Pro Wrestling is Fake.

Whatever blows your hair back IMO, but I don't enjoy it personally.

Hey @Huge, can I ask you a question?

What is your favourite movie?

 

[Porthoz]

lol, very appropriate.

still, different plots. if "person x" becoming champion is the same as any other plot, we can boil down most movies to good guy beats bad guy.

In its most basic form, you can probably say that at a stretch... although the plot is not just that, it's the intricacies and subplots, as well as the acting, which do make a significant difference, not only between movies/series and wrestling, but between a good movie and a bad one for example.

Probably The Untouchables but Kpax was excellent too. Likely have 5 movies that are equal first.

I just don't get it, I cannot believe anyone watches stuff like this knowing, absolutely knowing that every single scene is predetermined. I get that everyone is entitled to a view, entitled to get pleasure where they find it but what is it about this movie that gets people involved. Stage managed at every step, makeup wearing guys in suits pulling faces and threatening to hurt each other but every single person knows that they don't mean a word of it....totally puzzled I am, I want to throw up 30 seconds into any of it.

Almost every argument put forward from the anti-wrestling side has been incorrect though. The endings of matches are not always predetermined, a lot of matches are done on the fly, barely any of them wear makeup and promos aren't always scripted. There are legitimate arguments against wrestling being good, but the arguments in here have been so misinformed it's barely worth responding.

The endings of matches are not always predetermined

Well, not always but 98% of the time.

Everything bar the finish is usually made up on the fly though. Unless you're DDP or Macho and have to choreograph every spot.

That's what not always means haha

Yeah but we're talking absolute anomalies here like when a wrestler gets injured or the promoter wants to **** over a talent. Even in the case where a wrestler gets injured, they'll find ways to stick to the scripted finish. So we've seen guys who have suffered temporary paralysis go over due to the finish which was incredibly tough but also looked really stupid.

And it's known to happen based on fan reactions at indy events as well. I'm not just talking about the WWE. Also I just noticed @pennywisealfie was replying to Huges favourite movie. Don't mind me.

Look guys, I hate Wrestling, but this is a wrestling thread, not a who can insult another member better without actually calling out that member. We get it. Move on.

I seem to remember this being posted earlier in this thread. This still applies, so move on!

I can take solace in the knowledge intelligent people don't watch such junk.
