American Pro wrestling.

AMERICA!

I'm going to say America. There can be an America without pro wrestling(a better America, some people might say), but there's no pro wrestling without America.

@pcorb: Japan and Mexico disagree.

@melvargh: @darth_navster: Just as there are comic book writers and stand up comedians outside of America, there are non-American wrestlers, but wrestling, comics and stand up are fundamentally American art forms.

Judging from his Stars & Stripes wrestling pants, I'd say Dan has fused both loves together. Both are mutually indistinguishable now. :-P

But will his passions serve him well in the ring against The Wolf, or they all for nought against Navarro's fury? Only time will tell...

Wrestling founded America so Wrestling

I think in Dan's mind, America and Pro Wrestling are the same thing.

@pcorb: Wrong. According to Wikipedia, pro wrestling started in France in the early 1800s. The modern form was then popularized by the US and the UK.

They are the same thing.

Even the Hulkster agrees...its America

He may "like" them equally but he understands the nonsense of Wrestling while he is one with America.

Well yeh.

Thank you for putting AMERICA in all caps, as it always should be. I wouldn't have understood the question if it wasn't.

@pcorb: Two of the three things you listed can be strongly debated. Stand-up and pro wrestling both can at least be traced to simultaneous starts in different country which may have begun before the Americans tried their hand at it. Lucha libre was created at some point after the French intervention in Mexico in the 1860s. Stand-up in the UK has roots in music hall shows which go back to the 18th century. And maybe someone else can argue about comics. You'd have been better listing jazz as a quintessential American art.

Dan doesn't love America, he is America. So, Pro Wrestling.

Well, we may not have answered the question at hand, but at least we have determined that all wrestlers have awful hair.

Dude... Pro Wrestling was created in France. Or should I say combining fixed outcome wrestling with the showmanship aspect was created in France. The explosion of Pro-Wrestling in America was more because of the proliferation of the Radio than anything else.

Are they not the same thing?

I'm fairly certain Dan loves wrestling more than anyone loves anything.

Dan loves his shtick more than anything else.

He knows more about wrestling than America, that's for sure.

Same thing basically

America, unless by pro wrestling you specifically mean WWE and WCW. He doesn't care in the slightest about good wrestling.

Going to buck the trend and say wrestling. There are some things about America that Dan is totally into. There are no things about wrestling that he's not totally into.

As Dan has never eaten a Big Mac I'd say it's pretty obvious that the United States comes lower on his list, if anything he's probably just a pro America poser.

Soccer?

Hmm.. there does seem to be some crossover appeal.

I didn't know there was a difference.

@spoonman671: Wait a minute is that AJ Styles or Vinny with a wig?

@darth_navster: Haggis was first prepared in ancient Rome, that doesn't mean it's not fundamentally Scottish.
