From that moment in eighth grade when Johnny Nitro first pranced across my television screen, I knew I had begun a life-long obsession with something truly stupid. Any entertainment where dry ice and theme music are essential to plot development is not the kind of thing one discusses in polite company. But still, I must confess: I love professional wrestling.
