Re: Wrestling = art

I agree to a point about the acting - but it goes past that. To do what we do safely and to put it all together, that's art. There isn't anyone involved in the business at any level who will claim it's a pure sport. Saving Private Ryan didn't claim to be a live action documentary, but while watching it we suspend our disbelief and that is how wrestling (again, when done properly) should be viewed.

Like in the clip above, I know of very few people who can get their timing that spot-on. They are artists too.
