^ Not a bad idea. I think somebody will watch that. If I can be quite bold I seem to get an impression there is some snobbery in the world wrestling fandom of what you know about and what you don't know about let alone actually has seen. Am I right about this? It's kind of supposed to show how the older guys get pushed to the sidelines as the younger fans just get interested in the new ones, and want them to win. Then we see how much passion the old guys still have, and how they impacted wrestling, and support slowly switches to them, and they get the respect back.

Personally, my idea for a wrestling film is that all the wrestlers who have died young or ill were just kayfabe deaths, and they're really all in an old folks home (a lot like Bubba Ho-Tep, so sue me). A young, upstart promotor, discovers this, and tries to make the coup of the wrestling century by bringing back all the "dead" wrestlers to fight his young, crewcutted, steroid wrestlers. The old guys agree to do it, as a last hurrah, but the young promotor decides to have his young guys shoot on them old guys in a tournament, to make the new generation look better. The old guys fight back, and go out on their feet, like true heroes... *Sniff* Damn good idea. You sir, get my applause.

Sounds cool. Maybe never show an actual match but guys coming in and out of the dressing rooms and such.Great idea.

I pretty much really went forth with starting to write my wrestling play because of these feelings I was having about some friends of mine. These are the same friends I go out to the theatre and see obscure indie rock bands with. I've never confronted them on it but perhaps I should. I keep getting this feeling from them that because I've fully admitted to being a wrestling fan that I'm viewed as a stupid person in their eyes. That they interlectually have something over me. You know the "nice guy but a dumb guy" treatment. Maybe some of you have dealt with this before. I fully realized because they are not at all wrestling fans they only ignorantly see it surface-wise. Hopefully all of these friends will read it and see the inner workings of the pro-wrestling circles and all the interesting issues that can come up. So far only a small group of my friends have read the incomplete scriptwork and some said they really liked the characters and the concept. I'll polish up this current one but next I think I want to do something (very) loosely based on the Flair/Hogan professional rivaly or the mega-Powers break-up or the Montreal screwjob. I not sure yet what to do. If you read my first stab at making a theatre play then I thank you very much.
