I dunno...maybe gay porn? I'm getting sick of people who try to be clever by making wrestling sound gay...granted you have a little more footing than the assclowns that say DBZ is gay porn...but not by much...can't we all just stop being some homophobic and insecure?

I like wrestlers more than boxers actually. Boxing is the sport of the most retarded and overrated sport on the planet, and it's a tribute to human stupidity. Two guys. Trying to beat each other. up. with gloves. for millions of dollars.
I think professional sports are such a joke but boxing stoops lower than all of them.

Wrestling is just funny, like a circus or something, it's just guys who train and stuff to put up a funny show for people ( some with lesser intelect I'll admit) to enjoy. But I don't like it anyways.

Why do you say that? I think that they are overpaid, but professional sports are good. I dont watch them, because they are boring (except hockey because Ive played since I was a little kid). I just wanted to know why you said that.

Yeah, pro wrestling is entertainment, not sport.

But, the alternative is real, olympic-style wrestling and that's just boring.

Because they are so extremely overpaid. I mean, I understand why and all, but I can't understand why people will still pay 50$ for a place to watch a game they could watch on tv. Sure, it's "better" but 50$? that's just screwing people. It should cost 5$ and pro athletes should be paid 10x less, which would still be waaay to much.
I don't watch the either, and I don't have a problem with people who watch them, but they just make too much money. It's just immoral! But what are we gonna do...

There's nothing "gay" about it, as gay is not an insult.
Entertainment oriented wrestling however, is "fixed", and "fake". All of these "stunning" plot developments that seem to occur are written by writers hired by WWE, and really have little, if any truth behind them.

Why would two of the wrstlers claim to be gay for a week or so, and the fans are shocked, and then they admit they were only joking?

Or these so called rivalries between the "clans/groups/teams"? Why would a camera be filming something happening outside the ring? They just happen to catch every one of these publicity-gaining "unplanned" fights when they "confront" one another "outside".

Oh. I'm ranting. I just don't care for wrestling at all.

I don't know, I always chub up when I watch wrestling... It is kinda like gay porn.

Anyways Ted, the original definition of Gay is silly and foppish. Not everyone used the "new revised" definiton when they talk. I find the original definition to be appropriate and useful on many occasions. Unless when you watched the Flinstones and the theme song said "...We'll have a gay old time!" you just assumed certain facts about the "close" relationship between Fred and Barney, of course.

Ok, back onto topic,

I'm aware of that meaning of Gay, but with recent upsurge of homophobia, and the use of it as an insult, one can safely guess it is an insult and be rarely wrong.

I do so love it when the internet clans act all important and smart...I mean really...do any of these internet gangs even matter much cept to make friends? That's the only reason I really join any of them...

Anyway, yeah, we all know wrestling is fixed, and the guys aren't trying to hurt each other (though accidents happen) it all comes down to suspending you're disbelief (as you do with any movie or television show) and enjoy what's being presented to you, if you can't do it, than don't watch it. It's that simple...don't know why people need to attack it like it's some tool of corruption or something, honestly...nobody gets pissed about boxing (oh so delightfully fixed) or the Patriots vs. Rams Superbowl game (if you bet money AGAINST the Patriots...I feel bad for you). Anyway, my little rant for the day is done.

I don't know about the other sports being fixed, as I don,t follow any of them whatsoever.
I don't follow wrestling either, but from what I've seen it's not because it's fixed that it's not s sport. Seriously, these guys have to train to get them's muscles, and to make the moves they make, and after that, they have to give the crowd some bang for their buck, so they have to run around, throwing a 250 guys across the ring and such. That's pretty athletic if you ask me.

Finally, it is my last day on duty and tomorrow I am off for a long holiday. Spent the whole day cleaning and packing. Of course, some stuff did not fit in my only 2 suitcases so I decided to go on a charity marathon. I packed a bag full of clothes and took down the place where you give your clothes to the poor (Forgot my shoes, gonna run back there with a pair tomorrow morning). Then I found a good £5 of 1cent coins. I must be the first person to spend half an hour walking around town looking for a homeless guy to give money to. When I finally spotted one, I'm sure I became the first one to ever approach one myself and say "Excuse me, would you like some change? I have a whole bag for ya!". Needless to say, he did look some change and was quite surprised from what I could tell. I'm happy too and feel naughty, maybe it's time to masturbate and then report my crimes to Dr.A on "Illegalize Masturbation" thread.
Anyhow, I am off to sleep now and I'll see you all in some 5 days or so.

From what I read, most of you though I was using gay as an insult to pro wrestling. Not true, I was using gay to describe what How I find 2 grown men constantly groping each other.

Groping each other in Speedos and boots. Although I do find wrestling to be quite entertaining I don't give a jizz about the WWF or WWE or whatever it's called. I'm a big fan of extreme wrestling and backyard wrestling. Instead of hitting each other with chairs they hit each other with flaming 2x4s, neon lightbulbs and baseball bats covered in barbed wires. It's really big in Japan where they take things even further and they have a type of match where after a determined amount of time the ring catches on fire or one opponent has to shove the other in a light projector.

But yeah the mainstream stuff is boring.

I've never liked any pro wrestling. It's all junk, and not very entertaining. It's so fake, it made me question my own existence after just five minutes of watching.

I like seeing the ladies wrestle, however.

Yes, we all know that wrestling is fake and if you still claim that wrestiling is real you're living in denial. However, I don't see why everyone's argument for wrestling-bashing is "It's fake". Movies are fake, does that make them any less entertaining than real life?

That's what I said. "fakeness" is just the way of other athletes of bashing wrestling. They must be jealous somehow. To bad for them : p

Avie, seriously, you're scaring me there. You're starting to hate someone because of a debate, and that's something I'm against > < I saw that thread, and he didn't insult you whatsoever and his arguments have a logical basis. I don't want you to make enemies or something. Like, take me and DBF, we had an argument in a topic, and I don't hate him, I'd even like to cinsider him a friend, but that's up to him.

Take it cool Avie, cool :)

Except, if you look at how much alot of these team franchises make, much of the time 25mil is a pretty fair share seeing as how much they contribute to generating a fan-base. Even without ticket sales, they still get immense amounts of revenue from other sources. I remember Jr. High where not regularily wearing an item of clothing with the name of some sports team/star athlete meant you automatically had no friends.

However, when you have governments funding teams at taxpayer expense, then yes, 25mil is more than excessive. It's no longer a question of how much they contribute to the franchise alone but how much they contribute to society as a whole... which is pretty much nothing, IMO.
