Wrestling...why do people watch this?

[Arch_Angel]

I would only watch it if I need a good laugh at how these people act. And at the same time impressed at how they carry out these maneuvers without hurting each other too much.

I was channel flipping and saw WWF on. 2 guys were going at it in the ring. The slapped each other around, pretended to punch each other in the face, pretended to kick the guy in his mouth, while at the same time the crowd was being amazed and the blows the guys were delivering.

You could clearly see majority of the blows were not really connecting with each guy. Even when they do body slams the guy does it in a way that it doesn't really hurt the other guy. It just looks like it hurt.

It's a big act. Almost feel like a manly soap opera. Especially with the different fueds each wrestler get into, and the behind the door antics.

But what I can't understand is, do they rehearse these things before going out there? Or is it they decide before hand who is going to win, and they just go along with the rest?

Really amazing acting I must say.

There are a lot of sound effects as well. Notice that they are standing on boards instead of concrete floor. When someone drops on these boards a lot of noise is made but landing on boards is much better than concrete. Also, note that when a "blow" is given they stomp a foot on the boards. This gives a loud noise which is discerned as being made by the blow itself. I stopped watching Wrestling in the mid 90's

It doesn't interest me. I just change the channel, but that's just me. I love the ROCK. That is all that matters. :)

never watched a wrestling match before and don't intend to. i dislike physical sports like that. hurting each other for amusement, pathetic.

I was never drawn to wrestling growing up. Before Nassau got U.S Cable, the local station brought that stuff on for 2 hours every Saturday, WWW (World Wide Wrestling). I was pissed.

Unfortunately alot of sports these days are becoming brutal besides the obvious boxing and wrestling. Ever watched a hockey match, I dont think any of those players in the NHL have their own teeth. They carry on like wolves on the ice sometimes. Soccer matches can get crazy too. I would only watch World Cup on the telly, then no one can trample me, after a bad call.

But drew, that's my whole point. THEY ARE NOT HURTING EACH OTHER!!! lol
Maybe they will give each other a little box or something. But the wrestlers are not hurt.

If you can act drew, you could be a good contestant!! All you need to do is learn how to drop on the ring floor and make a lot of noise while hitting it. To amke it sound like you took a devastation drop.
Also learn how to stomp your foot when you pretend to punch a guy.
And learn how to look dazed and confused.
And learn how to walk aimlessly into the guy when he bounces off the ring ropes and runs at you. Timing is critical. You have to pretend to drop hard on the floor. Make a lot of noise at it. Then repeat this, then pretend to be knocked out.
Also pretend to roll around on the ring floor like you're hurt and in pain.


That's all. I would put my moneey on you drew. :D

they like watching it becouse they like seeing the people fight and action that they do

[Drew]

i like sports where i have my own half of the court or my own lane. never found much interest in american football, hockey, not even basketball. i kno i kno, i'm weird. swimming is my sport, the only way you get injured in that, is your own fault.

LMAO, ok i get u AA. how about i phrase that one again. i don't like any sport, that appears to be hurting another. how's that??

[Greatis]

I am much like Drew except for Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls awww heck I liked old school basketball. I don't like it no more. Football as we call it in Jamaica and the best sport of all the Gentlemans game. Cricket. :D

[Gwadinka]

Ouh .....thank God I am not the only one who thinks that . Totally, completely, bodily agree with you JCB.

[ramesh]

I used to watch wrestling in the late Eighties and early Nineties. In those days Hulk Hogan ruled the mat. There was no NWO, and the Undertaker was undefeatable (except when he faced Hulk). The acting was not as blatant then.

But then the acting got very obvious and then allegations about early deaths of participants started coming in. I lost all interest in that "sport".
