Wrestling fans invite this abuse. We never take a stand and say enough is enough. Our apathy serves as compliance and provides promoters the justification to undertake their sleazy courses of action. The second problem is wrestling itself. Wrestling, by nature, is a con.
Wrestling is conducive to lying.
The problem is that all to often, promoters begin to believe the lie. As time passes and the line between the truth and lies gets blurred, promoters can no longer differentiate, and the lies become the truth. Which brings us back to Nash and Hogan. Fans are growing leery of WCW as it is. Nobody wants to see these guys go at in the main event.
