“Why do you like professional wrestling?” I asked him. His interest in the subject did not match with my personal picture of John Wick. We had been dating for a month or two so I had a handle on some of his quirks. This one still eluded me. Taking him to plays when my brother preformed in the theater seemed natural.

As a sport, professional wrestling never thrilled me. However, as an entertainment form, I can appreciate what's going on. A couple of years ago I realized it would be kind of hypocritical of me to deride professional wrestling for being "fake", and still be into the Harlem Globetrotters. I couldn't give up the Globetrotters, so I gave up hating on wrestling.

He really is my favorite! I also like Edge, The Hardy Brothers, Rey Mysterio, Mick Foley, Evan Bourne, and Bruiser Brody.
