Jericho won me over, with his over the top arrogance. That guy makes me belly laugh. He is a genius at provoking the fans to hate him. I find it truly entertaining to hear his banter and watch him work the crowd. So although everyone else might despise the guy, I think he’s brilliant. I cannot tell you the name of every wrestler, or tell you their storyline, but I am definitely learning. After attending No Way Out in Seattle, I should tell you that I am unable to write up a re-cap of the events that took place. Why? I was too busy trying to stay out of the way of the camera crew and figure out the settings on my camera. It definitely put my skills to the test and was a welcome challenge.

It was nothing like shooting a concert.

I was really amazed at how fiercely passionate the fans are. This was definitely like being at a concert. They had their signs, T-shirts, championship belts and were active participants at the event. Families brought their kids, a lot of which were wearing Rey Mysterio masks, and enjoyed the show together. WWE definitely breaks all barriers when it comes down to their fans. Every age group, male and female, rich, poor, rockers, preps, jocks, rednecks, you name it, they were there. That’s impressive!

The one thing that worries and concerns me, is the injury aspect. I used to think they always faked it. But after being up close and personal, I witnessed that there was no faking a bloody gash on your head. That’s what happened to Randy Orton. I even zoomed in as close as I could to see if it was fake blood. It was not. I did, however, witness a lot of exaggerated injuries, where the wrestlers really played up getting hit. My concern is this, how do they know when someone is truly injured? Is there a special safe word they use? After hearing about one wrestler actually falling to his death in the ring, and the fans not realizing it was real, I wonder how they do it? The death and injury rate of professional wrestlers are alarmingly high. I can only imagine the toll their career takes on their bodies. Anyone who thinks it’s all show, should attend an event. A lot of those maneuvers have got to hurt like hell.
