LUBBOCK — Every area of Texas — whether it’s the far-flung rural corners of the state or the busy streets in the large, urban corridors — shares a love of sports.
Football, basketball or baseball, professional, college or youth, it doesn’t matter; Texans are game. Even lawmakers make it a point to wish their favorite teams luck before a big game, if not actually attend. Because fans in the Lone Star State take sports seriously, the economy rakes in hundreds of millions of dollars every year.
There is one sport that hasn’t quite reached the level other sports have: professional wrestling.
