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.

It's only not a sport on the fact that results are pre-determined, the fact that punches don't 100% connect etc don't matter, and neither does the fact that there is drama involved, in depth storylines, promos and so on. They all just combine to make pro-wrestling unique and what it is, there's no way you can out and out say it's not a sport though.

This. Wrestling is staged, not fake. There is a difference.

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.

If wrestling is a sport, then what stunt people in movies do is a sport too by your logic.

The wrestlers are not really competing unless you count the backstage drama. I'd say that is more like a sport....

Amateur wrestling is a sport, yes. The stuff we see in WWE and TNA however is sports entertainment.


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.

lol just cos you're a 'goofy and immature guy' doesn't mean everyone is? Granted, A LOT of wrestling fans are fucking weird. But you can't just say 'you have to be goofy and immature to watch wrestling - HEY I ADMIT IT' just cos it's true for you doesn't mean it applies to everyone. Sorry.

SkySports.com. And stop with the fucking play fighting man, do you not understand the different aspects of wrestling? Different styles, all the different types of moves. Really?

Again you're tarring everyone with the same brush. Some may be as you say, 'overgrown little boys'. But not all of them, seriously man. Do you stereotype every type of person?

Try reading 'my logic' again, and think how it'd apply to 'stunt people', I don't need to explain how stupid this statement is, figure it out yourself.

I'm not sure if you're trolling or serious tbh, I don't know enough about you. You prob are just trolling away, but still, I'll answer them almost like a 'Q&A' of some sort for anti-pro wrestling folk.

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.

Pro Wrestling can be classified as a sport, though the use of the word has kind of fallen by the wayside.

Anyway, arguing over whether it's a sport is on part with whether it's fake or not. It's pointless, even by the standards of the internet.

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.

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.

The Japanese go all out for a lot of things, but I'm sure deep in their hearts, they know it's all entertainment too, and ALL countries have whackos who go insane over wrestling, and treat it like it's real, and I have no doubt the country of Japan has PLENTY of those kinds of guys too. But those people got $, and those promoters want it, so they'll go above and beyond the call of duty to get it.

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.

How can it be a sport when both sides know the results? Kinda takes the "sport" out of it.

So because they're doing physical activities it makes it a legally sanctioned sport? Like I posted, if that is the case, what stunt people do should also be consider a sport.

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.
