Ok, well as one of those people, I will help you to understand our viewpoint a bit more. Movies are designed specifically to tell a story. Generally speaking, they are meant to at least look real. They capture the imagination as few other things do. Wrestling, on the other hand, pretends to be a sport. To me, sports are entertaining specifically because the athletes are engaged in real competition. Don't get me wrong, I'm not underestimating the athletic prowess of pro wrestlers. I do understand the athleticism necessary for what they do. But I would rather watch athletes use their athleticism for competition rather than acting. If I want a story, I'd much rather see a nice film. Just my opinion.

The problem is that people think WWE or TNA or ROH, etc. when they hear the term 'wrestling'. Obviously, not all wrestling is fake.

Anyway, yes, wrestling is 'fake', but it is also real. The stories are written by a 'creative team' (which suck), and the moves are obviously timed and executed so that no one gets hurt, but they still really fly off the ropes and do flips and jump from high levels....they still get injured, and even die.

Wrestling is a soap opera, but it is also one where people can get seriously injured, or worse.

Not just trying to stick up for it because I am a fan, I just kinda hate how people don't really take in to consideration the shit these guys and girls put their bodies through on a daily basis.

Uh.... I thought I conceded that point in my post? I have plenty of respect for the shit they put their bodies through. It's just that personally, as a fan, I would prefer to watch people put their bodies through that shit for the purposes of defeating their opponent, not to follow a script.

I know how to read, thank you, I was making a point that it isn't all fake so people who hate wrestling 'because it's fake' are being a little ignorant. Plus, if you read the first part of MY quote, you obviously are one of the people who fall in to that category.

You jumble all wrestling together when there is wrestling and there is 'sports entertainment' wrestling.

=)

Also, in the script, they ARE defeating their opponent, lolololol


I never said you DIDN'T have respect whatsoever in my post. I was countering your post with facts about wrestling, not OMG U HAVE NO RESPECT////


Do you watch any other type of wrestling? Like, the ones that are not scripted television shows?

Would you like it better if the storylines didn't suck ass?

80's/90's wrestling was the best. After that, wrestling went balls up.

I'm not crazy about wrestling either, but yeah, I do agree that it's stupid to stereotype wrestling like that

It would be like saying that all anime is either something like Bleach or something like Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan
 
Hating wrestling because 'it's fake' is silly. So, is 24 real? Or Lost?

(Hate to tell ya braaaaah, that's fiction... Shhhhh).

You're illiterate and shouldn't be on a Laptop right now. :rolleyes:

Anyways, I seriously hate when people slurp their food.. That shit is so annoying. Especially when they're eating Crab Legs or Crayfish.. I seriously get up and go into my room so I don't have to hear that noise.
 
That KFC is so close, yet so far from my house.
Its close enough that I know its there, but its so damn far that I refuse to walk it. And catching a bus just for KFC? No thank you, I'm black enough.

People who say "crayfish."
 
I'm watching the Republican national convention on PBS

This party pisses me off so much. They're subliminally targeting Middle Class White Men (and a few women) who are tired of this black president taking over "their" country.

"We Built It" "Take Our Country back" All this subliminal shit is really irking me.

And of course no GOP political strategy is complete without talking about smaller government and lowering taxes, which is ironic for them..
