Thoughts about professional wrestling

After my recent chat with Rikishi (aka Kishi) and Black Pearl while they were here in Cape Town, I started thinking of the huge problem of getting better known internationally if you don't have international television exposure. This is a huge problem in terms of keeping the fanbase and keeping the up cashflow of the organisation over a long time. This seems like a huge amount of work to become an established household name.

Touring through different countries is tedious and stressful, but that is what is requried for the fans which are ultimately the lifeblood of any sports organisation. These professional wrestlers really put a lot on the line for their career, especially since they cannot do this all of their life either.
