In other words, your opinion is wrong, and you are dumb. Also, I think I remember watching Shane vs Kurt Angle from KOTR with a non-wrestling fan and it had them pretty glued to the screen for the duration of the match. Who doesn't like seeing someone get suplexed through plate glass windows? That shit is awesome. |

or suplexed INTO a window, AMIRITE!!?!?!?!?
I think it'd be easier to follow a storyline than a match as art. If it's just a match all they have is the in ring action. However, the storyline behind the match, on the other end, that's where the magic happens. |

Bret Hart v. Stone Cold @ Wrestlemania 13. The double turn in the match is one of the best stories ever told in the ring. If you're going to convince someone that fake combat can be an art form, it has to be able to tell a fantastic story...and that's about the best its ever gotten.

And wrestling is an art form, in this day and age anything that is performed well be it a band, a type of dance, a painting, a poem, a fucking gymnast etc it is all declared 'art' by most people.

art/ärt/Noun
1. The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. 2. Works produced by such skill and imagination. Yes. It qualifies, quit bitching. |

Yeah exactly, every skill is an art form.
And despite the facts proving that you are 100% wrong you still argue. So yeah, im out this bitch. Somebody else can have you. And it feels like warm apple pie cos im sure you are wondering |

Chris Benoit vs HHH vs Shawn Michaels - had everything that shows the emotion that comes as a result of decades of work.

I wouldn't show any prospective fan a Chris Benoit match (aside from the fact that i hated everything about him pre-murders and he's a household name now because of said murders) but because he wrestled ugly. Watching him force people into his finisher was so awful. Watching 10, 30 or 50 german suplexes was boring. wrestling should look pretty and cool esp a wrestlers finish (eg Swanton, SSP, RKO, Sweet Chin Music, Tombstone, Pedigree). Just my opinion tho

Hey, im currently jobbing to you Ruien. But yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes it is art. It simply is and its a fuckin fact. Unbelievable. Some of you would happily argue black is white. And you will convince yourselves you're right. Amazing stuff. So why isn't it art? Is it not a visual form of creative skill?

It's not an art form. Fuck, I hate when people try to make this crap out to be more than what it really is: mindless entertainment.

Couple of ideas...
Royal Rumble 1992 (the one that Flair won) - I'd most likely show this match to anybody who gave me that ultimatum, though I think loopydate made a really good point on page 1 about making someone sit through an hour+ match - but with a Rumble, it's not like you're sitting there and watching 2 guys counterwrestle for an hour. There's a great cross-section of classic guys involved in this one, you get Flair of coarse, Piper, Hogan, Bulldog, and about 20 other guys who were all on top of their game that night. I'm not sure about explaining the gimmicks of Barbarian and Nasty Boy Jerry Sags a non-fan, tho >_> I'd consider any of the matches Chigusa Nagano and Jaguar Yokota had in the 80's if it was a dude. I'm sure 2 tanned, incredibly fit women in swimsuits throwing each other around in complicated holds would be able to keep any guy's interest for 15 minutes. |

I do not consider baseball an art.
I do not consider basketball an art. I do not consider football an art. I do not consider hockey/soccer/tennis/bowling/fishing an art. I do not consider wrestling an art. I do not consider hunting an art. If you go on the "visual form of creative skill", then how come no one considers any sport an art? The way Carl Everett swung the baseball bat was creative skill, but it was not art. In reality, that argument basically makes everything in life an art. |

Professional wrestling is a performance art. It's often corny, often low-brow, riddled with homosexual overtones and followed by a large amount of spastics but a performance art nonetheless. It's acting, it's performing, it's dancing, it's showmanship, it's conflict and resolution, it's a soap opera. Only with a stigma attached to it.

on some small artsy forum populated by struggling actors and artists with too much time spent on said forum, quite possibly. Right analogy anyway.
