Loved the Broadway comparison, that's genuinely insightful. The idea that both are scripted performance art but still create real emotional impact is somethign I hadn't pieced together before. I used to think wrestling was just for kids but now I see it more like opera or ballet where the athleticism and storytelling blend together. Really good framing on this.
