Having Been Clotheslined..
BY far better athlete than Pro Wrestlers I'll guarantee I can take it.
LOL. I've seen a Pro Wrestling camp. They teach you to take a fall. The whole match is scripted and the "wrestler" knows where and when he'll be hit.

ROFL!!! Well, if anyone could say it, Moses can.😀 Hide behind me, for I too say, FAAAAKE!!!!! NEENER!!!!😀
Fake or real is not the issue. It is entertainment one way or another and one's personal beliefs should not be attacked. Doing so will get your posts deleted. Continuously doing so will get you banned from posting here.
Threats of personal violence will get you tossed as well. Back to your neutral corners and let's have a clean fight....er uh I mean civil discussion....If you have personal issues, take them off forum .
This means everyone. Not just the main contenders of idiocy.

Dammit, and I thought I was safe there for a moment...
Peopl:, figure-fours hurt. Stiff-armed clotheslines hurt. Five-star frog-splashes from the top tuen-buckle hurt like buggery fook, because there *is* no way to fake someone smashing there ribcage into yours, from a very respectable height, nor is there any real way to not take the pain when someone who's very big and often just as heavy smahses his body into yours. The story lines and the ego's may be fake (well, *some* of the ego's, at least 😉 ), but I respect every single one of those guys who climb into that wring to give me a performance that puts themselves, and other people, at risk, simply because they can and they love it. And because of that, I love it too. It's totaly OTT, silly, laughable, and unreal...and its exactly what I want to see when I get home from a shitty day at work.
So go figure.

Scripted? Fake? To coin a phrase, "Well, F*@&ing DUH!" However........
Let anyone contend that these people aren't ATHLETES. They work friggin' hard at what they do, and to have those physiques. And I'd bet ya a dollar that they'd easily twist any pencil-necked geek here into a pretzel that told them to their faces that they weren't. It's just entertainment, people. Give it a rest.

Hmmm
You know Martin Sheen isn't the presadent right? (I love that responce)
Wrestling is as fake as falling of a 20 foot latter onto a concreat floorm, with a 4 intch tumbling mat to protect you when you land can be. Put that in your pipe and smoke it Mosses.

I find no redeeming value whatsoever in TV wrestling. It's beyond fake. It's downright goofy and an embarrassment to the entertainment industry, right down there with Jerry Springer and those god-awful daytime court shows. It in no way comes close to resembling a sport of any kind. At least shows like Friends and such have decent actors. "Professional Wrestling"? The term is just another oxymoron, right along side "Jumbo Shrimp" and "Rap Music." I flip through the channels and sometimes catch a glimpse of it and think, "This is what people in hell are forced to watch." I used to think it would require a frontal labotomy with a cheese grater to diminish someone's IQ down to the sub-atomic level appropriate for such programming. Now, I'm thinking a butter knife will suffice, or perhaps even a number 2 pencil.
ever notice that people who do not like pro-wrestling, always have the SAME ONE comment? it seems like everyone who dislikes pro-wrestling all say "it's fake". well, no s*** sherlock! we wrestling fans are not out here saying that the Undertaker really was buried alive and Kane is his real brother. we all know it is scripted. my goodness, why is that the ONLY complaint you have? pro wrestling is ENTERTAINING!!! people watch soap operas, some people watch Seinfeld, some of us watch pro wrestling. what is wrong with that?
now for those who say that pro wrestlers are not "REAL" athletes. explain Kurt Angle who won an Olympic Gold medal in 1996 in wrestling. he's not an athlete? how about Bill Goldberg who used to play in the NFL. Stone Cold Steve Austin used to play football for North Texas State. the Rock used to play for the Miami Hurricanes next to Warren Sapp. these guys arent athletes?
have any of you wrestler haters ever been i a figure four leglock? it hurts like hell. ever been in a camel clutch? it hurts like hell. yes, they teach them how to fall, but that is because they dont want to hurt anyone. why is it that certain people (who claim to have played in the NFL and is supposedly a tough guy) think that these men and women who are in pro wrestling are "sissies". explain why athletes in the major pro sports R-E-S-P-E-C-T what they pro wrestlers do. explain why they imitate pro-wrestler moves such as Booker T's hand gesture, or wear a replica of the world title belt (Clinton Portis) during a game? why is it that guys like Karl Malone, Lawrence Taylor and others participated in pro-wrestling? they know how hard they work and what type of athlete you have to be to do what they do. i DARE anyone who thinks wrestling is just one big acting script to go to a wrestling school, talk the trash that you do, and let's see how far you make it through the school. talk is cheap. why dont you show them how "easy" and "sissified" their jobs are. otherwise shut your trap because you know nothing. if you dont want to try pro wrestling yourself, dont criticize and make baseless claims.
we wrestling fans like watching wrestling just as much some people like to watch "Friends". it is our form of entertainment. you dont see us going around saying how "fake" Friends is do you?

Oh my Gaaaaaawd...
I can't believe the response this has gotten...
Sorry, did I also mention that I took a wrestling/tickling survey on the grounds of a pre-school without the hall monitor's permission?
Ok, ok, I get it, now... NO tickling surveys of any kind...NO dissing wrasslin' (can you smeeeell what the CRock is cookin'?!?)...and, under NO circumstances should an African boobie be displayed during a Super Bowl half-time show...
YOU GUYS ARE CRACKED!!!
I'm sorry, I don't normally share this website with my cronies in the office, but they gotta see this one...
Cheers.😀

Once again, we have all been fooled into a thread which we *thought* was a sensible discussion, but was, in fact, an excuse to inflate Moses' already considerably bloated ego that little bit further.
Go get a life that goes beyond baiting people twice your maturity, old man, and trouble me no more...

If you know it's fake, and you still support it, shame on you. You say it's entertainment, that realism isn't important. I don't believe you. If this were true of wrestling fans, the producers wouldn't bother with the "wrestlers'" workouts and the steroids. They'd just use real actors and CGI special effects to achieve the "stunts" and they'd look a lot better then some pumped up dufus stomping on the floor to create his own sound effects. If realism wasn't important to you, you wouldn't be touting the merits of scissor holds and clotheslines. So don't tell us that you know it's fake, because you obviously don't.
Yes, I enjoy Friends, Seinfeld, X-Files and other shows of fiction. Yes, I know they aren't real, but I enjoy them just the same. So what's the difference? The fact that anybody could seriously ask this question is a disturbing sign of how brain-dead our culture is becoming. The shows I mention have some thought to them. Somebody actually exercised some gray matter to come up with plots and dialogue that are funny, clever, and thought-provoking. The real TV shows have actors that possess talent. They portray people and situations with a degree of believability. The actors in Professional Wrestling are of the lowest calibre in Hollywood, even below the daytime soap operas.
It's like the producers go out of their way to make the show as slipshod and cheesy as possible, and yet loyal fans in trailor parks across America still watch in awe. I can only hope that the Darwin principles are still active in humanity.

Well, judgeing by yuor last post Drew, they clearly aren't.
Wrestling done in CGI? With actors? Pray tell, where would you find the *money* to do such a thing? Just because such special effects are prevailent in the entertainment industry doesn't mean that they come cheap, and I doubt that actors capable of doing proper stunts the likes of which a proffessional wrestler could pull off without breaking a sweat are cheap either. Especially when the weekly shows are an hour long, and the ppv's are thrice time that. So that whole little tirade about us fans not realising that it's fake is entirely redundant...we *know* that parts of it are entirely unreal, and we accept it with a grin and "oh well, what the hell" attitude. I happen to be a philosophy student, so I'd like to think I have a *far* better grasp on what's real and what is not than you, monsiuer, and I dare say that some of those moves really, really hurt when I see them pulled off.
I also love it how you've turned this into some sort of class issue..."trailor-park people" refferences et al. Well, that just about shows *your* level of intelligence in this debate, does it not? Clearly you can see, from the number of people who are fans on this board, that wrestling cuts across a fair few boundaries. It's hardly family viewing in some senses, and obviously it divides people just as much as it brings them together, but my enjoyment of one show that I watch twice a week to make me smile a little more hardly makes me an idiot now, does it? That was a rhetorical question, by the way: The answer you were looking for there was "No AT, it doesn't. How right you are."
Class dismissed.
Because the Stone Cold Admiral said so.

Gee...I thought this was just a silly little post!
When I was much younger my uncles would tease me about wrestling being fake. Now back then I was sure Bruno hated The Sheik and there was no changing my mind. My grandfather would sit on the couch and throw shadow punches while watching the Saturday afternoon wrestling on channel 11. When I was older and realized I was watching a soap opera for men I STILL liked it because it became a guessing game at where the story line would go and how the "good guy" would always keep getting the short end until the very end. Then wrestling changed. Now its so bloated and predictable. There is very little competition between companies. Its much more boring to me. Plus now I'm 34 and I don't studio wrestle with my buddies and so I have no need to watch it. Wrestling was a community thing for me. Whether it was with my grandparents or my firends, we could watch and cheer and argue about plots and wrestlers. Now I do that with CSI and the Sopranos. Its all candy for your brain...yes its fake...no I don't care.

Aye, I'll agree that it's getting worse, but it's had its moments, and I dare say that it still has potential to entertain like it used to...we'll just have to wait and see.
