Whether you love or hate World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), we must acknowledge it. Yes: we all know that it is not real wrestling. There are not people bashing each other’s heads in with their fists, people are not getting legitimately slammed with steel chairs and WWE superstars are not being buried alive and later returning from the dead (in reference to the Undertaker).

If you are like me, there was a point in your life where you thought every bit of this was real or at least ignored the fact that is wasn’t. You might have even tried some moves on your friends as they returned the favor until somebody was down for the three-count; maybe you still do this. However, as you get older things start becoming a little more clear, at least for most of us.

WWE is an entertainment industry with WrestleMania being their biggest spectacle. This past Sunday, WrestleMania 32 took place in Arlington, TX where it drew some record-breaking numbers.

It scored the biggest attendance for any WWE event while also becoming the highest-grossing event in WWE history. Nearly 94,000 people (although, 101,763 was claimed by WWE) filled AT&T Stadium and a total of $17.3 million from ticket sales.

Say what you want about the WWE, but the numbers speak for themselves. They are saying that professional wrestling is on the map.

WrestleMania 32 did not disappoint when it came to throwing you for a loop. NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal shocked the WWE Universe when he entered the ring to compete in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

He didn’t win, but he did team up with the Big Show for a chokeslam on Kane before getting thrown out of the ring.

Two crowd-favorites: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and John Cena teamed up to take down the vicious Wyatt Family. Cena made a surprise return to help save the Rock who was clearly outnumbered making for a heroic save-the-day scene.

The Rock wasn’t the only star who brought WWE fans back to the glory days. Stone Cold Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels and Mick Foley all joined forces on Sunday night to toss some villains out the ring and celebrate in a beer shower.

Then there was Roman Reigns who defeated Triple H in the main event to reclaim the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

All this action yet none of these were the highlight of the night. Shane McMahon jumped 20-plus feet from a steel cage hoping to fall onto his opponent, but the Undertaker dodged him sending Shane through the table all by himself. This right here goes to show that these WWE superstars to put their body through a lot to put on a good show for their fans.

Even though it’s scripted, that doesn’t mean these guys have it easy. It takes a lot of athleticism and guts to do some of these stunts.
