one might argue that pro wrestling isn't wrestling because it isn't Olympic wrestling

To each it's own, I actually like the video. It was a legit holy shit moment. Would it of made it better if it was done in a WWE ring? Stop complaining

Doing something like this would be comparable to the Katie Vick stuff, right?

I don't think doing that in any ring would be entertaining. To the defenders: how is this any better than watching a video of something like a guy getting his leg caught in a bear trap? What does it add to the match? This is a legitimate question. I'm looking to figure out what you get out of watching a "match" like this. I don't want to hear something like "blame Vince for going PG" because as has been said, there is other wrestling out there. I'm don't want to hear "to each his own" either. What is the draw in watching this type of event?

Art through violence?
I saw a video once of a match from CZW or something where a guy stabbed another guy in the bicep/arm with a pair of scissors. He then proceeded to dig the scissors in deeper and deeper. I'm sure everyone has seen that video. So tell me, where's the art in that? I honestly do want to know. I'm a bit curious. |

And in the video I was talking about, the guy was screaming bloody murder and I don't blame him. His pain threshold was quite low. Just like anyone who would have had scissors rammed into there skin and muscles with some force. |

I consider wrestling to be an art form yes. But that wasn't wrestling, or art. It was just fucking dumb |

So is it art or is it an attempt to be closer to the gods through pain?

Christ the even scarier thing is there's actually a niche group of people who enjoy that kinda crap
Something's wrong with your brain if you can sit back and watch 2 or 3 hrs of that and actually enjoy it Hell ECW was somewhat hardcore but even they didn't go that far |

The problem with the word "art" is that you can really call anything art and nobody can tell you you're wrong.

art noun 1 [U] the making of objects, images, music, etc. that are beautiful or that express feelings: Can television and pop music really be considered art? I enjoyed the ballet, but it wasn't really great art. 2 [U] the activity of painting, drawing and making sculpture: Art and English were my best subjects at school. an art teacher 3 [U] paintings, drawings and sculptures: The gallery has an excellent collection of modern art. an exhibition of Native American art Peggy Guggenheim was one of the twentieth century's great art collectors.

You guys take this too seriously if you consider wrestling a form of art. It's entertainment, not art.

At least it's nice that everyone's talking about something.
Although I do agree this stuff is pretty stupid. |

That last clip with the scissors is downright disgusting
Why the fuck does anyone find that entertaining Christ why were at it why don't we just shoot and kill a guy in the middle of the ring I better be careful I might give some scumbag promoter an idea And anyone who mutilates their body like that needs their head examined |
