Yes, I meant WWF, not WWW... LOL!

Barbara Boxer is my state's senator, and I happen to have a lot more respect for her than for Rice, so I won't be singing that song... but I'll admit it's clever.

I think you are right that pro wrestling has replaced boxing as the main gladiator-style entertainment. The big difference, of course, is that it's fake. The violence is no more real than in a movie, and therefore cannot be compared to that which occurs in a boxing match.

Cheers,
