Wrestling. Boxing. Ugh. Why would anyone put themselves intentionally in a ring to fight for their life? I don’t get it and yet I do…
The extent of my knowledge of wrestling and boxing (yes, I know they are two different sports) comes from Rocky. I picture Rocky cracking those eggs and gulping them down. Or the iconic scene of him running up the stairs, breaking through his physical and mental barriers. Left, right, jab-jab-jab. It’s exhausting. It’s exhilarating. How about the scenes in the ring when his eyes are almost swollen shut or his nose is bleeding…painful to look at and painful to experience.
