I am quite a lot older than JVL. I remember when pro wrestling was small time with overweight large men in front of a few people around the ring who apparently never understood that the soap in the bad guy's waist band would never be found and that the referee played the same role as the Generals did to the Harlem Globetrotters. It was really good opera and entertainment, but poor reality.

No one with any sense believed professional wrestling wasn't 100% scripted. It was obvious. Now we see literally thousands of people screaming at them from the stands. It has not only affected wrestling, but also politics and art. Our grasp of reality is being driven down by all of this.
