Tired of mainstream Pro Wrestling? Check out your local Indie pro Wrestling league!

I used to watch mainstream pro wrestling but found it lacking. I'm not here to analyze the "Why's" or "How come's" rather I'm here to say, "CHECK OUT YOUR LOCAL PRO WRESTLING LEAGUES" There's good stuff out there people! For me, PWG is pretty awesome! My favorite guys there are EL GENERICO


and KEVIN STEEN!

The Wonderful Art of the Wrestling Promo!

One of the few things I love as much as a great wrestling match is a great wrestling promo! The True Pro Wrestler creates a mystique about his character that lets you suspend disbelief and accept this world of Ultimate Evil and superheroes. For example:

HULK HOGAN!



ULTIMATE WARRIOR


TED DIBIASE!

THE REALITY OF THE ILLUSION

Why have I been a fan of Pro Wrestling since the 70s? It's the REALITY OF THE ILLUSION. The art (and it IS ART) of creating "Reality" with illusion has always been the draw I've felt from Pro Wrestling. Seeing a perfectly executed finisher that TRULY looks like someone just got his head smashed, but didn't... is pure magic. It's like a great magic trick that fills the viewer with wonder and amazement.
Case in point,

The double moonsault!


the Poisoned Frankensteiner!


Turnbuckle brainbuster!


Crash Thunder Buster!


Rikishi Driver!


Shouten!
