Nope, brother is but we are quite polar opposites in a fair bit of ways.

No definitely not. I use to like the WWF but I was like ten at the time (25+ years ago).

As far as I am concerned 'Wrestling' is the male equivalent of soap operas (and bad soaps at that).

As a high school wrestler i resent my sport being referred to as a soap opera. Furthermore, Tv shows such as wwf and TnA are mockeries of what the sport really is and anyone who refers to such shows as wrestling have no clue what wrestling is really about . Sorry, no intention to flame just sticking up for my sport.

me and my buddies used to do WWE wrestling on a trampoline, we used to take the time out to figure out how to do the bone crusing moves without crushing any bones haha. I just kinda fazed out of it, it became uninteresting.

Maybe you need to be a high school English student. He put it in quotes: 'wrestling'. That indicates that he meant to point out that it's not real wrestling.

Perhaps personal attacks are against the Sub Sim rules

Attack? You expressed resentment erroneously. I merely pointed out that fact.

I'm pretty sure that, using the acronyms "WWE" and "TNA" in the very TITLE OF THIS THREAD made it quite clear that the context was in the sense of the enterprise of ENTERTAINMENT labelled as wrestling, and not the sport you played in highschool.

It seems only prudent to consider the meaning behind a post well-before taking offense to it. Anything else is, well, highschool drama-queen-esqu.

I'll flick it on when it's on and watch it. Since Ric Flair retired and Undertaker hasnt got much gas left in him, there hasnt been much of a willingness for me to follow it.

I like that Vladimir Kozlov dude though. He looks like a beast.

Sailor Steve was quite correct, I was not referring to Olympic style wrestling. That is why I surrounded the word wrestling in single quotation marks, which are referred to as ironic or scare quotes. They indicate that the word is not being used in a standard manner; in this case that that which is called wrestling in this thread is not real wrestling.

He simply pointed out that you did not understand what I had written, which isn't correcting your grammar. It wasn't a personal attack as frankly you could do with spending a bit more time in English class if you do not yet fully understand how quotation marks are used.

Further you were obviously referring to my first post in this thread as I was the only one who had compared 'Wrestling' to a soap opera, which is what you took offense to.

Anyhow this post isn't a personal attack against you. Nor was my first post a personal attack against anyone for liking 'Wrestling', as there are plenty of people who like soap operas too.
