| 1 | ->'' I honestly have no idea how anyone will know when a pro wrestling gimmick is going to work. Wrestling/TheUndertaker has been a zombie controlled by [[Wrestling/PaulBearer a fat man]] and a magical urn for two decades. They've had sorcerers, chicken men, every version of [[Wrestling/UltimateWarrior the mentally handicapped]] and Franchise/{{RoboCop}}. So when you're a pro wrestling writer coming up with a last-minute replacement, an overweight space barbarian who can control electricity (maybe?) is an absolutely reasonable thing to suggest.'' |

| 4 | ->''I want to ask [[Wrestling/BobbyLashley Bobby "Blaster" Lashley]] whether pro wrestling is fake ... even though a former TC sports writer tells me the question is passe and highly uncool. Nonetheless, I'm curious how Lashley -- competing at the arena tomorrow -- might respond. As an arts writer, I know little about pro wrestling, other than it involves heavily muscled fellows pummelling one another and yelling. Lashley obviously knows a thing or two about the pure sport, being a former U.S. national wrestling champ and reigning Extreme Championship Wrestling champ. On the other hand, I don't want to get slapped around or anything. The Blaster is six-foot-three, weighs 270 lbs. and visits our office bearing his ECW World Champion belt in his gigantic hand. The belt alone weighs as much as a Power Mac G4 computer.'' |

| 7 | ->''There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport. Wrestling is not a sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of Suffering than a performance of the sorrows of [[Creator/{{Moliere}} Arnolphe]] or Andromaque.'' |

| 10 | ->'''Cindy Tynan''': Didin't you read the Jack Pfefer series in the Daily Mirror? That stuff's all fake.\ |
| 11 | '''Harry [=McTell=]''': Of course it's fake. That's what makes it fun. Nobody gets hurt. |
