I Diddnt watch yesterday as was getting my end away but I got the wwe network when I was bored one week so I could watch old ECw paperviews that I liked when I was a kid. That shit was like rocking horse shit back when I was a young teen, dvds were 20 quid so I'd maybe get one a year from HMV.
@JohnyHendricksBeard is gonna come up in here and put a scripted ass whooping on all you haters
Brace yourself for an essay. Laying the verbal smackdown upon us.
Objectively its trash entertainment, but so is a lot of stuff that people consume to have the brain rest for a bit. So no need to judge.
Despite the fact that he's Canadian and watches professional wrestling, JHB is a pretty rational and intelligent guy.
What was wrestling like in the 60's?
There is a ton of information available online!
It's the same reason MMA fans get bent out of shape when they feel their favorite fighter isn't being treated fairly, or conversely when a fighter they don't like is getting special treatment. When you see someone who is an extremely talented, hard worker it's normal to think it's unfair if that persons work isn't recognized just because the boss likes someone else better. We watch sports to escape mundane day to day activity. When we see the people who we watch to escape going through the same BS we do at our 9-5 job it's pretty normal to get a little salty about it.
Not to be condescending, but if you refer to it as "fake wrestling" it's no more likely you'll ever understand than someone who refers to MMA as "Two sweaty guys hugging in a cage"
See this is weird to me.
We already think so.As to acting. If Jon Snow dies again next season and@conor mcgregor nut hugger complains about [actor's name] getting treated unfairly by their bosses because of it, then everybody would think: what a freaking weirdo to cry about that.
No, what happens in the ring does not matter, what the fan's reaction to it is, does though.
I disagree, that is another discussion though.
Sure, and the best ones will get recognized and get their opportunities. And if not in the WWE, then somewhere else. Free market, right?
As state above it actually dictates the performers income, so yes, it does matter even in a sense beyond a fan's personal enjoyment. The writing also isn't dictated by crowd reaction, so the fan's reaction is actually pretty irrelevant.
Sort of. If someone is dissatisfied with the UFC and goes to One FC or Bellator. Will they ever truly get the same recognition? In all seriousness, without looking it up could you name the #2 Pro Wrestling promotion?
@JohnyHendricksBeard obviously wouldn't have to continue to explain this to everyone.
