The Katz Files
Top 2009 Non-Wrestling Characters
The Kingfish Arnie Katz picks his favorite WWE and TNA non-wrestling characters for 2009.
Pro wrestling is mostly about what happens inside the ropes — and in the ringside area – bur a lot of what makes a show special often depends on performers who don’t throw a Suplex or score a pinfall
The show’s non-wrestlers act as foils or instigators who advance the plot that, hopefully, will lead to exciting and dramatic matches involving the promotion’s wrestling performers.
You sure wouldn’t want a promotion that focused on non-wrestlers and forgot the all-important great matches, but you wouldn’t want to lose the excitement, color and complexity that non-wrestling characters contribute.
