And insisting that wrestlers who pretended to be real combatants before he was born are superior to the ones who pretend far less now.

What? I wanted to fuse both his personality traits.

i suppose i don't care about it much as a wrestling fan either. when i see it happen with something i'm more involved in, it does get irritating though. mostly because it limits the potential of what it could be. i don't give a shit if people i've never heard of think wrestling is stupid. but when i'm personally invested in something and i see people dismissing it for the wrong reasons, well, that kinda sucks.

short version: i can see it both ways.

I can see it both ways, I just can't really be arsed to care. It's a fun, visceral, form of cheap entertainment, and I'm fine with that.

I understand why others might care, but I just can't be bothered beyon snark.

I was speaking to a guy that's in my class today who I rarely talk to and I mentioned that I was really tired.

He asked me why and I told him that I was awake until 4am watching stuff. He asked me what I was watching and when I replied with "Wrestling", he gave me a weird look and said "You know that's all fixed, right?".

When I said to him "Yeah, I know it's all predetermined", he laughed a bit and said "Thank God for that".

It also made me think of this thread. I just thought I would share that story with you all.

MMA is totally real. What other reason would two grown men have to spoon each other for five minutes at a time?
