A whole lot can be said about this sort of "rigging" thing going on in the sports industry. The primary suspect in all of this is the media...they have the money, they have the sponsors in their greedy little pockets, and they pull a LOT of strings. They tell the competitions administrators what to do if they want to have their competition. I've been very involved in snowboarding competition for the past ten years. I judged national level snowboarding competitions that were aired on TV and worked with Don Bostik, who basically runs "X-Games". I saw how ESPN handled the athletes behind the scenes firsthand. I didn't at all like what I saw. It very sad and disappointing how the media uses everyone from the poor cannon fodder athlete sleeping out of the back of his car right on up to the guys who run the show. Ever wonder why the top guys in sports have faces that are so appealing on camera? Lots of ugly guys out there going a lot faster but they don't make for a good show. And there is attitude. Gotta have a good mix of hot and spicy with cool and mild. Yep, the good guys always win, and for good reasons, at least in the eyes of those men behind the cameras. It's all about the show. But all in all who really gives a s___t? We're the ones watching it all, we're the ones paying their bills when we support them. And why not? Any of those guys are so much better than we'll ever be. I just get excitied watching every single one of them tip into their turns and roll on the power. So I don't put too much stock in who wins what really. I'm just darned glad someone will foot the bill. If it sounds like I'm talkin out both sides of my mouth, well...I am. As the Wizard of Oz said "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!" Just enjoy the illusion! Just my two cents worth. |

That's why I like wrestling so much! It's fast action, short time periods, and someone's getting their "ass" kicked! Two people enter the circle and only one leaves the victor and it doen't matter how good you might have looked BEFORE you started the match! :lol: |
