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. |

voncouch - I post here and still sometimes watch wrestling because I am a man-child. I can proudly admit it, and realize you have to be a goofy and immature guy to actually wanna watch wrestling. I'm not knocking the business. I just see it what it is. Even in Bret Hart's book, in the very title, he calls it "the cartoon world of wrestling".
......Which news sites NoRoolz? And I really don't see what is weird about calling wrestling "play fighting". That's exactly what it is. They're a bunch of guys pretending to hurt each other, and going, "OW, OW!". Reminds me of my grade school days. Seriously, have you read some of the stories in wrestler's books? These guys don't act like mature adults at all. They're overgrown little boys. Quote:
The wrestlers are not really competing unless you count the backstage drama. I'd say that is more like a sport.... |

Who cares if its a sport or not? Does the word sport have some superior meaning that would make wrestling better? No! So who fucking cares?

In regards of Jim Cornette - I have a different opinion on this now. If the cops knew half of the stuff I'd like to do to some people, I'm sure they'd want to arrest me. I've also typed some messed up stuff before on the internet. To the point many thought I was litreally insane. Women have actually stopped wanting to have anything to do with me because of the things they've seen me type when I was really mad or depressed. However, I never have and never will do any of the stuff I'd love to do because I know it's illegal, and deep in my heart where the good little boy I once was exist somewhere in there, and knows what I'd love to do is truly wrong. So forgive me please Jim. I gladly take back what I said. The wrestling world is full of assholes, and I think if you're not an asshole yourself once and a while, you're not going to make it very far and will just become another jobber. Nice guys finish last. Last edited by Zeeboe; 04-16-2010 at 06:50 PM. |

I'm not trolling. I've always seen wrestling as nothing more then entertainment. A male soap opera, a form of theater, a circus act, a live action comic book, or cartoon, etc. I don't see how anyone who can read "spoilers" before a show can actually see it as a sport.
Back in the 1800's, all the wrestlers you see today from little people to giants would be earning their living working for a freak show/circus, which is not that much different then what WWE is. Human emotions have never really changed. UFC, MMA, etc.....that's like modern day gladiator stuff. To Catch a Predator was like gladiator stuff too where they threw criminals to the lions. Not literally, but I think any smart person will catch my drift. Heck, a lot of other TV shows today are about human misery. Again, roman gladiator stuff. We humans have always found our entertainment in the misery of others. We feed off it. WWE wrestling is really no different, only it's a modern day freak show. It's more like a circus then the gladiator stuff, because in both the circus and wrestling world, the entertainers are pretty much getting you to believe something that is not true. Heck, where do you think the term "Mark" comes from? It came from the days of the old circus. People in the business called people who believed all the nonsense they saw "marks". Wrestling IS fake. I know that's a giant cliche, and always the first thing a non-wrestling fan will point out, but when it comes down to it, while the risks are very real, for the most part, those guys are not going out there trying to purposely hurt each other. They spend a lot of time, pain, and $ learning how NOT to hurt each other. If the wrestling we see on WWE TV and TNA TV was all real, I highly doubt many people would be wrestlers. At least in the MMA and UFC, there are rules, while in the world of wrestling, it's pretty much a free-for-all which some of the crazy matches they have. Also, I'm not sure how many wrestling fans you talk to, but all my life, I've come across plenty both online and offline. Pretty much all of them were guys, and all of them were young. Very few were over the age of 30, and those that were, were rednecks. Literally. I also have known plenty of indy wrestlers, and many will tell you....most of those fans are pure redneck trash. It's not just something that goes on here in the south either. Up North, in ECW land, most of those fans were always really freakin' whacky. Now I don't know how some of the guys behave over in England, but I doubt it's much different. I recall when HBK beat the British Bulldog back in 97', the fans wre throwing trash in the ring, which I know is something that goes on everywhere, and that's another good point.....how classy can you be if you're throwing freakin' trash in the ring? Come on, man...... I realize wrestling has been accepted in pop culture before, and that it has casual viewers, but I bet you almost anything that most people see it as entertainment, and would NOT consider it a serious sport. If wrestling is a sport, how come no one in Vegas gambles on matches? I'm sure some losers do, but it's not an official sanctioned gambling operation. One website proves nothing. All the other thousand sports websites do not feature wrestling results does prove something. I'll let you figure it out. Last edited by Zeeboe; 04-16-2010 at 08:17 PM. |

I think Cornette just fucked himself over.
I mean I did enjoy some things he said, but with this he kind of went over the line. If he meant it or not is not what matters, the fact of the matter is he said it then posted it on the internet for the whole world to see. To me, he's fucked himself over in the industry but on the other hand a lot of people who know Cornette know he's crazy and just says shit he believes in, but also to get a reaction out of people. I don't know what to think of it all. It's crazy |

You can only fuck yourself over if you care about the fallout of your comments.
When you're in a position when, at this point, you care more about what you can accomplish in the business than how much you can make - you are doing fine for yourself. |

Like I said, losers. Sad fuckin' losers.
I've been to Vegas many times, and have yet to see any bets for wrestling out there, but I do not doubt people do that as funny as that is.............Come to think of it.....hell, maybe that's something I can get into. I can just read the spoilers here, and there you go! I'll be like ol' Biff from Back to the Future II!

It also depends on what country you're from. For example, if you're from Japan, pro wrestling is treated like a sport. Championship matches there are hugely important, they would even played the wrestlers' national anthems, and the winner of the titles would be given a championship ceremony, receiving several trophies and the belt.

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. Quote:
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.

The term "sports entertainment" is a fair & even term, which is why it's used. So let's just agree to disagree cause this can go to ten pages before dawn, & I think we just need to get back on topic. |
