Since the demise of ECW, there has been a void for truly violent wrestling in the US. A void largely filled by psychotic teenagers in their backyards.

I mean it beats working at McDonalds… And watching the kind of guy who used to beat you up in school get a two by four to the head has a fair amount of shadenfraude in it.
