Two totaly different avenues Rob. I played Football infront of a large audience too (I can't tell ya how large off the top of my head)... And did plays in front of about a thousand people. I was refering exclusivly to Professional Wrestling/Sports Entertainment.
Not that I'm in anyway taking away from that accomplishment. I've always held Amature wrestlers in high reguard. I believe a wildly talented Amature Wrestler can trump Almost any other fight specialist. Matt Hughes is currently (or was the last time I watched any MMA, Which was this past Summer) proving that theory. I'm simply stating that it's two different things.
