Anybody Still Watch Wrestling?

[stonecold1203]

Its just entertainment. Its not real..

Like the whole Kane's unmasking angle going on right now.

Its awesome. Only reason people are tuining in to Raw.


So what do you think Linda will do to Austin?

I love wrestling! My favorite wrestler is The Undertaker. I think stonecold1203 already knows that though.

Not missed the point at all !!!

The script.. the bad guy never wins in the end ?

Its like watching roadrunner or tom & jerry !!

Its not a sport is it ?

How do people watch that rubbish ?

Its just my 2 pence worth

"Old Days" What does that mean?

Old days goes back to Harley Race, Dick the Bruiser, Kerry VanErick, Rufus R Jones and Andre the Giant.

Wrestling has always been fixed. Today it is a more polished melodrama, with villians and heroes. The athletic ability and production quality of these matches makes them akin to an off-Broadway play or a covert circus.

I find the whole thing a bit simplistic, so I am not a fan.

[alan36uk]

circus !!! yes that about sums it up lol

You can keep your wrestling.. and stick it where the sun dont shine.

i used to watch wrestling all the time - i stopped a couple of years ago because it got REALLY, REALLY predictable, even the bits that are meant to be shocking

i've tried to get back into it but its still the same, watching the occasional bit gives a quick laugh - a bit like watching the Powerpuff Girls

Who said it was a sport, it´s entertainment.

Incidentally in my experience the bad guy wins more often than the good.

For anyone who does not think that these are athletes. Try to convince a professional boxer (pound for pound) to fight them.

Particularly the ones with Wrestling or UFC backgrounds.

Well pardon me for thinking it was meant to be a sport lol

Yes they are fit as hell.. well toned.. but so are dancers...its a fixed money making

scam.. Entertainment ???? I would rather watch paint dry..

Get some of them in the ring with a pro boxer ? only one winner me thinks !!
