| Show pays pays' a. a l visit to David Canfield Feature Editor THE World Wrestling THE 1 Federation made its semiannual semiannual semiannual semi semi- annual visit to the Salt Palace Nov 1 1 Some people contend that wrestling is fake and that the athletes are just actors playing out the moves that were completely planned in a set pre-set script Maybe so but wrestling seems to be entertaining for forthe forthe forthe the spectators For instance the first match of the night involved a Russian wrestler whose name does not currently come to mind against an American wrestler The Russian Russian Russian Rus Rus- sian wrestler at the beginning of the match asked everyone to rise for the Russian national nation nation- al anthem This caused the entire crowd to immediately side with what was perceived to be the All American wrestler Another wrestler after winning vinning the match atch he was involved in had a few words to say to the younger wrestling wrestling wrestling wres wres- fans In celebration of his victory he gave about a five minute speech regarding the dangers of drugs This again brought a number of negative responses from the stands Some of the fans were acting acting acting ac ac- ac- ac ting as cheerleaders They were chanting many different slogans and yelling to get the rest of the five or six tho thousand sand fans involved One fan commented that the part of coming to the matches wasn't the matches themselves instead it was to scream and get the crowd involved After the 15 minute intermission intermission inter inter- mission which gave people time to get refreshments which no doubt got the fans even more involved there were about five more matches including the main event which matched The Ultimate Warrior against Ra Randy dy Macho Man names This match in particular made me wish there would have been an announcer Throughout the entire evening most fans had to guess what was happening happening happening hap hap- pening in the ring At the end the referee just seemed to stop the match due to the fact the Macho Man had been disqualified for hitting the other wrestlers wrestler's manager The announcer announcer announcer an an- who announced matches as they began and ended only then predictably announced that the title could not change hands on a disqualification You can decide whether or not you want to call professional professional professional wrestling a sport or not Either way it seems to tobe tobe tobe be a very entertaining way to spend an evening |
