Wannabe Idol
Only a fierce passion, a witless determination, a quixotic predisposition, do that italian wrestlers climbs every time to the ring. Because the world of Italian wrestling is a hell. Athletes are not paid, federations do not earn, the public is often scarce, incompetent, even tedious and the media are only interested to jeer at them. In addition many federations are often in conflict with each other. But all these difficulties exist before entering the arena and after returning to the locker room. During the match the italian wrestlers forget everything. In front of ten, twenty or hundred spectators, they give the best of themselves, they exalt themselves, they act in everything and for everything as a star of the highest international circuit. They are well aware that when they go up the ring, they do not fight against their opponent, they fight against all of us, looking for the things everyone is looking for. They seek to be accepted, understood, esteemed, even beloved by others.
