Heroes and idols

You can say about pro wrestling what you may. You may think it's over the top, fake, or violent, but you can't deny pro wrestling knows and respects its past. It respects its heroes. Look no further than Ric Flair at Wrestlemania 24 for the best example of this (out now on DVD and Blu-ray!)

Same feeling is present in baseball, when at last week's All Star game scores of Hall of Famers entered the field, in the most legendary ballpark of all.

See? Sports is not just about competition. It's not even just about glory. Sports is about respecting heroes, idols.
