Yes im completely agree with you that's why I tried my hardest to not use absolutes.

My answer showed probably also that I had some interests in pro wrestling. It's not exaggerated that it's my biggest hobby.

And just to show off a little bit more I'm active in the wrestling business as a co-promoter and also as a manager! I mean it's just a hobby mostly even costing more then it makes but hey it's a lot of fun.

I'm a little bit skeptical of the modern wrestling I'm more of a 80s' 90s' wrestling guy.

I grew up loving WCW and I still I love it and by gosh this promotion is dead almost 20 years (and yeah they did a lot of goofy stuff too…).

Sorry for the babbling! ;)

> […] Japanese wrestling but only through the Tiger Mask anime[0].[…] This was an interesting contrast because the live action was visibly silly

If you take the WWF (now WWE) as the base yes I can confirm that the silly comment is right. It was their product a more cartoonish-gimmicky style of wrestling. But especially when we look at the Japanese wrestling I would challenge the silly part. Puroresu (Japanese wrestling) had always a more stiffer kind of wrestling and put more weight to it that it looked more like a legitimate competitive sport [1][2].

Also in the USA you had the NWA at that time which always had more the vibe of a real competitive sport with more real characters.

Nice!

I added an issue because the flags of Switzerland and Vatican should be a square.
