why am I not surpsised that Roxxi started this crap? What are they supposed to be called? ATHELETES? Because thats only PART of what they are.
Kaedon, I don't expect you to know this, but there's this thing called "kayfabe." No, really! It's pronounced kay, as in the letter K, then fabe, as in the first half of the word "fable." Now see, "kayfabe" means the world on screen that we are shown, but is not actually real. Well, it's tricky to describe. The wrestlers are real. Their personalities are not. Now, the wrestlers, who are real, use their personalities, which are not real, to get into arguments and fights that, though they are real, they are not real in the sense that they are not actually occuring for the reasons given by the wrestlers, who are real, when they talk to us when using their personalities that are
not real. Really!
Think of it as watching a play, except with less gayness. Well, men in underwear trying to pin each other... less verbal and scenario gayness.
Now you see, when you call one of the superstars a wrestler, it supports "kayfabe." However, if you call a wrestler an entertainer, you are calling him something that, though real, it is not real in the sense that it is not really what the wrestler is trying to do when he goes out and wrestles, but really does not wrestle. Therefore, calling a wrestler an "entertainer" BREAKS "kayfabe", resulting in a lesser viewing enjoyment ratio on the part of those of us who tune in to see real wrestlers really wrestle but not in the sense that the wrestling is not real.
Understand? No? Ok, short version:
