Wrestling is its own special brand of theater. Everyone (save very young children) knows this in 2016; the people asking “you know it’s fake, right?” know less about the product than fans do. Once in a while, wrestling fans will be treated to a match that is such an incredible display of athleticism and storytelling they will ask the competitors to “fight forever”. Obviously, the pre-planned nature of the event and the limits of human stamina prevent this from being a possibility. But it’s a compliment to the athlete-actors in this play: what you are showing to us on these few feet of canvas is positively mesmerizing, and we wish you could continue this for as long as are physically able to watch it.
