Professional wrestling is not a sport. It is entertainment. If you don't believe me just look up what WWE stands for. To be a sport, an activity must have a competition where each participant has some chance at winning. When each match has a script and a predetermined winner you are not watching a sport.

Next you'll tell me Roller Derby is scripted as well. I am an avid racing fan, but not of NASCAR. Drag racing is waaaaay better. The races only last a few seconds, and you're on to a new one. Great if you have a short attention span like myself!
Aslan is right. The sport isn't going away. I've been doing this for 40 years. Bowling has always ebbed and flowed. Granted, the current ebb has been going on pretty long. Go to a house around Milwaukee on the weekend, and the places are usually pretty packed. I think if some of the houses pushed their youth programs a little harder, bowling could be brought back to what it used to be when I was a kid.
Old guy with power (15.5-16; 325). Current arsenal--Storm Summit, RotoGrip Idol Helios, Storm Phaze III, Storm SureLock (retired), Storm IQ Tour Nano and Motiv Rebel tank (spare/dry). High sanctioned game - 300 (5). High sanctioned series - 856. A.V. 300-s - 8. Longest string - 25.

One of the weirdest sports (activities?) I've seen is tractor pulling. They actually have a series that travels across the US

Don't poke the bear. Once he gets on a "locking spree" he's bound to lock a thread where my wisdom has only begun to flow....and that's not good.
Was that pun intentional or unintentional?
I live by three simples rules:
1. Don't ever ask about my business
2. Never discuss business at the table
3. Don't ever side with anyone against the family
