There are smarter ways to handle a statement like that, but then maybe this is why wrestling looks so stupid to the uninitiated. Because our ambassadors to the outside world are rarely well-spoken or insightful. On the other hand, the transcripts don't sound hostile on either side. Edge doesn't read as defensive, Anderson doesn't read as inflamatory. On a side note, I wonder how RVD would have reacted (Had he gone to Iraq, or had he been interviewed in another scenario). JBL's intelligent, but RVD's a truly cool customer in almost any way imaginable. Not that it matters. You go to war with the wrestlers you have, not the wrestlers you wish you had. |

It's bullshit, and you only need to look at other reactions to see I'm not the only dissenting opinion, but why let reality intrude on this whole affair? And I suppose only the 15 internet smarks here watch Showbiz Tonight, and nobody else will see it or form an opinion. |

They probably coach them to say certain things if anyone does this in the media. 'Pull out something about an injury' - I mean, it's perfect, most of the roster have had them. |

And to people complaining about the word fake. Ask yourselves why they call it fake: Because it's a "scripted," "staged," "sport."
So...Ummm...You're arguing it's not faked, it's faked. Nobody's pretending Eddie's still alive and the Blue Blazer was all a work. Nobody's saying people don't get hurt. Nobody's saying Michael Moore is Jabba the Hutt...Well, actually... |

They certainly do not coach their wrestlers, or make it a point to portray it as real to the media. What Edge said is a case of self defense and education regarding the validity of athleticism and danger in the line of work and the industry, which in the minds of some ignorant outsiders is non-existant. He did it on principle, personal and professionally and was justified in doing so. He didn't look like an idiot to overall, smark mark or outsider POVs included. If he looked like such an idiot, or it was an embarassment. Why can't I even find it on youtube, where you can find ANYTHING? Nobody was put off by Adam Copelands comments. |

Okay, guys, this entire argument is pointless and ridiculous about Edge's comments. You know why? Wrestling is not fake.

It's refuting his argument that nobody will agree with me. First off, he immediately discounted everyone who actually watches the show (Unless, as my statement asserts, only the smarks commenting on this board are the ones watching...), which is especially silly, since the mainstream viewers are more likely to find the statement that it's fake true, then he goes on to discount other people who has disagreed with him. This isn't about mine being the only opinion, or any other little silly strawman you can put up. Sorry. ![]() |

You say it's a case of education, yet they deny it's fake. Why is that? Why not just say 'scripted' and be done with it, I've seen it done at other times. I remember seeing Kurt Angle before he got huge on a tour promoting in the UK. Someone on our sad version of MTV asked him, 'Kurt, now wrestling is fake right?'. Angle, totally unshaken and with a smirk on his face, replied, 'I wouldnt say fake, I think pre-determined is the right word.' The guy had no answer. I mean, who cares what he said, no-one is going to take a man who's name appears on the screen as 'Edge' as opposed to 'Adam Copeland'. I bet half the people watching thought, 'I bet he stole that from the guy in U2'. |

![]() See the thread where people discuss when they figured out wrestling was fake for more details. It isn't a "phantom world". People on these boards have confessed to thinking it "faker" than it actually was. I can't make sense of your other paragraph and what you meant, just some long winded self-fellating bullshit probably, so I won't bother. |

Perhaps professional wrestling is to blame for kayfabe, and what-not, but people have this hostility towards the industry, as if it is constantly trying to deceive us. Is it? Perhaps, but I think what is asks for is more suspension of disbelief, similar to how a movie would. That's why I've always had a soft spot for the concepts behind WSX and Chikara. Haven't seen WSX, but the MTV shtick had me believe that it could have maybe shed the fourth wall that makes people feel conned by watching iit. A wrestling promotion that holds each show more like a TV episode, complete with credits, casting and what-not could work, in my opinion. But that's another story for another day. My point is this: There is hostility towards professional wrestling. People are ignorant when it comes to it. Perhaps it is the industry's fault for putting up so many barricades, but Edge was just responding to a woman who obviously didn't understand the business, and was obviously condescending it. I ask you this: would you use the word "fake" to a professional wrestler? Would you ask him how his "fake" lifestyle is? She obviously didn't have a clue what she was on about, and as a journalist she should really be aware of what she is saying at all times. And the woman did come off as offencive. I took it that way, so did so many other people, and so did Edge, or else he wouldn't have made the statement. |

Like, this one time, I remember a thread where you complained about someone referring to this reporter as a "snotty bitch", even tho she probably wasn't. And here you are, claiming that Edge threw a "hissyfit", even tho he probably wasn't. It's almost like hypocracy, except I'm sure in Kane Land, it's ignorant of the first guy, but you're just using hyperbole. |

Remember in that same thread, I actually explicitly said that neither sounded like they were confrontational? Oh, right. Selective memory. It's not possible that there was a context you either don't want to understand, or deliberately refuse to understand.
