I'm going to be real sad and say my heroes are my Mum and Dad. Both have such amazing qualities in them that I really hope to be just like them when I grow up... I couldn't have asked for better parenting and I owe them so much.
Who are your heroes? Page 2
Well said, Ellie. There are very few people who qualify for this, and parents have got to be in the list, for me, anyway.
A true hero is someone who doesn't let you down, is always reliable and who you can count on, 100%, 24/7. Which sets such a figure apart from say, mere influences etc, like rock or film stars.

Right?
What, like The Office? Or Curb Your Enthusiasm? Lost? 24? Life on Mars? It's all made-up, but with that kind of wrestling there's the extra drama of it being LIVE, and of only being loosely scripted; the final outcome is pre-determined, but the methods of reaching it aren't set in stone. Unless Owen Hart was 'cool' with everything...
I didn't even know you guys got WWE let alone watched it?
p.s. My parents are awesome too.

UK is one of it's biggest markets, apparently.
I used to love wrestling when I was a kid. I even got to see a few. It sucks right now though. Poor story lines. Besides the golden years of Hogan, the Piper, Jake the Snake ect.. my favorite years were the Triple X, Bret the Hitman Heart and his foundation, The Rock and the Mick Foley SOCKO days. After they all left the show was no longer entertaining for me.
Parent's are alright but I can't imagine my mother being able to make the Kessel run in under 12 Parsecs.

I refuse that name. It's WWF.
(Largely on channels which require subscription beyond the normal platform charges so audience is relatively limited, but yeah, it's still watched by a lot of people.)
Nerds.

Immense!
Don't suppose you ever saw Robot Wars? Robotic battle show. The US version was hosted by Cactus Jack (or at least it was at the start)?
Says the man who knows Han Solo's greatest achievement.
