EX. Wrestling is fake. So what? Wrestling is ridiculous. So what?
Super hero comic books are both fake and ridiculous and I love them because of that.
In the amazing video featured above, "Wrestling is Wrestling", Max Landis breaks down the wrestling career of Triple H to show how a single character is transformed over 20 years of story-telling. And it's awesome.
