity of participants in such near mayhem-least wise when they seek our support in becoming our leaders. Their lives are their's to waste, our right of existance is our's.

They are nuts...I notice Flair always has the same bag of tricks...but it works every time, never gets old. The thumb to the eyes is my fave.
