Because we just can't get enough violence and blood. The American culture is steeped in it, and when we can't get enough of it in reality, we stage it in our entertainment. Our best-selling movies are full of it. We thrill to the news that we've killed another “terrorist.” Our blood lust knows no bounds. Imagine how rich you could get if you could run an old Roman Coliseum in this country.Something odd happened recently in professional wrestling — a real fight broke out. Former professional wrestler John Levi Miller, 23, has sued Clinton Woosley (who performed under the name Guido Andretti) for failing to take a fall as planned and actually kicking him in the groin — causing the loss of a testicle. Woosley was the designated “heel,” or loser in the bout. [Image shows Blue Demon, Jr. wrestles El Hijo Del Santo].
Miller said that Woosely refused to map out or choreograph the bout as is customary — allegedly dismissing Miller’s concerns. Miller said that Woosely then failed to go down as planned as the designated heel and then kicked him in the groin causing the injury. He said Woosely appeared intent on winning.
I must confess that I have never understood professional wrestling and why people love to see men pretend to be hurting each other.
