So let's say you meet somebody from the Middle East or a part of Africa that has never heard of professional wrestling before. How would you explain what pro wrestling is to them?

One good smack with a steel chair should suffice.

I would smack them upside their head with a chair then piledrive them. Then they'd know how serious business rasslin is.

It is a play, that you would see in a theater, that continues on weekly.

Gay: It's a soap opera with sweaty guys in almost nothing.

Not Gay: It's like UFC but a bit more over the top and a bit less real.

It's like a live-action comic book or a live-action cartoon presented in the same format as theater arts.

I wouldn't go through the problem of explaining pro wrestling to anyone. They can watch and either like it or not like it

That's how I explained it to my girlfriend and it seemed to work. Then again, she's neither African or from the Middle East. :shifty:

It's live theater about a sporting event where the characters' professional and personal lives are defined by what happens in the ring, whether it's a match or another kind of confrontation. It's sort of like a melodrama mixed with live stunt work with a little stand-up comedy thrown in to break it up.

I'd explain it and show videos of the sport held in several different countries and explain the similarities and differences between them all.

Congrats. You've made a form of entertainment that I love sound like a mind-numbingly boring college class.

To go the exact opposite way, I would explain, in detail, the Trish Stratus and Mickie James feud. And then at the end I'd be like "And it was all scripted."

Yeah that's quite possibly the worst serious idea in this thread.

It's a sport that combines honour, respect and the fighting spirit. It's extremely serious business, and calculations on the workrateometer can mean life or death.

Jerry Springer, except there's a mat with ropes and weapons are only allowed for certain fights. Once upon a time, there was nudity and cursing too, and then came.... the dark age of Cena.

It's one of the last forms of physical theater entertainment that exists. Actors/athletes play larger than life characters who settle their personal differences and compete for division championships inside of a boxing ring, utilizing amateur wrestling, martial arts, MMA and over the top maneuvers against one another. Like any play or show, the story is predetermined, as are the matches, and it is more about entertainment and spectacle than it is about real competition, although these athletes are some of the hardest working, toughest and at times most physically technical specimens in the world. You cheer your favorites and you boo those you hate, whether they are a good guy or a bad guy is irrelevant. The atmosphere at a live event is like nothing you've ever experienced before. And just like any weekly produced, live event like Saturday Night Live, there are hits and there are misses and there are inbetweens. But when pro wrestling hits on all cylinders, it is some of the greatest entertainment in the world.


SUCK IT.

I'd probably fuck off with the wrestling explanation and buy them a steak dinner because they've likely been living off boney rabbits and disease infested water their whole life.

Fuck is wrong with you?
