So I started watching pro wrestling.

[BurningGold]

Recently my little brother (seven) started watching pro wrestling.
He got really in to it, so whenever its on (four nights a week) he forces me to watch it with him.
To be honest, I find it annoying.
Randy Orton, Edge, John Cena, and Chris Jericho are some of the most annoying fucks I have ever seen in my life.
However.... None of them are annoying as this fucking bitch. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5bh_aj7Y8o&feature=related)
Anyways yeah, I don't like the WWE. Its annoying. Plus all the fake fighting is really lame.

Your thoughts?

i find its funny that so many Americans enjoy going to what is technically theater.

I think its funny that they all enjoy such bad written theater.

[Loli Defense Force]

It was amusing on those nights when there was nothing to do, and when the wrestlers were still at least somewhat interesting, and when I didn't know what the word "Gay" meant >:

Question.

How gay does this picture look to you?

I find pro wrestling the stupidest fuckshit out there.

Literally. Same with reality tv

[Sinfulwolf]

I've never gotten into wrestling, never really been tempted to watch it. As has been said, it is essentially theatre. Actually... closer to a violent balet.

[Rule 34]

Hah. I'm somewhat of a fan myself. My theory is that you have to be suckered in at a young age before it loses it's magic.
I do agree though, Vickie Guerrero's voice is annoying as hell. Kind of makes you forget that she does this job to feed her children after her husband - also a wrestler - died.

[Caulder]

Wrestling. As stupid a 'sport' as Golf.

[DarkFire1004]

You're joking right? Golf can really get exciting. If you watch a match these days, it's no longer just quiet golf clapping and silent ball hitting.

[ToxicShock]

I golf. Although I play nearly every other sport known to mankind, I'm most tired at the end of golf.

Probably cuz it frustrates the living hell out of you in high temperatures. People go to "relax," meanwhile, I'm two steps away from getting in a fistfight with my dad.

[Caulder]

Lol. I'm half Scottish, and I hate Golf.

[Pheonix Alugere]

All I have to say is I've never seen the point in watching sports. If you play them then it's a contest of skill against the other person, but watching has no point.

[ToxicShock]

Agreed to so many degrees. I can't play sports video games either. My garage is filled with all the equipment they're using on my screen, why don't I just fucking do it myself?

[Obeliskos]

Don't you dare compare reality TV to garbage like pro wrestling!

(even though the only thing I like is Real World...)

Also, golf is awesome, don't diss it. I like seeing how many times I can yell "FORE, MOTHERFUCKER!" before getting kicked out.

[Caulder]

"FORE, MOTHERFUCKER!"

My quote of the day.

That should be the other way around. At least in wrestling everyone knows it's scripted and the actors aren't deliberately humiliating themselves.

I don't really like pro-wrestling either, though.

[dmronny]

I used to watch it when I was a lot younger, before I actually got into the playing of sports myself. I find it to be pretty stupid, but it's no worse than most movies or other television in general.

Pheonix, I'm surprised. You can't understand the appeal of watching someone pull of a spectacular move, like just about every fight scene in every movie and video game ever? You can't understand the appeal in viewing feats of skill you couldn't possibly do yourself, without at the very least putting in many hours of training per sport per day?

Have you ever enjoyed watching someone play a videogame, then? I guess not, because if you play them it's a contest of skill against the AI, but watching has no challenge.

Have you ever enjoyed listening to someone playing music, then? I suppose not, because if you play music it's a contest of skill against yourself, but watching has no challenge.

And that’s only one of the multiple manners in which people can get enjoyment from watching something…

I take it you find both of these examples clearly boring, and something no one could get enjoyment from?

That being said, pro-wrestling does suck.

EDIT: Oh, and happy birthday! *Grins*

There's a difference between taking in the final product of someone else's (or some team of someone else's) creative process, and viewing a competition between two people (or teams).

I find watching sports to be incredibly dull but, say, watching a live play can be pretty exciting. In the former, it wouldn't matter if I were watching or not... the competition's got nothing to do with me. In the latter, the entire point of the play is to convey a message, so that while the actors might not be directly interacting with me, there's a definite message being passed on from the creative team.

[Nunu]

i think pro wrestling's message can be best described by the song "now your a man" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiXaT_1I-vw) by DVDA

Because It Works (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1Ye9m_npYY) :p
Though it could have been slightly better. Only slightly.

Anyways.

I use to enjoy 'pro' wrestling when there were actual characters, like Stone Cold, The Rock, even ..... agh, what was his name... McFoley, that's it. People like Snow, Triple H, hell, even Vince. Nowadays, it's complete and utter shit. Hell, the only reason I watched for as long as I did when apparently Vickie or w/e took over was because The Undertaker was still there.

It's now a drama that has lost steam.

I also think it's funny that wrestling is about the only Soap Opera people will admit to watching... then again, most people may not realize that YES, that IS what you're watching.

If you want real wrestling, go find something that ISN'T being filmed, 'for legal reasons'.

[Nunu]

pffft... hulk hogan man...

plus anyone who thinks yours is better obviously has never seen orgazmo.

[Kusanagi]

Not saying the vid I posted was better, just that it worked out well Nunu :p

And yes, BG, they need to watch that XD

[BurningGold]

I liked the guys idea to combind the WWE with Street fighter.

The only real sport to watch is Smash TV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smash_TV), you guys. Jeez.

Didn't you know that in the year 1999, people became so jaded by normal reality TV shows that the only thing that would do it for them was the ultraviolence of SMASH TV? I read about it. In a study. Possibly in the opening credits.

[Twisted]

The Wrestler was an excellent movie, by the way...

I hate wrestling. I just watched the movie because it was a movie by Darren Aronofsky. I liked it. A lot.
Went into some of the fake parts of it, backstage, talking about how they're going to go through the match, and even some of the blood parts (at one point, the character had hidden a razor in his thing, took it out, and cut his forehead with it)

I really liked it. Really a lot.
