Things that stood out in my mind on the first read:
Strangler's long promo in the middle of the show. Read it.
Ejiro's opening match. Only Ejiro could do that to open the biggest PPV of the year and still not only make it not suck but make it incredible. Also, his entrance rocked.
Edwin/Silent, but we knew that would be excellent.
Dace winning the Commissionership match. Jesus, talk about your rub.
And Danny/TNT.
DOn't get me wrong, though... everything on that show was incredible. WFers, I salute you.
There's a big difference between Mel Gibson asking to be called by a character name and a pro wrestler doing the same thing. I assume it stems from kayfabe, where they tried to pretend that the workers really did have outlandish backgrounds and the workers were expected to live their gimmicks. It's just sort of become the accepted thing.
This, of course, is ignoring the sack it takes to say that a wrestler doesn't deserve to be called whatever he damn well pleases. So the guy who was born Paul Levesque wants to be called 'Hunter' in public. What's the big deal? More importantly, why should anyone except him decide what he gets called in public?
Dropkick Murphys, "The Gauntlet"
The Doors, "Tell All The People"
Philosopher Kings, "I Am The Man"
Led Zeppelin, "Kashmir"
Though if I were going to make a soundtrack, I'd leave "The Gauntlet" off, since I only used it briefly.
Check your grammar, don't capitalize "professional wrestling" just for the hell of it, and remember that plurals don't take apostrophes.
I'm not sure a discussion on puro fits the theme of the paper, if only because Japanese wrestling HASN'T really had an impact on pop culture. If the Montreal Screwjob isn't deemed appropriate, something even more esoteric probably isn't appropriate either.

IL, who I'm talking about asif he's not here, is still a bit clunky when it comes to his humor and grammar. He's made great strides recently, and really, it's just all about maturity.
Well, I've never read the BWF, so I don't have any idea about their quality, but hey, if someone read their stuff and joined, cool. RPing just isn't my thing. I prefer to have the control over both my character in AND out of the ring that are inherent in the SJL and SWF. I love it.
