the main event was stone cold vs the undertaker.

i was kinda shocked at the level of dedication from these fans over a fake sport. i mean, i'm a raider fan and i've been to games, and this crowd made the oakland colosseum seem sophisticated. everyone was holding up signs, screaming their heads off, and rushing the ring every time the match was over. there was this kid next to us about ten years old with his mom crying because the undertaker lost. the whole thing was pretty fascinating.

i mean, i was deep into wrestling when i was around twelve but i can't fathom how someone could take it seriously as an adult.

so while it's probably insulting to geeks to coin this a geek thing, it's DEFINITELY a pop culture phenomenon, and could be studied as such.
