  1. I'll bet the people polled know nothing about the sport of professional wrestling at all!I hate people who condemn Pro Wrestling without knowing a thing about it,and who only spout off biased opinions against the sport that they have picked up from reading columns by sports writers or parent's groups that just don't get it!

    Professional wrestlers are dedicated athletes who put on a great show,and whose only reward for a lifetime of entertaining their fans is usually broken bodies,addiction to painkillers,and retirement on a fixed income.

    Regardless of whether or not the matches are "real"(I hate that term as its applied to pro wrestling),these men and women get hurt,sometimes badly...take Owen Hart for instance,a tremendously talented athlete from Canada.He died in the ring after a fall from the rafters of an arena in Kansas City,Mo.I can't tell you how many wrestlers have died from drug abuse.

    The typical wrestler in the WWE (the premier company in the industry)must wrestle and be on the road more than 300 days per year.There is no union to guarantee these wrestlers are treated fairly.For the thousands of wrestlers who are employed by various small-time "independent" promotions,life is worse.They are often paid little (sometimes not at all),and must work multiple shows a night,whether or not they are injured (since refusing means they can be fired on the spot,and most certainly will not be paid)....

    I could go on and on,but I won't.When it comes to wrestling I tend to rant ;)

    Professional Wrestling is my favorite "sport".


  2. I don't eat out much,and when I do its usually McDonalds or some such place.But my grandma likes to eat out,so once a week I'll take her wherever she wants to go eat,and its usually this little chinese resteraunt near her senior retirement village.Its our day out.She gets a kick out of it,and so do I.I like the food just fine.
