And this, dear readers, is why you roll the dice with your sanity whenever you watch professional “wrestling.” Perhaps the quotation marks are around the wrong word. Maybe they should be around the word professional. Or around both words, as in “professional wrestling.” There hasn’t been any wrestling in professional wrestling since the days when the likes of the late, great Lou Thesz and Bruno Sammartino were in the ring.

What we do have in professional wrestling today is a lot of entertainment, goofy stuff for equally goofy audiences, but I mean that only in a good way. We should thank the World Wrestling Entertainment organization for changing its name from the World Wrestling Federation. The adjustment was only truth in advertising. Now, if we could only get the organization to drop the word “wrestling.”
