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!
