thoughts on wrestling

Wrestling is cool when you're a pre-teen...but when you get older you have to ask yourself, why am I watching a bunch of grown men wrestling in tights? Peace.

I have always known wrestling to be fake or choreographed but my grandma liked it, so it was cool with me for a long time. I have not watched wrestling since the 80s, it got too flamboyant for me.

Some of the wrestling your grandmother used to see may have been real. It was only around the time of gorgous george and such that wrestling started to go fake. Before then, the wrestling was real, but the matched could go on for a half hour or more and people just didn't want to watch that long so they started taking dives to shorten the matches so they could have more.

At least thats how I understand it.

I used to watch wrestling back when I was a kid. It was actually pretty good back then. Now it's all shitty repetitive story lines, and all talk and hardly any wrestling.

yeah it used to be cool when stone cold steve austin and the rock were still around but now its gay and i hope it dies lmao

I used to love the WWF back in the late 80s-early 90s. They were hardly ever in the ring with a mic talking shit noone cares about. Back then..it was just matches. Obviously staged (fake is not a good word...most wrestlers have broken most of the bones in their body and/or life threatening injuries)...but it was fun back then when I didn't know that haha. It's like Santa Claus...once you find out there is no Santa...your hopes kinda go down a little lol...just like finding out wrestling is staged. Nowadays..it's pretty 'gayer than gay'...they are in the ring the whole time talking...and then when they do wrestle...it's quick and shitty (not to mention, they seem to be running out of valid, entertaining characters lol). I remember some matches that would go for like an hour...

Bret 'The Hitman' Hart was always the man.
