Knowing that she's the the stupid Jersey Shore whore, I'm really not interested in her as a person. But if I met her on the street and she turned out to be a cool, sweet girl then I would think she was adorable. And I'd really like to bury my face in her tits.

You see, here's where I see you getting hung up: You keep wanting to equate it to "real fighting." These people are performers. They're actors. And some of them are great athletes. But of course they're not "real fighters" any more than Jackie Chan or Jet Li are. (Not to say that Chan or Li or are not real martial artists, but their martial arts are clearly directed toward a different end than actual combat.)
So you really have to get past that angle of whether or not these guys could become successful MMA fighters. I understand the thought, but it's almost irrelevant to the discussion. I mean, I really like the show Spartacus but I don't get pissed because in real life Andy Whitfield wouldn't be able to kill a bunch of gladiators in ancient Rome.
Touche. I can't explain the appeal. I can only say that there's something to it that I can't put my finger on.
Not sure if I explained this before, but the only reason I started watching the shit again recently was because I ran across the Brett Hart documentary "Wrestling with Shadows." I then watched "Beyond the Mat" and "The Rise and Fall of ECW."
Intrigued, and reminiscing about my childhood when I was a wrestling fan, I downloaded an episode of TNA and checked it out. I was kind of iffy about it, but the next week, I watched the next episode. And I've just kept going.
I think part of it has to do with reliving my childhood and part of it has to do with the fact that I honestly have gotten intrigued by storylines. I've gotten genuinely curious about what's going to happen next and I look forward to each Friday when I download the newest episode and check that shit out.
