10 Undeniable Wrestling Truths That Don't Make Any Sense

10. Wrestling Weddings ALWAYS Drew

The adage “everybody loves a good wedding” is rarely true outside of the wedding party, a few close family and friends, and anybody who is profiting from the ceremony - the pious priest included.

Professional wrestling is often likened to a soap opera, almost as often as it is compared to other combat sports. And while some fans may be hesitant to admit it, we love both aspects of sports entertainment. Outsiders could taunt us “if you love it so much, why don’t you marry it?”, which would be an angle too bizarre for even wrestling, but WWE turning us all into cultish sister wives is one way to eradicate much criticism.

From a drugged Stephanie McMahon being guided through a Vegas wedding, to Al Wilson and Dawn Marie’s tighty-whitey nuptials, wrestling weddings are prime cringe. In spite of being the antithesis of the typical macho image of wrestling, such segments consistently draw increased ratings among the fanbase.

AEW’s recent ceremony for Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford sparked a viewership increase of 97,000 for Dynamite’s quarter-hour. Even more impressive it outdrew the NXT debut of Royal Rumble winner and Hall of Famer Edge by 250,000 viewers.
