Jerry Springer on Pro Wrestling: "Millions Have Grown Up Enjoying It, and I Don’t Think It Should Be Taken Any More Seriously Than That"

“It’s all a circus and it’s all entertainment. If you’re prepared to take it in the spirit in which it’s given, then you can really enjoy it and have a great time. If you’re going to sit back and just be in judgment of all this, then you’re not going to have a good time. The fact is, particularly young people enjoy it, love it [and] they don’t grow up to be dysfunctional because they see it. A whole nation has watched wrestling for the last 50 years on television. It really was one of the first sporting events on television because it was very easy to televise. Millions and millions of Americans have grown up enjoying the entertainment, and I don’t think it should be taken any more seriously than that. One thing that is very clear when you watch professional wrestlers is what phenomenal athletes they are. There’s so much emphasis given to the drama and all of that, but if you really look at it, they are in phenomenal shape."
