MORE WRESTLING THAN ANYTHING ELSE

If there are any "regulars" out there, you may wonder why so many more wrestling than anything else entries. Well, that is simply because professional wrestling never stops. I've said before what the WWE has become is truly sports entertainment.  Unlike other television shows and sports, there isn't an off-season in wrestling. Sure, we may get a pre-taped RAW if Christmas lands on a Monday, but we still get something.

With sports entertainment, there is also many other things to talk about then RAW or Smackdown!, even though there are things to talk about there on a weekly basis. There is the past, the present, the future of each superstar and diva (sorry, wrestlers and womens wrestlers), which include things like character direction, who they should face, who they should face again because it was amazing before. There is the direction of the WWE and the rest of the promotions out there. There are countless rumors and incidents to talk about. Countless "what if..." and "should be"s on every level of the business.
This time of year is Wrestlemania season, so there is even more things to talk about. This years event and it's card, how it should be, how things will turn out. Opinions on how things did go down, the next nights RAW. Plus, there is 31 previous Wrestlemania's and the matches they contained or should have.
I don't get this from anything else. Television shows usually only last so long before they are cancelled, or simply decide to end their runs. Television also functions as "seasons", so we only get half a years worth really, and nowadays with the breaks during the season. Movies are similar, except there is usually a 2-3 year gap between films, and that is if there is even a follow-up film. And revamps are highly possible (looking at you Spider-Man). With comic books it all depends on what you read and how publishing schedules work out. Even then, you are likely looking at a monthly wait for the next issue. Plus, now even the comic books are in a near constant revamp and relaunch mode.

With wrestling the worst that really happens are injuries or sudden character changes or firings, but even all of that gives fans something to talk about. So, if anyone was curious as to why the wrestling posts are heavier than anything else, that is why. Or if you don't care, I completely understand haha
