    While WrestleMania is huge, the Monday Night Raw after is considered just as important (if not more important) as WrestleMania itself. Many fans from around the world stick around to attend the weekly televised program.

    While waiting in line to get into the SAP Center, I decided to ask the fans why they like to watch pro wrestling. Here's what they had to say:

    1. "It is the true American performance art."
