Wrestling Isn't Fake... But It's Not a Sport Either

Seth Rollins after winning the WWE title at WrestleMania.

We're a little more than a week beyond WrestleMania. The show was fantastic, the finish was electric and Ronda Rousey judo tossed Triple H. It was pretty great.

During WrestleMania week, ESPN got in on the fun in a big way. Both Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman, two of the players involved in the main event, appeared on SportsNation. Brock Lesnar broke the news that he had spurned the UFC in lieu of re-signing with the WWE and, during the show itself, several official ESPN Twitter accounts were sending out match updates throughout the show.

During last Sunday's late SportsCenter there was even a highlight package put together of the main event, right alongside the NCAA tournament and NBA news of the day.

It was all good fun. Except on Twitter. The “wrestling is fake” crowd showed up en masse to rain down its anger on ESPN.

When it comes to professional wrestling, no event is bigger than WrestleMania.

This year’s showcase, the 31st in WWE’s history, will play out in front of nearly 70,000 fans at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. With four hours of wrestling scheduled for Sunday night, I could spend 5,000 words previewing it all, but instead, here are my must-see three.

Bron-a-Mania is Back!: LeBron Heads Home and Turns Babyface

By Joe Parello (@HerewegoJoe)

For the second time in four years LeBron James has made an incredible basketball decision.

Back in 2010 it was joining forces with fellow stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to form the NBA's super friends in Miami, and now The King has put himself in position to reign even longer with a young and talent rich team in Cleveland.

Oh yeah, he's also going home, turning babyface again and all that other good stuff.
