Which attributes of Wrestling do you most enjoy.
 

Feel free to select all that apply.

Getting Drunk and watching it. Is that an attribute? Oh, and Broken Arms/Legs

Burning the ref.

Crap - was supposed to be public and multiple choice. I feel like body-slamming somebody now.

I've never watched a wrestling match. It's stupid.

Dude, you're wrestling's target demographic - mid-20's virgins living in Mom's basement. Get on the ball, Bobba Fett.

I think I am most impressed by their ability to do this crap every week. Seriously, what kind of magician's trick allows one to be piledriven repeatedly, be thrown 10 feet out of the ring on top of a table, be smacked across the back with a metal folding chair and still wrestle the next week. I realize the matches aren't real and that the wrestlers are not really trying to hurt one another but, still... some of that stuff has to hurt.

The talk about moms basement and the trailer park is so 1980s. In a month or so, the WWEs annual Wrestlemania show is going to be at Ford Field in Detroit where the last Super Bowl was. Sold out, 80,000 people, with ticket prices starting at just under 1000 bucks a pop. Live in the now.

I believe the moms basement still applies in context here.

If I knew that much about wrestling, I would want to live in the "real" world. IMHO.

Especially if it cost a $1000 dollars a pop with the outcome determined before you pay.

Hope you enjoy the show.

I thought the $500 for the indy game I spent was bad, now I feel better..........

Live in the real world.

Hey you're from Iowa. That's not wrestling.

It's a show -- entertainment -- and [nearly] everyone who watches it knows that. It combines athletic competition elements with the characters and plots and such from the theater or television, etc.

Plenty of people enjoy the combination of elements, apparently.

It is nice that the NBA has a training ground for their refs.

ROFL ROFL GoChiefs at a star wars convention in about ten years.

Thank God....I am not the ONLY one to realize that WWE etc. is NOT wrestling. It's GREAT athletes, putting on a scripted play.

Awesome. I'm still looking for the "it's not fake" type of fan.

I'd love to run into one, too. I'd have a field day with him.

Wheres the Women of Wrestling option...

Remember Elizabeth...randy the macho man savage's manager....she was the first hottie


Trish Stratus...where the hell is that option at

NO GAZ OPTION

I call mis-deal

You suck at teh interweb.

1) That only proves there are 80,000 pieces of white trash who made the hitchhike from trailer park to stadium.

2) "ticket prices starting at just under 1000 bucks a pop." Really? Unless you have proof to the contrary I'm calling bullshit on this one.
Even if it was this expensive it doesn't change a thing: pouring syrup on shit does not make it pancakes.

3)The reference to GoChiefs living in his mom's basement is not, in fact, a thing of the '80's but a thing of today. n00b.

I'm guessing the parking lots surrounding Ford Field will become one giant meth lab that day. I honestly don't understand how anybody can enjoy spectatorship of oily roided up men embracing one another and dancing around in a ring for 20 minutes. It's absolutely baffling.

According to ticketmaster, the highest price tickets are 750. That's probably only the first 5 rows or so.

Wheres the option for...


Tag Teaming Brooke Hogan...while wearing a boa and yellow tights at??

Yeah, that sounds more like it. Thanks.
The day fake wrestling commands ticket $$ comparable to the biggest corporate love-fest in the U.S. (superbowl) will be a strange day indeed.

Big titted skanky looking women.

The jello wrestling in movie STRIPES

To be fair, an outsider could easily point at you and wonder why you enjoy watching large men run and tackle each other on a field for 60 minutes.

Now that you mention it, my football fandom is pretty ridiculous. I really need a new hobby.

the bra and panty chick fights

My Grandmother (R.I.P.) was one of them. I remember walking through the house, noticed her watching it. I blurted out that the stuff was fake and OMG, she vehemently defended the crap.

Kemper Arena and safety harnesses.




Sorry that was a terrible sickening joke. I was acutally 30ft away from where Hart fell. Kinda weird really.

Wrestling was awesome in the late 90's and turn of the century. After Rock and Austin left wrestling just went to shit. The stars they have now are just horrible and you couldnt pay me to go to an event now and I think everyone is tired of seeing HHH winning all the time. I used to go to RAW in KC and STL everytime they came into town. There's just no star power anymore and probably wont be for a long time. UFC is getting more and more publicity by the day and IMO will become larger than the wrestling venue.

C'mon. Lighten up. It's a modern day traveling circus. It's the freak show in all its glory. It's a a soap opera for guys. It's goofy fun that will make you chuckle...if you don't make the mistake of taking it too seriously.



Do you get pissed when you go see a movie because it was scripted? Are you annoyed that most television shows have been pre-recorded and that the end is as certain as death and taxes? Are you still mystified by the clown car and do you feel the need to denounce it as impossible to the others at your local circus?


Relax and let a little goofiness into your life. It won't hurt. I promise.

I presume that diatribe was typed for my benefit?

You do know who you're talking to, right?

A little goofiness has long permeated every fiber of my being. I don't need wrestling (nor the globetrotters) to help me relax.

I used to like wrestling back in the day when Hogan, Savage, Andre the Giant, Iron Sheik wrestled. Those were the "glory days" of wrestling and I loved watching them.

Today not so much but I did enjoy watching the Rock and Austin when they were around. Today the only real star the WWE has is HHH at least on RAW.

I admit I watched it religiously when WCW was at its prime, especially during the height of the "NWO" campaign. I would never miss Nitro or Thunder, and i'd occasionaly flip to RAW.

IMO it went downhill with the "Stone Cold Steve Austin" shit. It was no longer the good guys vs the bad guys, it was the bad guys vs "the man", the man being Vince McMahon and the administration. WWF(E) started resorting to shock value for entertainment all the while whipping out ridiculous story lines that only children or very low brow reeruns would appreciate. WCW had to compete, so it catered to redneck morons as well, and that is when I stopped watching. When Bret Hart retired, I stopped watching all together.

The style turned me off as well. There used to be ring technicians who would make you believe what was going on, now it is all about camera presence, make up, coconut oil, and who can stomp the loudest on the ground to make the punches sound "real". It is no longer wrestling, it is just punching and kicking with the occasional arm-bar clothesline. No more submission moves, no more lucha libres, just a bunch of roided up wannabe actors.

<------- THIS GUY

Also, Ring of Honor is pretty rad.

Jay Lethal vs. Curry Man
Samoa Joe in a comedy match vs. Delirious, Jack Evans, and EBESSAN
Low-Ki vs. KENTA
Delirious cuts an amazing promo on the greatest wrestler in the world, Bryan Danielson
Joe and Danielson vs. KENTA and Marufuji

$750 for a ticket is not that far off from "just under 1000". I'm just saying.

Last wrestling match I ever saw (the whole thing) was The Rock vs. Hogan.

My 2 all time favorite wrestlers competing at Wrestlemania. I didn't even care who won, I was just shocked because I never thought I'd ever see that match.

I remember the event titled "Icon vs. Icon" lol.

WCW lost out in the end because of stupid petty infighting and their managements allegiance to guys like Hogan and Kevin Nash....Eventually all of their talented wrestlers took off to the WWF and they were screwed, screwed well before they went to really stupid storylines.

Steve Austin almost single handedly started the mainstream wrestling boom of that time, he in essense saved the WWF which had been getting creamed by WCW until he came around.

You are probably already aware.......but Tornado's gonna be on WSX.

No shit. In turn, he ruined it.

I wouldn't really say he ruined it. There are peaks and valleys in wrestling, before the NWO took off in 96-97 wrestling in general had been bad been for several years. They'll continue to try to latch onto what caused the last boom till they find the new niche. Vince tried to hold onto the 80's boom forever until eventually they changed.

They just simply don't have the same sort of roster they once had or the overall talented guys. Guys like Rock and Austin are once in a life time performers and they're gone now.

Everything that was the attitude era the late 90s early 2000's peaked in 2001 at Wrestlemania 17 which is one of the greatest wrestling shows ever done.

So after that there is going to be years of downswing and staleness it's the nature of the business.

Because it's real.

So do you not enjoy CSI because it's fake......

I don't watch CSI.

I enjoy the Rufus R. Jones, Bob Geigel, Handsome Harley Rack, and the Baron von Raushke attributes most.

Not to leave out Danny Little Bear, Andre the Giant, either.

CSI is not fake.

As long as you get the point I was making.....

Remember the twin ladies from "Championship Wrestling?" They made that show!

I don't. Which point were you making? Comparing CSI and wrestling is akin to comparing Brad Pitt to you. One is a highly successful world famous superstar and one is a dork with a mullet.

Look, wrestling is stupid. It's one of the lowest forms of entertainment out there. It's on par with cockfighting, except that in cockfighting there's more drama.

I enjoy the baiting tactic......only a complete fool could miss that point.

So low that it's been around since the early 1900's........and that the guys working for the WWE are making atleast 100 grand a year....

Doesn't make any difference. It's still ****ing stupid.

Well I think Nascar is ****ing stupid but someone is out there watching that.......

There you go. That's a perfect example. NASCAR and Wrestling go hand in hand. Although even I'll admit that Wrestling is more entertaining.

Are you saying that I'm some strange minority because I like wrestling and hate Nascar?

There's more drama in Nascar too.

Definitely. It's no coincidence that you have an awful beard and a shaggy, unattractive mane. Search your feelings, Mecca, you know you want to wear this hat.

How the **** is this thread still going?

I have no idea. Evidently there's a lot of wrestling dorks who want to come out of the closet.

**** that.........

WWE sucks 8 kinds of ass right now, but Ring of Honor is still great stuff. There's a new show coming up on MTV called Wrestling Society X that has a lot of ROH guys on the roster.

But who can forget the Rufus R. Jones Headbutt?

When he'd come back to life after a pile driver?

As kids, we'd live off that stuff!

.....The "Iron Claw!"

It just ain't the same!

Guys do better stuff than that now.......the athletic talent of wrestlers in general has come a long way.

The 80s reference in question was that guys living in their basement were wrestlings target audience, not anything about GoChiefs specifically. Try to keep up.

Has anyone mentioned the naked oiled-up female aspect of it yet?

This is the dumbest thread in history. Where is the I can't believe anyone watches this crap option? And no Gaz option? Phil I think you've reverted to a n00b :)

Dave

Here is an interesting question for a poll. Which would be dumber, not knowing that pro wrestling is fake, or letting yourself get hosed by Nick Athan because you\'re one of the only people on earth who cant see what a fraud he is? Phobia and GoChiefs, be sure to vote. LMAO

Dave Lane continues to prove himself as one of the smartest planeteers.

I haven't been hosed by Nick.

I tried, but the detractors keep wanting to bring it back to the issue of sweaty muscular guys in tights. Not that I'm drawing any conclusions, fellows. Don't ask, don't tell.

That hurts me deeply. In fact I'm tempted to give you a rep pile-driver.

There's 6 years of documentation on this site that I'm a moron - no surprise there.

But wrestling is still dumber.

It was designed in about 3 minutes and aimed at ruining Mecca's night. I had no idea it would grow legs.

When was your last payday?

So have steroids.

Steroids don't enable you to do lucha style.......
