If you read kennysia.com, you’d probably know by now that I’m a big wrestling fan. I’ve been watching WWE (then-WWF) since Primary 5 when Bret Hart Vs Shawn Michaels was the biggest match ever took place and although I stopped watching now due to lack of Astro, I still follow wrestling news online.

Sometime around Form 3, I discovered the internet. I joined wrestling chatrooms and generally mingle with people who shared the same interests with me. Around this time, someone spreaded words about how wrestling is fake and all the moves and how storylines were scripted. I was upset and determined to prove them wrong. So I searched around the Internet and everywhere people are telling me that wrestling is indeed fake. It was all a ’show’ where two wrestlers act like they hated each other in the ring, but backstage they were really good friends who share the same car, same plane, same wife, etc. (kidding about the wife part)

I felt cheated. Why do they want to create fake storylines and act like they hated each other?

Mick Foley, the wrestler best known as Mankind, went on TV and admitted that wrestling is fake. Wrestling is called sports entertainment. Sports, because the wrestlers need to be physically fit to be able to compete in it. Entertainment, because when if the show isn’t entertaining no one is going to watch it.

Yes, everything in wrestling is exaggerated where a punch usually miss the target by a mile. But the moves are real, the injuries are real, and sometimes the emotions are real. The events, the emotions that they portray do happen in real life, but the WWE turn it up a few notches and then it becomes entertainment.

There are many who came out and laughed saying wrestling is ‘fake’.

But hey, so are movies. Even movies that claimed they are ‘based on true stories’ are still the reality turned up a few notches. Yet people still pay money and watch them. Why?

People watch movies because they walk into the cinema with the mentality that goes “Hey I know these things are fake. But what if its real? Shit, if its real then its gonna be so cool!” These are the people that walked out of the cinemas more entertained than the ones who said “I know its fake lah! See how come the car exploded for no reason! Aiya boring shit!” These are the kind of selfish people who loves to point out every shortfall in the movie just so they can spoil it for others and they themselves be entertained.

I hope you see the analogy here.

What I’m really trying to say is that the Hustler Diaries is the pro-wrestling equivalent of the blogging community.

Sure his stories may be fake. But what if its real?

Shit, if its real then its gonna be so cool!
