Unfortunately, you are right. I never really watched wrestling but I thought they were pretty tough to take those beatings. Then I found it's all choreographed. The razor blades used to come out for the shock of seeing blood. Wrestling and the NFL are allowed to rig a match for the desired outcome and that is what makes it entertainment. I get it. I just don't like it.

It's just another reason I don't watch the NFL games anymore besides the Saints and their opponents. I've got KC/Raiders game on mute in the background now but I only look at it occasionally and hope there's a big play when I watch.

The problem is that I don't respect the game anymore. Professional football has changed so much that I almost don't recognize it. I certainly don't understand the rules that are not enforced by the zebras except at their digression to move the game forward to their preconceived determination of the outcome.

Sorry, if I'm ranting but I'm just so deeply disappointed that it's not a game anymore where men can battle to see who is the winner. It's basically an infomercial. Rant over!
