In an effort to enlist wider support for this endeavor, he has prepared a list of wrestling monikers for Nebraska's state senators. (Nebraska has a unicameral legislature with a senate but no house of representatives.)
Said Coash, who fundraises via the help of Ted Nugent: "It would be a travesty if new generations of wrestlers the likes of Macho Man Randy Savage, the Ultimate Warrior, Captain Lou Albano and Hulk Hogan never have the opportunity to provide live entertainment to Nebraskans."
Well, everyone has their own special definition of "travesty."

*Professional* wrestling is theater, not good theater, but entertainment.
ReplyDeleteMaybe not for the same reasons, but I too think *pro* wrestling does not belong under the jurisdiction of anyone whose competence is athletics. Freestyle, Greko-Roman, judo, collegiate, etc are wrestling and are athletics. Pro wrestling resembles these real sports only by weak imitation, its theater. Bad Theater!
