I know this has already been posted before but...

What is everyone's favorite element to wrestling? The in-ring product? The storylines? The drama? What keeps you drawn to wrestling?

I know we all love most aspects of if but I would have to say the drama and story are what keeps me watching the way I do. The non-wrestling stuff is what makes the matches, no matter how good or bad as interesting as they are. I honestly believe that nobody watches just for the wrestling. Because in all actuality just the in-ring product can get boring. Much like MMA or boxing.

I love MMA and boxing and all but the "fakeness" as some refer to it is what imo makes wrestling so great, the storylines are what can keep it from getting boring. MMA and boxing have the characters and rivalries like every other sport. Rampage/Rashad comes to mind as the closest thing in the world of mixed martial arts to a wrestling story line. Which honestly I think some of it may be played up just for a reaction.

I love watching epic matches with great skill involved, but the promos and the storylines keeps me watching. The sole thing that keeps me watching though, is the excitement on a good night, take Undertaker vs HBK at WM 26, that place was rocking, something you don't see much in non storied sports, every time there is a big match you can almost guarantee there to be excitement. Unlike normal sports wrestlers are there to entertain you so you more often than not get a better finished product. It's kinda blury but there is some sort of explanation in there.
