Despite what is often said, all of us reading this are wrestling fans of some form or another. While I am not positive, it is a safe bet that we are all fairly avid fans, as we have taken the effort to go online to seek out information about wrestling and we discuss it and get all upset and cry like little babies. Why does it have this power over us? I know it is fake, yet I can't help but love it, and get caught up in the drama. I enjoy all sorts of fighting, but there's something about pro wrestling that grabs hold of me. I watch any and all wrestling I can find. I spend an unhealthy amount of money on wrestling. Why? What is it about this "sport"? In an attempt to determine what the true secret begind the appeal of pro wrestlign is, I am going to embark on a journey, the likes of which you have never seen

Over the course of the summer, I plan on watching one wrestling tape every day, and using this knowledge to determine what the true secret behind it's appeal is. Now, I don't think I have ninety wrestling tapes, so this gives me plenty of room to miss days. I will not be watching any of the WWF PPVs or RAWs I've taped in the past year, but stick to tapes of Japanese wrestling, indies, mid 90s WWF, and whatever else I have.

What do I hope to find, exactly? I am not sure. There is something about wrestling that I cannot grasp, but it's an almost magical element. The theatrics might have a lot to do with it, but it only comes from wrestling. Wrestling is one of about 5 things in life that I care about, and honestly don't think I can live without. For example, you all may have noticed that I did not rebeak Judgement Day this evening. My cable was acting funny, so I said "hell with this" and went to play Mega Man Battle Network all night. About half an hour into this, I began feeling really shitty. Both mentally and physically, I felt sluggish and ill. I honestly believe that this is due to missing the PPV. I have felt very odd all week, and see myself behaving differently. I think this is due to missing RAW last week. Wrestling has coem to affect me physically and mentally, and I need to know why. I strive for 100% control of my body, and I need to know what it is about wrestling that makes me feel this way.

Now the fun part. Why should you all care? Because you must feel similar. Why else would you waste your precious time with it if it didn't affect you this way? So this is not going to be some massive tape review. No, this is a journey into the heart of wrestling. This is an examination of myself as a fan of wrestling, and an attempt to discover what it is that attracts me to it. Besides the obvious homo erotic qualities.

This nonsense might all begin tomorrow, depending on when I get up. I am in the process of moving and working, so time is not in abundance. Rest assured, I am dedicated to this, as I fell I must know what the secret behind the appeal of wrestling is, and this is the easiest way to find it. With that in mind, we begin. Tomorrow that is.
