Fake Wrestling..

Armistead · 04-20-11, 08:20 PM

This is really big entertainment and I've never got 1000's of adults males cheering a fake drama while men role over each other. Sure, as a kid in the 60's and 70's we watched it, it was big in NC. Just what is it that makes people pay some bucks to go out and watch this stuff? At least they use to pretend it was real. The acting is so terrible that it doesn't even have drama effect. The only thing I can see is babes, but I could think of better places to go see that.

I guess it's all across the board, seems Americans are hooked on fake fantasy reality shows to the point of addiction....just not sure what that says about us.

I've never understood the wrestling thing either.

When i was a kid Hulk Hogan and Sgt. Slaughter were cool!

but i was like seven years old

I dont remember the last time i watched wrestling... but i'd say it was prior to 1989 - perhaps earlier.

on another note: what about these people that defend it so staunchly as being real.

boy they get when you even hint that it is fake.

Another good indicator is seeing the retards in the crowds.

I loved it as a little kid, before I knew it was fake. Then I went through another phase in college where I did know it was fake, but me and my buddies would all sit around, drink beers and watch it for the trashy soap opera aspect of it.

To each their own.

I had some of my troops in the military like this. WWF was serious business. When wrestlemania came to town, a bunch of them told me that they would take leave or go awol to see it.

wrestling, just like everything else, deals with conflict in its story line
but unlike certain books, movies, operas, comics, etc

you see tough guys fight it out in wrestling
and people of all ages, political orientation, sexual orientation, etc love that

imagine political debates if the politicians fought it out, than political debates will become as popular as wrestling
