Pro Wrestling Has a Problem
Wrestling right now is awesome, it doesn't matter what kind of style you like or what kind of wrestling you want to see it is just out there waiting for you and will give you a loving embrace when you find it. So you could actually say that the wrestling bubble is smaller than ever this is why it may be about to cause a major problem.

I mean i just want to see what people are going to do but as silly as it may sound you can have too much of something.
