Poll: Wrestling?

[Panzer_God]

I've noticed that despite boasting one of the worlds largest fanbases, I have met only two people that admit to watching WWE. This got me thinking that people just don't want to admit they watch it so I wanted to see what you guys think. I personally am a big fan and yes I do know it's fake.

 

[quiet_samurai]

I don't watch it, however if I had tickets to a live event I would be all over it.

grown man hugging on the floor with soap opera like transitions? no thanks.

I wrestled in high school. Competed at the national level in Fargo, North Dakota with Team Texas. Then wrestling internationally against Team China in Beijing and Team New Zealand in north Texas.

But no, I don't watch that fake stuff. Though I do watch the olympic wrestling.

 

[FeralPhantom]

I use to, after they decided to make it "PG" it all went to shit, the indy promotions are the only good ones now............

 

[Panzer_God]

I miss the Attitude Era. Stone Cold all the way.

I'd never heard that, although it can't be that padded since Donald Trump just bought it.

I watched* it last semester in college because it came on after House. It was great fun mocking it with my roommate, however some of the things one little Mexican wrestler guy did were pretty cool.

[small]* "Watched" in this case means "let it play on the TV"[/small]

 

[Omikron009]

I have watched it in the past for laughs. It's so ridiculously fake and cheesy. I love feuds.

P.S. Those picture of hulk hogan were really funny.

 

[crouchingtigress01]

While I admit I watch it and have even been to a "match", I can't say I am a fan like my mother and brother are. Nevertheless, I have to say I enjoy what they do for the members of the military away from their families

wouldn't be surprised it was another Trump vs. McMahon storyline, that sucked up until Vince got is head shaved.

that would be Rey Mysterio, also thanks for reminding me the Mexican promotions are still pretty good, I don't understand a word there saying but every time I watch I see midgets so that makes up for it

 

[Pimppeter2]

No but if some one else brought it up yes

Then again I am a man so whatever qualifies as a "sport" I need to have some knowledge of

 

[A random person]

Wrestling may be one of the manliest sports ever conceived, but professional wrestling just doesn't do it for me. Maybe it's because I associate it with people who listen to rap and dismiss anything not sufficiently "hardcore" as "gay."

 

[Panzer_God]

I gotta say, I expected more people saying things like "OMG LOLZORS WWWE IS DA GAYYYYYYYY" or reminding me many, MANY times that it is fake.

 

[Noone From Nowhere]

Who could watch that sexist crap? It's demeaning to Men to have them grapple and roll around half-naked like that!
Seriously, though, I used to watch pro-wrestling back when the WWF (as the WWE was called in the olden days) used to have competition in the form of WCW. Without competition, they just don't try very hard any more.
It's still goofy spectacle, but it isn't well done thrilling goofy spectacle with heart! I might catch some Luchadore action if I catch it on TeleMundo or UniVision if there isn't anything else better on the air at the time.

 

[NeutralDrow]

I don't watch it, but I wouldn't be ashamed to admit it if I did. Every time I try to watch, the commentators just bug the living hell out of me.

 

[cleverlymadeup]

i used to watch it, stopped shortly after the wcw folded, it just got really crappy and boring. i wanted to watch wrassling not guys having hissy fits and talking for 2 hours

 

[slevin8989]

I haven't watched wresting since i was twelve, but if someone bring up a conversation about wrestling from when i was watching I'll talk about it.

 

[Evilvikingking]

Just bad acting, isn't it?
