It's time for me to come out of the closet. I actually kind of like professional wrestling. Yeah, I realize it's fake and silly and vulgar, but that's kind of the point. It's the closest thing we have to live action Warner brothers cartoons. →[More:]When I was a kid my main men were Superfly Snuka and Andre The Giant simply because to my kid perspective they were so wild and freakish and badass. Me and my friends would try do the moves in eachother's backyards. We're probably lucky we didn't maim ourselves.

Among the current crop, my favorite is Mick 'Mankind' Foley. We appear to share a similar fashion sense, plus while he hasa wacko persona in the ring, he still radiates enough intelligence and self-awareness to keep it all fun. He's also written his own bios, two novels and a few kid's books, visited the troops overseas, done tons of charitable work and is a proud liberal Democrat. Attaboy, Cactus jack!

So, fellow wrestlemanaic mechazens. C'mon in and tell me your faves.

(note: I've recently been reading these two books about pro wrestling and it's appeal. they're both very smart and interesting)
