Ah, yes, professional wrestling, the world's last true sport. Unlike baseball, basketball, and other children's games, the important thing in wrestling really isn't who wins or loses - it's how much fun you have.
Professional wrestling has never gone on strike. Wrestling promoters have never locked out the wrestlers. Wrestling as an industry has always put the fans first, and the "almighty" dollar second.
Professional wrestling is tough. While other so-called "athletes" will retire for something like blurred visions or multiple concussions, wrestlers will fight on through these and other injuries. Why? Because they don't want to disappoint their fans. Of course the non-guaranteed contracts are also a factor...
Wrestling has no offseason. Even baseball players will ordinarily play only 5 or 6 days out of a week, and play three straight games in one city. The WWF recently went on a tour that started in Vancouver, BC, on a Sunday, and wrestled every night in a different ciy until arriving in San Francisco on Saturday. 7 days, 7 cities. And you thought you were busy.

The Pacific Northwest has long been a hotbed of wrestling talent. Legends like Roddy Piper, Curt Hennig, and Matt Borne (the original Doink the Clown) all got their start in the Portland area. After being tied in the ropes of beaureaucratic red tape, NW wrestling is experiencing a solid revival. Here's a sampling of links. I hope to have more soon.
