I was being facetious mate. However, I don't see how pro wrestling is not about the athletes. It's about personalities and characters that you can either get behind or despise, and the athleticism of those involved.

Yes... They are about characters...

I used to like wrestling... I eventually grew out of it though... I had looaaads of figures.

You are aware that pro wrestling is acting...yes?

Quote:You couldn't have ridiculous things like that in a proper sport anyway... It is equally about the sportsmen as it is about entertainment... Whereas, pro wrestling is entirely about the entertainment... That was the whole reason about it... Fake some fights for entertainment value and bring in the money.

No one is calling it a "proper sport". It's called sports entertainment. The fact that it isn't a real sport doesn't make it less entertaining for me. I have a lot of respect for those WWE Superstars! They put their bodies at risk for our entertainment, and they do a damn fine job. It takes skill, athleticism, talent, and guts to do what those guys do.

If Mark Henry picked you up and gave you "The World's Strongest Slam", I promise you would not be faking your pain.

I was merely saying I prefer real violence, that is all.

I respect the people for there physical abilities... It takes a lot of time and effort to look like they do... I was just making sure you weren't making it out to be something it is not, like a lot of people do.

Except nobody really does any more. In fact, that's been the case for the best part of a decade; it's only really portrayed as 'real' to the same extent that Jack Bauer doesn't wink at the camera in 24. Only kids believe it's real, and not even some of them.
