XFL: Excitement or Excuse Football is something as American as apple pie. It is thought of as gritty, physical, and all around fun just as most Americans like to be thought of. For decades the NFL has dominated the world of football. However, Vince McMahon, the founder of the WWF, has introduced a new and controversial professional football league called the XFL.

I’ve recently become a huge fan of pro wrestling, if only ironically. The melodramatic promos, the ridiculous moves, the muscular men few Divas that don’t make my penis retract into my body. They’re all reasons why I love pro wrestling… at least, I did for a while… It all started when my friend and I rented WWE 2K14 for the PS3. We were expecting total garbage, but the game was amazing.

What do I say next? What do I say so that we both won’t end up arguing with each other? There’s so much things I want to say to him, but the fact he placed me here he’s probably testing me. Testing me to see if I’m okay with his world, or he could just be punishing me, or he could really be done with me and just leave me here forever until his dead. “That’s nice to hear.” I told him.

Pro-Wrestling I want to discuss how the business of pro wrestling is viewed in today's society, and how wrestling has reached such widespread notoriety. I mean, honestly. Let's face it.
