So reporter Michael Bradley said in a recent article about ESPN covering WWE...........
“Forging alliances with legitimate leagues is one thing,” Bradley writes. Trying to build an audience by making something that isn’t real sport seem more legitimate is far more cynical and potentially explosive. First comes the WWE. Then come full highlights of the Globetrotters’ next game. After all, that team has fans all around the world.”
I see many of you replying to the report about ESPN covering Poker, Spelling Bees, etc - which I certainly believe ESPN shouldn't cover either, but I also agree they have no business covering WWE!!
I am a fan of RASSLIN as much as anybody out there but I also know that it's FAKE & NOT A SPORT!! The only "sports" thing about it is the physical bumps the guys take but beyond that it is a choreographed routine w/ predetermined outcomes & has no business being covered on ESPN (neither does poker, spelling, etc)!!
So all you MARKS go ahead and attack him and me but onething you cannot change is that he was partially right & ESPN shouldn't be tweeting Wrestlemania results, etc! ITS NOT NEEDED! Oh let me guess.......ITS STILL REAL TO YOU?!
