“Don’t hate nothing at all except hatred.” – Bob Dylan … The WWE and hatred go together like pea soup and a grilled-cheese sandwich – warming and wonderful.
The hatred we watch on WWE television is unlike the hatred we watch on the evening news with empathetic eyes. The word “hate” in the wrestling world is a actually a good word that makes the product that much more enjoyable.
The hatred we are subjected to from WWE is a farce – a staged emotionally offering set forth to engage the audience. It’s the classic way of building a wrestling match; distinguish a mutual hatred between the competitors and then sell that bad blood to the fans.
However, sometimes the lines of fiction and reality are blurred and whether we know it or not, what we are watching is peppered with real life drama. Which can be expected in an environment of high-level competition, backstabbing, and politicking. Suddenly, this is not a storyline.
