Why do we take credit for his being a Pakistani? What have we even done for him to own him? Athletes in Pakistan are facing all sorts of troubles to reach some international arena to display their infinite talent.

@N_Saq .... You're right. The wrestling crowd is caught up in the action, cheers for the hero and boos the villain. Classic theatrical melodrama.
