When I was a kid, wrestling was not anywhere close to what it was today. As I sat in my mancave and watched the immense theatrics of a WWE "pay per view" streamed to my flatscreen from an Apple TV through the WWE Network, it dawned on me that the days of fat ex-athletes and general lowest common denominator of society are way past us. Between the talent on display, the production value of an event, and the incredible cross-section of American life, it is truly and without question the most intriguing event of the common entertainment landscape.
Is there still shame in being a wrestling fan?
