I think Jim Cornette is entertaining as hell, BUT he honestly strikes be as the type who'd be a major asshole.

Infact, I think the business is full of assholes. I mean really.....you'd have to be an overgrown little boy to wanna be a wrestler, or even want to be in that business. Not disrespect intended, but think about it: Wrestling is no different then playing "make-believe".

All my dealings with him, and others that I've known dealing with him - he never came off as an asshole in any way. Passionate about the business & about helping others, and keeping things in a way that makes sense & will draw money.

You are correct about the business being full of assholes. And I mean FULL. A vast majority of the guys are just so fucking immature, selfish, and in reality, useless at anything else other than wrestling. They are there for no one but them & don't want to part with anything they have - even when it's for the good of others.

They also love to complain about every little thing, as if the job they do now is as tough as the wrestling business was 25-30 years ago, or more. Beyond ridiculous.

lol what a twat.

1. It's still a sport, and an art, just because it's not 'real fighting'.
2. Are all actors, performers, entertainers 'overgrown little boys' for playing 'make-believe'.

You're on the internet posing as an evil clown. Don't you like create prank calls or something too?

Yes. I am a man-child. I never claimed not to be.

Wrestling is not a sport. It's a fake sport. If it's a sport, how come no one keeps score? How come win/loss records are not kept up with? How come results never appear on the news? It has more in common with theater then a sport. I'm not typing that wrestling isn't dangerous, and that I have no respect for it. I do, but stunt work is an art too, and very dangerous, but hardly anyones notices or respects them, and their work is not consider a "sport". It's consider entertainment.

The difference between acting and wrestling is the actors are not always play-fighting, and the characters don't always resort to violence to solve their problems.

Play-fighting lol jesus. The wrestlers do more than 'play-fight' anyway - you weird fuck.

I'm not gonna get into the age-old 'Wrestling is/isn't a sport' with you, because wrestling is unique and neither answer is really right, wrestling alone truly is 'sports entertainment'. Wrestling is covered on sports websites here in the UK though.

Out of curiosity, if your take on the wrestling business is the same tired criticism 2nd graders use, why would you even post on a wrestling message board?

As far as Corny goes, I love the guy. He's one of my favorites in the business. One of the few that not only have a true love and passion for it, but aren't afraid to call people out on their bullshit. He may be a bit hyperbolic at times with his frustration, but seeing as one of his heroes is George Carlin, you kind of have to just take his seething, unbridled, murderous hatred as his way of expressing himself.

I tell everyone I meet that I want Kanye West, Paris Hilton and Carlos Mencia shot in the head gangland style. Doesn't mean I plan on doing anything.

Weather? You mean "rather"?.......Ladies and gentlemen, a typical wrestling fan! Seriously, doesn't shock me you'd consider wrestling to be a real sport.

actually i meant 'Whether' rather than 'rather'

if you would kindly refer to my post where i actually stated the definition of sport, oh hell i'll just past it here

Quote:
sport (spôrt, sprt)
n.
1.
a. Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
b. A particular form of this activity.
2. An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.
3. An active pastime; recreation.
just because you can't bet on it and there are no real winners and losers, does not make it any less of a sport.

anyway when was the last time you bet on Angling (fishing) aka the worlds most popular sport?

In fishing, there's actual competition. No one lets the other guy win, and scores are actually kept. I think I've covered that already before too.....

I have a feeling I'm going to be reposting things I already typed a lot. That's usually how it goes when debating with internet "rasslin'" fans. For years, I've been known for repeating myself, but that's because some people refuse to respond, and just ignore my posts because they know they are wrong.

Do I really need to say more? Thank you for proving my point though. I'm glad Vince Lombardi will never see that above comment.
