I hate video games. Probably haven't played one since Asteroids. And we have a playstation, too. My son plays, but I don't see the lure. 

 It's hard to ridicule gaming as a sport when something as dumbfuckingly stupid as pro wrestling makes billions a year. 

I had a friend in high school that would get fighting mad if anyone said pro wrestling was fake. Now this was like 1984 and I lived in the upper Midwest, but still. That dude BELIEVED it. 

In the 80's what's the worst you would have gotten for telling them it was a fake? ... a Hogan leg drop? Superfly Snuka'd off the lunch table?

In the 90's, you got your head grabbed and shoved under some dudes dick, and then you got power-bombed for good measure.

at least in the late 70s early 80s there was actual wrestling technique used by some of the participants along with the theatrics... now... not so much.

They've proven over the years they are good at hauling in dough for themselves.  Just not good at producing championship football for the rest of us.
