If you wanna watch MMA, go and watch MMA. If you wanna watch boxing, go and watch boxing. To me, wrestling is sports entertainment, it's a mix of athlethicism with storytelling. That's why I love it. Personally, I'm kind of bored if there's no action and drama and this and that. That's why I love the WWE style of the bullshit and the fuckery and the drama and the promos, like [[JustHereForGodzilla that is what I'm drawn to]]. So, I think [[ProWrestlingIsReal if you're watching wrestling because you want it to be real]], [[MisaimedFandom you're watching the wrong thing]]. It's what everyone says, you know, you watch a movie because [[WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief you suspend disbelief]] that, you know, this could be reality, it's the same for wrestling, but, I don't know, a backflip is a backflip, if you can fake that, let me know 'cause I can't do that shit."''

->"Wrestling is not a love story, it's a Fairy Tale for masochists. A comedy for people who criticize punchlines. A fantasy most can't understand, a spectacle no one can deny. Lines are blurred. Heroes are villains. Budgets are cut. Business is business.\\
But it can also be a land where [[Wrestling/TheUndertaker Dead men walk.]] Where [[Wrestling/RingOfHonor Honor]] makes you [[Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling Elite.]] Where [[Wrestling/{{Kane}} Demons run for office.]] And [[Wrestling/TheRock Rock bottom]] is a reason to rejoice. [[Wrestling/RicFlair WOOOOO!]] It's an escape. A reason to point the blame at anyone but yourself for 2-3 hours. An excuse to be a kid again, and nothing matters except the moment we are in. Wrestling is not a love story, it's much more. It's hope.\\
And in a world surrounded in hate, greed and violence, a world where closure may never come. We all know a place that has hot and cold hope on tap. For better or for worse."
