RIPP’D A NEW ONE
(An in depth look into the art of pro wrestling)
Do you like dance performances ? Ballet? Stage acting? Action films? Soap Operas? Musical theater? Romance ? Drama? Heros versus bad guys? Comedy ? Exciting stunts and daredevil feats? What if i said you could experience whether it be in a small form or on a large scale every single one of those things inside of a single 3 hour show? Would I spark your interests? Ok not quite convinced? What if I added in sexy and beautiful athletic women and muscular handsome physically awe inspiring men whichever your preference be? How bout now?
Well for over 1250 weeks the longest running episodic television show that never takes a break , never goes off the air for the season, never plays a rerun , never takes a break and always does it live every single week 52 weeks a year non stop since 1993 is not the show that may pop into your head, No it isn't the simpsons, Nope not south park either, No it isn't any other sitcom that seems to always take second place in the ratings , It is none other than the WWE’s Monday Night Raw. The weekly 3 hour wrestling event that airs in prime time on the USA network has been the constant dominate weekly television show in the ratings over a span of three decades, What show comes in second on the list i am referring to? Well with over 900 episodes and a dominating presence in its tuesday night prime time slot the second place trophy goes to WWE Smackdown live,
So with over 4 to 8 million views combine nationwide and three decades of shows striving rather than losing fan base over time how can they possibly be wrong? Well as i stated before when you have drama , action , romance , comedy and amazing actors and actresses though some feel pro wrestling isn't their cup of tea have not looked at it and made an attempt to appreciate it for the artform it truly is. 
With that in mind i have now hopefully sparked your interest and you are now prepped for what this blog is going to be, I will blog about all wrestling both on television and other giving you an in depth view into the show , the details , the backstage perhaps a review rating of the quality of each show/match while giving you the short and long term vision the storyline writers wanting to get across with the way they set up each show to roll into the next and how storylines and wrestlers are used to carry them out as well as how unexpected events like injuries and punishments can change the whole course of the overall storylines making a guy who just traveled around to different areas making $40 a show can be in the right place and right time and face unbelievable life changing events just because he fit an emergency need for a look and or character that said guy or woman fit perfectly to step in and take on.
So as i said i hope i have sparked your interest somehow and get you on board for a roller coaster ride in the form of an artform that has performers require the talent to be what i like to call a one take specialist. There are no time outs no do overs and do overs and no edits later . Be sure to read volume two coming of the Blog
