Pro wrestling guys and gals ARE indeed athletes. I used to love wrestling when I was a kid; my favorite was The Ultimate Warrior. When I found out it was fake, I was pretty jaded and stopped watching at that young age. Fast-forward to my early adulthood when I saw old footage of his signature gorilla press, and damn, for everything that might have been fake, the bench pressing of +250 pound guys whilst standing was quite real. I wholly consider pro wrestling a sport, sport theater.CheetoDust said:

I'm trying, I'm really trying (even re-looking into New Japan) but I still can't get into it. I'm just still stuck in 1987 NWA. I listen to old rasslin lore much more than watch the current product.CheetoDust said:
For something "Fake", the business is absolute Hell on the body. Not just the bumps (that canvas is NOT a trampoline) but the insane schedules and travel the big feds put their talent through.tippy2k2 said:
You're a brave soul. The business is rougher than usual to succeed in now. Any big names affiliated with your school?CheetoDust said:
If someone were to make one of these new deepfake videos placing Dak Prescott and Russell Wilson in the ?2 Girls 1 Cup? video, I would laugh until my lungs collapsed. I?m laughing right now, and never once have I thought of that video and felt anything but horror, such is the power of intense hatred for rival teams. I should also mention, being a native Ohioan, I?m a fan of THE Ohio State Buckeyes at the genetic level; if we can get Jim Harbaugh in that video too, I would lose the capacity to laugh ever again; I?d probably die with a grin on my face like the people who got gassed by the Joker in the ?80s Batman movie, and worthier way to die exists not.tippy2k2 said:

Dude, the Hardcore History podcast once did some shows on the rise and fall of early Rome and one of the things that stuck out to me was during a battle between Roman's and invading northern "barbarians" where two tribes of people, one on the barbarians side and one on the Roman side are marching towards each other and the barbarians start chanting the name of their tribe (I think I remember the name being, phonetically, Am-brone-ayes )as their war cry and then the Roman people that were part of their own tribe start chanting back at them with the name of their tribe. And I'm just imagining what that would look like in a full scale Hollywood movie to see two groups of people chanting their warcries at each other as the come together and start fighting... man that would be so cool. So many great moments in history that need to be in movies.ObsidianJones said:
I wish I was as collected and in control as Herbert West was.Specter Von Baren said:

I'm already 29 years old and I'm only training, I don't need to be the next Diamond Dallas Page but if I get to actually wrestle matches somewhat regularly and take it from there I'll be happy. Finn Balor set up the school and Becky Lynch trained there.CheetoDust said:
Definitely don't watch Undertaker Vs Goldberg from earlier this year. Even I've only watched highlights there's points where it stops being sad and starts being genuinely scary.tippy2k2 said:
Haha my first day training bumps was rough. Took a bath the next day and actually struggled to stand back upSmithnikov said:
His videos are amazing been binge watching them too over the last few weeks.ObsidianJones said:
Could you guys at least have let Goff do SOMETHING that game? My Fantasy Team got their teeth kicked in now because Goff forgot how to football.Xprimentyl said:
Sorry, pal; t?was business, not personal. I think Goff is suffering undeserved winner?s guilt from last year?s NFC Championship game?tippy2k2 said:
