Description Professional wrestling, even at the local level, has story themes.  We love to hate evil and glorify the good and true.  They have wrestlers to fulfill those roles.  If Shakespeare was alive today he might be involved with the World Wrestling Federation.

Today's theme was women love their macho man.


So many of us long for the admiration and glory of having a woman lust for us.   Eye Candy Elliott, the wrestling star, came with his own pair of hot women who would carry on their theme of adoration.  They walked him into the ring and when things got tough would run to his side, as in this picture.  The short tight skirts and low cut tops were all part of the show.  Imagine how that would feel as a teenage boy. No one complained about the sexism.


My family had a chance to see local wrestling in Bloomington, Indiana.  We know it is choreographed, but that doesn't get in the way of rooting and enjoying the action.  No matter how fake it might be, there is always a serious chance of them getting hurt.  Not all acrobatics are safe, and many things can and will go wrong.  The performers are serious about their efforts and gave us a good show.   Likely underpaid, but that is how it can be in show business.  You rise to greater heights and rewards.

Lighting wasn't good and to get a somewhat fast shutter speed I had to push the ISO to my camera's limit.  This highly limits the quality but some can be recovered in photo shop. 


If you want to get a better angle you are free to move around the ring.   Get as close as you want, but be warned, the action often leaves the ring, and might catch you unawares.  I stayed safely behind others just in case.

wrestling is such a curious commodity....

its basically giving us a ticket to see a sort of kung-fu movie in the flesh,

which is interesting.  we can live an ideal for just a while in which superheroes exist... and we are part of the show.

somehow this touched me.

your understanding of the intricacies of fame are unusual, i wonder if you have looked fame in the face as i once did, and decided you didnt want that spotlight. I myself nearly led a band (as the lead singer) into fame, and when i learnt what that actually meant, i turned away from it because it meant giving every minute of my life to psycho fans who would steal the clothes off my back just to say they had met me and had evidence...

as artists we are afforded a bit of leniency, our lives are still our own...

but as stars we are always in the spotlight.

its a heavy burden to bear.

i wonder if this is what you meant..??

if not im sorry,perhaps i am looking through a tinted lens.

I prefer rose colored glasses but am having much trouble finding pink filters in series 6 size to fit my frames.
Fame is fleeting. I'm going for recognition instead. I offer most of my images as an historical reference. dA is good for feedback but not much else .
Yours was an interesting take which I enjoyed.

the tinted lenses can help when dealing with the intricacies of a world that makes little sense at the best of times.

recognition is definitely the more attractive option, one in which we can keep our own personality and share with the world our thoughts and emotions.

hope you have a great day my friend!
