Dan Snyder Fights Jewish Stereotypes By Suing Someone
Back in November 2010, in the wake of the Redskins humiliating 28-59 loss to the Eagles in front of a national audience (to go the analogy route, normal football loss […]
To be honest, I don’t get the appeal of wrestling to adult men. As a child, I watched tons of WWF, my most vivid memory of it being my dad muttering “Why is he watching this faggot shit?” in Greek under his breath every time he walked in the room. I figured it had to be some sort of cultural barrier, because what could be manlier than two really muscular guys beating the crap out of each other?
Fast forward 20 years and, well, I kind of have to agree with my dad. I’m not alleging that watching wrestling means you’re a closet case or anything (well, maybe), just that the appeal of it has been lost to me now that I know it’s fake and can only see it as two sweaty guys putting their junk closer to each others’ faces than I’m comfortable with.
That said, I received a mass email from a friend yesterday titled “That’s the Most Illegal Thing I’ve Seen in the History of Wrestling!” that is the most entertaining thing I’ve watched in weeks. Given the email’s unusual, “Oh, what a lovely tea party“-esque title, I was fearful I’d open it only to get Rickrolled to Lemonparty, but it turned out to be an incredibly amusing pro wrestling video. 99 times out of 100, anything your friends email you turns out to be unfunny crap that only lowers your estimation of them. Go ahead and enjoy this one exception.

I’m going to have to agree with your old man on this one. The only way this would have been worth my time is if it ended in mass suicide.
