“World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (WWE) is an American publicly traded, privately controlled entertainment company that deals primarily in professional wrestling, with major revenue sources also coming from film, music, product licensing and direct product sales. WWE also refers to the professional wrestling promotion itself, founded by Jess McMahon and Toots Mondt in 1952 as Capitol Wrestling Corporation. As of 2014, it is the largest wrestling promotion in the world, holding approximately 320 televised and non-televised events a year, and broadcasting to about 36 million viewers in more than 150 countries.[9] The company's headquarters are located in Stamford, Connecticut, with offices in New York City, Los Angeles, London, Shanghai, Tokyo, Singapore, Munich, Mumbai, and Mexico City. “As in other professional wrestling promotions, WWE shows are not legitimate sporting contests, but purely entertainment-based, featuring storyline-driven, scripted, and choreographed matches.”It is a cross somewhere between competitive sport and dramatic theater. WWE’s uproarious “dramatic theatre”, where each wrestler is given a name, a gimmick and signature move; each with their own costume and their own entourage to boot, would be a natural for the flamboyant Caitlyn, who could at least lay claim to legitimate sports courtesy of the 1976 Olympic decathlon. Wrestlers like Hulk Hogan, Randy Macho Man Savage, Stardust and Brie Bella are not really athletes but entertainers in the lucrative world of pretend. In the 100 percent manufactured reality of WWE, female performers are now called “divas”.
“Leggy” 2004 WWE Diva of the Year Stacy Keibler splashed into supermarket news headlines when she split from the much older movie star boyfriend George Clooney. They talked and they quietly stopped being a couple several weeks ago." (SporstWorldNews)Whether it’s the WWE, Reality TV, soap operas, movies or the Kardashians, when you run out of jaw-dropping “news”, you run the risk of running out of money and have to go out on the hunt for a Caitlyn. Flamingly flamboyant as she is as a woman, Caitlyn is really only Bruce Jenner in drag, and Reality TV’s trying to pass her off as the Patron Saint of Trannies is so much hooey. With Caitlin they’re attempting to do the impossible because only God can create woman. You can put lipstick on a pig, but not everybody will be waiting in line to kiss it. Their latest stunt proves that Reality TV needs a reality check. Caitlyn’s Mission Impossible 101 because trying to pass off Kris Jenner’s ex as the tranny champ of the world is akin to putting Hulk Hogan in a tutu and sending him out to compete with the cute 5-year-old ballerina who reigns as princess of your heart.
