If the game show thing enters into it at all, then it's probably because many of our number seem to have an affinity for shiny things.

There may actually be a little bit to that. Both game shows and the WWE are big extravaganzas with lots of lights and music. Neither genre would be where it is now without those production values, most likely.

'cept game shows stopped rrrrRRRIIIGGGGGGing their outcomes nearly 50 years ago.  :-P

(Closest I ever got to WWF/WWE was passing one of their production trucks on I-76 about 15 years ago on the PA Turnpike).

Which makes me ask why he introduced himself as "Nunzio" when he was completely out of character and pimping his product not at all.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

Picking nits because, well, I want to:  Sure, Nuni said that, but the contestant's nickname was "Monty," right?  Two Full Blooded Italians just saying their nicknames.

Now if a "Big Vito" was going to roll the dice, there's a problem... and a completely different show.

ObRestaurants:  There's a "Nunzio's Restaurant" nearby where I live, and it's pretty damn good.

Yeah, I'm one too.

Me too. I keep waiting for the day I get a tape of a Tom Kennedy-hosted game show, and it opens with Tom standing there wordlessly, and after the applause dies down, he holds the microphone as close to his mouth as possible and screams, "KENNEDYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!"

Ten percent laugh, 10 percent think "Wow," 80 percent totally ignore the post.

...and me too.  Although, I should have thought of the (Tom) KENNEDYYYYYYYY <pause, wait for it..........wait for it....> KENNEDYYYYYYYY  line.

Back in '95 I interviewed Hulk Hogan on our radio station in Medford, OR.  I've met Mick Foley (nice guy) and I ran into Playboy Buddy Rose about 2 months ago in a Target here in Vancouver, WA.

What about the handful of NASCAR fans on this board?

[TLEberle]

I'm sure the same could be said for fans of "The Simpsons", "Star Trek," or "Saturday Night Live." If out of 100 TV viewers, you have 50 game show fans and 50 wrestling fans, it makes sense that there should be some overlap between the two groups. It's not surprising in the least that there are fans of both in our group, especially when our group is larger than a thousand members.

ZH, I'm shocked that you didn't mention the XFL, and that's a good thing, because I would have bribed Zinc to permanently ban you if you had.

What about them, Zachary?

Considering its a potential future career for me; I really don't appreciate you trying to start some flack.

If that's not where you were going, my apologies in advance.
