10 Crazy Facts You Just Have To Accept Before You Can Enjoy Wrestling
4. Camera Men Are Everywhere (And Also Invisible)
There's more to wrestling than just matches. Half the time we get to see backstage where wrestlers face the camera and deliver some kind of threatening message to their opponent. Makes perfect sense. However what doesn't make sense is that sometimes we see a tag team discussing their strategy with each other, as if they don't know the camera man is there. Sometimes we see personal discussions, for example, between Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Yes, husband and wife have personal discussions which are filmed and broadcast on live TV all over the world. And it's not just backstage. We've seen these omniscient cameras film events in hospitals, restaurants, gyms, airports, grocery stores, churches, even in the wrestlers own homes! Yes sometimes we do get an explanation, such as John Cena has invited WWE cameras into his home for an exclusive interview. Although I cant imagine what explanations WWE could offer for why these magic cameras occasionally film events in bathrooms and showers! Back in 2009 on ECW (so you're forgiven if you didn't see it) the WWE cameras even managed to film inside Zack Ryders head as he fantasized about Rosa Mendes, though luckily for Zack his fantasies are PG.
As a wrestling fan I've flown across the Atlantic for the last five years specifically to attend WrestleMania (28 and 30) as well as TNA, ROH, Evolve, Chikara and most recently PWG.
I may have a problem!
But if you're reading my work then you probably love wrestling too, so lets focus on that!
