Incidentally one of the only two or three Onion articles I actually found funny was a wrestling-related one, though that was about a shocking face turn.

The Onion does some nice wrestling stuff once in a while. I like the article below, but the BEST was when they had a news report about wrestling FANS being 'fake', and some people here watched it and started ranting against the Onion because they didn't know it was satire. Awesome.
Ted DiBiase Worried About Current Status Of His Million Dollars
BEL, CA—Once known for his extravagant spending and diamond-studded outfits, former professional wrestler "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase has reportedly fallen on hard times, admitting Tuesday that he did not know the exact status of his $1 million fortune. "Well, the economy has been real bad lately, and Virgil has made some terrible investments over the years," said DiBiase, shaking his head and adding that he hadn't slowly counted a stack of bills in the backseat of a limousine in more than a decade. "I also lost track of where my briefcase is, and that had about $5,000 plus a bunch of IOUs in it." DiBiase went on to claim that "everybody has a price," and said he was currently accepting offers to kiss people's feet for $100

That Dibiase one is freakin' on the money...it's great when something can be funny and respectful of the original source material.

i love the fake fans one cause it had the line about how the guy was afraid to speak up because he was afraid he'd be attacked, set on fire, and force to wear a mask and use a speakerbox like Kane.
