Thats what me and my boss was chatting about on friday. If you dont like football you must be a homo? Surly?
Also watching half naked, greased up, long haired blokes hugging each other and pretending to fight is ultra gay!

Funny? I just found it cripplingly embarassing! Seems like play wrestling is one of those things you either 'get' or you don't. If you can suspend your disbelief and get involved in the daft storylines then I'm sure it's a bit of fun. But for 'normal' people it's VERY hard to see where the attraction lies.
change "embarassing" for depressing and "wrestling" out and that sounds like eastenders to me.

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
I absolutely hate football. Can't stand any aspect of it. I used to go to watch the POSH with my brother in law so have an objective view on it. At that time i just thought it was one step up from 8 year olds Sunday league!
I hate everything that surrounds it and how people think its the be all and end all! Used to work in an office where a lot of fellas played Sunday league, Monday was post match analysis, Tuesday was pre training planning, Wednesday was pre training discussion and post training drinking planning, Thursday was post training discussion, Friday was pre saturday afternoon premiership discussion and pre Sunday morning Tactics and strategy!!!! 90% were overweight and smokers and yet the way they talked you'd have thought they were on the brink of signing for Chelsea!
Its only a game FFS!
Horses for courses though and each to their own. I just dont want it rammed down my throat all the time!
Don't gays like football either? IIRC some even played!!
Sport should be entertaining which is exactly where WWE comes from. You switch your brain off and enjoy. They make no bones about it being "sports entertainment" Anybody who takes it seriously though

football is totally homosexual.
you score you get kissed, dry humped and piled on.
sokmeone scores you kiss them, dry hump them and pile upon them.
they score/foul someone you cry, throw a tantrum and throw your toys about.
you get tackled you roll around on the floor like a child and all of a sudden are fine...unless the ref missed it to which you run up with your hands in the air and fall over again.
rugby however is far more manly.
men can tackle eachother without needing to kiss, hug and enjoy the contact.
they can brake their leg, but a bit of duck tape and away they go.
you score you applaud, your mate scores you applaud, they score you applaud...called respect.
theres no arguing witht he ref.
if someone has a problem they dont chase eachother around they get stuck in.
i reallllly dont get whats good about football other than SOME of the ball controll/skill.
as to wrestling, watching grown men play fighting is just gayyyyyyy.
also whats with the fans? footballers all fight, rugby fans can stand and have a beer together. what gives?

not drug related, if you wern't watching this live, you won't be able to get this ppv as they never released it, he was supposed to be shackled to a harness and let down to the ring, but the shackle wasn't fitted correctly and, as he stepped off the beam, it failed, he dropped onto the ring posts and died ni the ring, but the show went on......

I was too young to watch it at night, so it was recorded for me on tape. Stone Cold was the ultimate in my opinion.

It's a bit like Christmas. The whole scenario is made up, and as kids we believe it. Not only that, we get very excited over it. Wrestling was no different for me as a kid. Even now the thought of Stone Cold Steve Austin charing down to the ring, Mankind and The Undertaker on top of a cage waiting for him, excites the hell out of me, so you can imagine what I was like as a 10 year old.

also wrestlers don't "retire" they just retire from on screen work, they normally become agents or talent scouts or trainers for the guys coming up through teh ranks
the pity is that with so many federations around the world, you only have a select few who make it to the big time and get signed up by vince and play out in front of 15 thousand fans, i've been to events that have been held in front of 100 peole in school halls and stuff, just as exciting, you just don't get the polished prfesionalism you get with the tv work, same as kicking a tin can down the road as a schoolkid and watching the world cup

I don't give a fuck who slags it off, I'd like to see you do some of the moves they do and get back up and carry on fighting. It is a sport, and it's probably one of the most skillfull ones too. Back flipping off a cage onto a table. I'll take a bet none of you slagging it off could do that. You can call them gay, but remember even though it's fake those moves are still happening. No CGI, so I'll take a bet one of them on their own could fuck most of you up in reality.
Stone cold... STONE COLD STONE COLD!CHOKE SLAM!

I'm depraved but i believe she has a dickclit
Anyway, enough of normal things like ladies getting boned.
I wanna be amazed by the spectacle that is grown men shamelessly enjoying wrestling
What are peoples views on the blantantly scripted "scenes"? When i have forced myself to watch any, it is filled with lame fueds were people are having a row, but patiently wait for the mike to be passed back to them before saying their bit.
I struggle to buy into it, even if seeing some bag of walnuts jumping around, stamping his feet while doing weak backward slaps does it for you, how can you not be irritated by the soap opera side of it

stumbling along this thread, as a child my mum worked in a pub called ben trueman, then the benz, and i she used to be the manager for many years too, and it was owned by danny lynch, remeber danny well and me and bro had a woven rug with him on in our room as kids.
copied from net...
'DANGEROUS' DANNY LYNCH, considered by many to be the best heavyweight villain wrestler of the last 40 years, has died this morning from a heart attack whilst recuperating in the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford, where he was taken on Saturday.
Danny had suffered health problems over the last few years, such as gangrene in the feet, resulting in amputation of his toes, a massive heart attack four years ago, leaving him wheel chair bound, but tackled these setbacks with courage and humour. He was a regular patron at the Reunions, receiving a life achievement award five years ago, for his enormous contribution to wrestling.
One of the greatest ring characters of all time, this Manchester born grappler, rose from the welterweight division to become the most sought after heavyweight in the world. Often appearing before crowds in excess of 100,000 people, in India, Pakistan, and China, where he was treated with God-like reverence. He also made many appearances in movies, such as Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan.
During his long reign as King of the ring, he tagged with men like Johnny Yearsley, Basil 'Romany' Riley and of course the unforgettable Crusher Mason who was so enamoured by the great man that he changed his name to match. His wrestling Academy was responsible for many star wrestlers who emerged from the Ashford area such as Jon Carlo,Peter Gurr, John Riley, Kurt and Karl ( Nobby) Heinz, The Mad Monk, Aaron Stone, and John Hurley to name but a few.
Just to see this frightening man enter the ring often drove the utmost fear into his audiences, with the studded leather belts and chains, but beneath this terrifying exterior, the real man was gentle and kind, with a wonderful dry sense of humour.
Known affectionately by his comrades as 'Mr. Gillette' because of his tendency to bleed profusely during his bouts, this awesome legend of the wrestling business will be sorely missed by everyone.
Details of the funeral will be published as soon as Danny's widow : Hilary has made arrangements. Our thoughts and prayers are with her on this sad loss of such a great immortal star.

'DANGEROUS' DANNY LYNCH, considered by many to be the best heavyweight villain wrestler of the last 40 years, has died this morning from a heart attack whilst recuperating in the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford, where he was taken on Saturday.
Danny had suffered health problems over the last few years, such as gangrene in the feet, resulting in amputation of his toes, a massive heart attack four years ago, leaving him wheel chair bound, but tackled these setbacks with courage and humour. He was a regular patron at the Reunions, receiving a life achievement award five years ago, for his enormous contribution to wrestling.
One of the greatest ring characters of all time, this Manchester born grappler, rose from the welterweight division to become the most sought after heavyweight in the world. Often appearing before crowds in excess of 100,000 people, in India, Pakistan, and China, where he was treated with God-like reverence. He also made many appearances in movies, such as Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan.
During his long reign as King of the ring, he tagged with men like Johnny Yearsley, Basil 'Romany' Riley and of course the unforgettable Crusher Mason who was so enamoured by the great man that he changed his name to match. His wrestling Academy was responsible for many star wrestlers who emerged from the Ashford area such as Jon Carlo,Peter Gurr, John Riley, Kurt and Karl ( Nobby) Heinz, The Mad Monk, Aaron Stone, and John Hurley to name but a few.
Just to see this frightening man enter the ring often drove the utmost fear into his audiences, with the studded leather belts and chains, but beneath this terrifying exterior, the real man was gentle and kind, with a wonderful dry sense of humour.

As a fellow fan you completely understand what I mean. Everytime their was a royal rumble, we'd be up stairs on my Mum's kingsize bed two in the bed and all our mates stood shouting 'Tag me in, tag me in'.
I don't give a fuck who slags it off, I'd like to see you do some of the moves they do and get back up and carry on fighting. It is a sport, and it's probably one of the most skillfull ones too. Back flipping off a cage onto a table. I'll take a bet none of you slagging it off could do that. You can call them gay, but remember even though it's fake those moves are still happening. No CGI, so I'll take a bet one of them on their own could fuck most of you up in reality.
Stone cold... STONE COLD STONE COLD!CHOKE SLAM!
Benni.

OH MAH GAWD!!!!!!! HELL FIRE AND BRIMSTONE!!!!!!! CHOKE SLAMED HIS STRAIGHT TO HELL!!!!! etc
I'm depraved but i believe she has a dickclit
Anyway, enough of normal things like ladies getting boned.
I wanna be amazed by the spectacle that is grown men shamelessly enjoying wrestling
What are peoples views on the blantantly scripted "scenes"? When i have forced myself to watch any, it is filled with lame fueds were people are having a row, but patiently wait for the mike to be passed back to them before saying their bit.
I struggle to buy into it, even if seeing some bag of walnuts jumping around, stamping his feet while doing weak backward slaps does it for you, how can you not be irritated by the soap opera side of it

you have yuor basic "babyface" the good guy and "heel" the bad guy
then you have heel faces, like stone cold was and face heels, like rock was during his ministry days and then you have those who swap sides, like vince and triple h and kane etc
the art of wrestling is to make each move as painful to watch as possible, without actually inflicting any pain on the guy who's on the reciving end, and guys who work "stiff" don't let you as they connect with everythig they throw a you, which is why, when you've been a naughty boy, you get thrown in with the stiff guys who are generaly tough sons of bitchs in the real world too, just look up mr wondefull, paul orndorf, small guy maybe, but he had that ability to beat the living shit out of just baout anyone when it came to real life fisticuffs, so don't always believe what you see ont eh screen, later on in the years it was the job handed out to ron, faarooq, simmons and bradshaw to lay down the law to the young upstarts who thought they'd get away with stuff
stumbling along this thread, as a child my mum worked in a pub called ben trueman, then the benz, and i she used to be the manager for many years too, and it was owned by danny lynch, remeber danny well and me and bro had a woven rug with him on in our room as kids.
