We watch them because the characters are so charasmatic; NOTHING they poke fun at is taken seriously, (not meant to be, so we cannot get 'offended' by their more controversial storylines), and for the sheer talent it takes for these big, burly guys to pull these impressive stunts off without harming themselves or eachother. --- Just the facial expressions (Vinny Mac, Booker ...) are priceless. They make regular programming seem lame in comparison -- they are actually more convincing actors!~ If sit-com actors give 100%, it seems these guys are giving 550%! ----- And these guys are athletes, first!! It's all in good fun and a great stress-buster -- especially if you work with folks who are straight-faced serious all day/every day. All in all, these performers are downright hysterical, too! Haven't laughed so hard since M*A*S*H* And the only 2 shows each week we do NOT miss if we can help it (save Emeril). Half of the 'characters' make fun of themselves. Can be some lessons learned in humility just listening to the likes of Kurt Angle & Jericho LOL Love 'em!

Hi, I was born & raised in the North East (within miles of your location as a matter of fact and my entire family is still there) and believe that you need to visit other regions of our great country to get the full picture of the US. ------ It wasn't until I began to winter in Florida over 10 years ago that I began to realize that my fellow North Easterners (not all, but too many) are consistantly just not as personable as folks from, say, the South or the Midwest. ------- Living down here in a 'SnowBird' area, we encounter folks from all over the country (and the world) on a daily basis. And, it's gotten to the point that, when I encounter a gloomy, not-so-nice person (shoving ahead of you, not saying 'excuse me', et. el.), I automatically ask where in the NorthEast/Ohio they're from -- without ever hearing a word from them. It never fails, either! This is amazing! ---- Upon encountering a smiling, polite,pleasant person, one can guarantee they are Southerners/Texans or from somewhere in the Gateway/Mid-West. (I can just go by accents from there once they speak - and they usually greet you anyway). ---- This has been perplexing me to no end for 10 years now!! This is why I found this forum. It drives me crazy! ---- These other regions have crowded cities, crimes, bad weather, as well! Heck, Chicago's wind chills alone make winters in Philly, NJ, NY ... seem like Spring. Their problems are no different than those of ours in the NE. (And no difference in behavior post/pre 9/11). ---- So, hey, Maryland, Delaware, DC, right on up to Maine: ---- What on earth is your problem?! What are they putting in your drinking water?! And how is it you can see somebody every day for months and never once address them by name even though they greet you by yours?! ---- And why can't you come to a beautiful South Florida island with perennial sunshine, no traffic, no crime, a beach 2 blocks away from every building on it and, at least, attempt to be pleasant and polite like the folks from other parts of our country do? (And your face will not break in two if you smile, you know).
