The consequences compared to many other races, and classes have a difference.

They want to see absurdly muscly performers battle it out with ridiculously overweight opponents, which has led to some pretty interesting bodies over the years. However, chiselled physiques are quite difficult to maintain and fat bodies are unadvisable to maintain, which means for every awe-inspiring body in pro wrestling, there has been an awe-inspiring body transformation.

It is because of the media that these killers receive the acknowledgement they do, according to Mark Seltzer, author of widely acclaimed 1998 book, "Serial Killers: Death and Life in America 's Wound Culture." Seltzer noted that the media coverage surrounding a serial killer was overwhelmingly extensive. He posited that the volume of news stories, biographies depicting the killer’s crimes, and movies developed have made serial killers a “household name”.
