Originally posted by Kotaku Truly, professional wrestling is a gymnastic redneck anime soap opera, and it’s beautiful. What’s not so captivating is how the parasocial relationships between wrestlers and their fans have given rise to unhealthy tribalism.
Back in the Monday Night War Era, I definitely experienced this sort of tribalism as did most of the fans of my generation. The competition was the closest thing wrestling had to being a legitimate team sport. Now I just try to appreciate all the different interpretations of wrestling each company brings to the table. Hindsight has shown me that competition is important for the business, and therefore I now root for Wrestling to succeed as opposed to any one company.

Before the main event on Armageddon they ran a rather good hype video with the build up to the match. This was put to a great song, but i don't know which song it was. Can anybody tell me?
