Damn, Carl, I don't think I've ever read a better rant from you anywhere! I've been out of the wrestling fandom for quite some time, and I was never very big into it beyond watching the occasional PPV DVD from the WWE (so many acronyms...) and picking up one of the Smackdown games, but I feel like that makes me and others like me the perfect reader for an article like this.

I love seeing your enthusiasm for all the different promotions that come through your area. Seeing one of your "off Facebook so I can enjoy this event" posts always makes me smile. I daresay you enjoy wrestling more than video games.

It's fascinating how many people don't understand that with direct access comes increased responsibility, and that one's voice only carries so far. You boost your favorite star, event, or promotion exponentially further just by purchasing a ticket or grabbing some merchandise. Money, as always, talks louder. It has to. That's the nature of the biz, after all.

Excellent, excellent, excellent read, my man. Keep up the great work. @helpiecake, @slobberchops, and @curangel, if you're around, I think this one's worthy of some more love. :)
