[letsgoreyes]

who here likes wrestling??and if u do whos your fav wrestler?

[Truth]

I liked ECW back when it was an actual Fed, and my favorite wrestler is SABU...............................................

[Kay Scarpetta]

I hate wrestling, but I like Lita. But ONLY because I thought she was good on the "Weakest Link" LOL *snickers* what a reason

[Pitooey]

Okay you wrestling fans! Maybe you have the answer to this question. Whatever happen to Ray Mysterio from WCW. How about Goldberg? I like "Booker T" he's hilarious.........

[LucyFan]

When I was younger I absolutely loved wrestling! My favorite wrestlers at that time was Hulk "Terry" Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savich. Both were great I thought until they turned bad . . .
As I grew older I sort of grew out of wrestling, so I currently don't have a favorite. I don't even watch it.

[Mossopp]

I absolutely despise wresting!!! It's one of my pet hates. It's so fake - why does everybody get so worked-up about it?!??
NEWS FLASH FOR ALL YOU WRESTLING FANS
It's not real. It's even more staged that your average pantomime. The actors (yes, that's right - they're actors, not wrestlers) all know who's going to win before the 'tournaments' even begin.
What is the point??!!

What is the point??!! ok well i know that. and there not called tournaments there called macthes.and ur wrong cuz u cant tell me that triple h's injury was fake! He got it in a wrestling macth.o and he went on with the macth!and the point is some people like it even if they know that MOST of it is fake!

[JDS84]

HHH, The Rock, Stone Cold, and Shawn Michaels(even though he is not wrestling anymore)

[letsgoreyes]

Shawn Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he's great!

[Jimbo]

I've been a wrestling fan longer than many of you have been alive! I won't bore you with a lot of talk about some of the "old time" wrestlers, but there were a lot of good ones. My favorites from more recent times are as follows:

Favorite wrestlers: Ric Flair, The Sandman

Favorite Tag Team: The Road Warriors

Best ring entrance: Bill Goldberg

Best with a microphone: Ric Flair

Best Aerial Moves: The Great Muta

Best Brawler: Bam Bam Bigelow

Best Female Wrestler: Chyna

Favorite Announcer: Bobby "The Brain" Heenan

[Truth]

Its not as fake as you think, after every match they are in pain...... They know whos going to win but its not like they are actors, Actors dont jump 20 feet off something onto someone with no padding, Actors dont get thrown through flaming tables, Actors dont land the wrong way and almost break a neck,

What is the point??!! I hate to day this but DUH!!! - I think alot of people look at it the same way that you see a soap opera, go to the movies, a TV program, the oscars etc. It's called entertainment. Sure I could read a book, ride a bike, run with my dogs, go swimming, work, work, work........ At the end of the day I choose what I want to see and wrestling is funny and entertaining! Oh by the way I love Ric Flair and Hulk and The Rock and, and...............

[ILuvJoandBlair]

Wrestling gets on my nerves now, but when I was like 4 I only liked it for Hog Cogan or however you spell his name.

[DJM77]

I quit watching wrestling about six months ago. I got sick of it. It is very fake and very vulgar. Most of the wrestlers got on my nerves. Especially Stone Cold , Triple H and Chyna. It's extremely obvious that the latter two are heavy steroid users.

[Kay Scarpetta]

In my opinion, I think it's people who just wanna kill other people. If it's not, then it sure as hell looks like it.

Ooooooh :blush: I knew though:)

[Madness]

My favorite wrestler...hmm, tough choice. I've been a fan since the mid 80's so I'm old school. I'd have to choose Definitely Hulk Hogan--and then in no particular order...
-Randy Savage
-Shawn Michaels
-Owen Hart
-Mr. Perfect
-Ric Flair

and my favorite personality in wrestling...the one person I'd like to meet over anyone else...the funniest man to ever call a broadcast.......




Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan!

As I said in my earlier post, I've been watching wrestling for quite a few years. However, like you DJM77, I too have stopped watching in recent months. They've gotten away from actual wrestling, and concentrate more on what goes on in the locker room or away from the arena. Whe Vince McMahon took over WCW and ECW, I think that was the worst thing that could have happened to wrestling. It's just very crude and vulgar now, and not very entertaining.

[Madness]

Forgot one...Lex Luger

But i agree. Wrestling is very vulgar now. I was a lways a bigger fan in the 80's-about 1995. When Luger left WWF, it was all downhill for the WWF then but WCW got better--for a few years only.

Hopefully, when Hogan, Hall and Nash come back things will change. probably not but you never know. As they say, "Anything Can Happen in the WWF!"

[i] and ur wrong cuz u cant tell me that triple h's injury was fake! He got it in a wrestling macth.o and he went on with the macth!and the point is some people like it even if they know that MOST of it is fake! [/B]

Triple-H's injury was real,the reasons

[Penny Lane]

When my son was about 12 (early 80's) I watched it with him. I actually liked the WWF then. It was sooooooooooo funny! Now that I am grown up I think it's dumb.:crazy:
But my facorites were:
Macho Man
Rowdy Roddy Piper( a fellow Scot, Mossopp) LOL
Hillbilly Jim
Andre The Giant
Honky Tonk Man
Ricky Steamboat
Miss Elizabeth was so pretty!


I miss the "good old days"!:D

[Pitooey]

WWE Smackdown has bought in Ray Mysterio.... :clap: :clap: I just wish it was Ray Jr. though. :( But, I still love Ray Mysterio...............:clap: :clap: & he won too............ YAY........... :clap:

[Pitooey]

Well from the sizes of the crowds that go see it they all ""love that Fake""......... :lol: I enjoy looking at it though. I sit with my children and have a fun time making fun of the wrestlers. Plus the neighborhood kids love it too.

No it's not. It used to be real, but the ratings were bad soi they started to use biazarre titles and more sex stories. Don't feel bad.

Everybody knows it's fake! So are sitcoms, soap opera's and movies, yet people come on these boards and talk about them too. Magicians are fake, actors play pretend so what? It's called the suspension of disbelief. That is what makes you go out and enjoy a movie which is all fake. It makes you care about characters in a sitcom or a drama.

Wrestlers are part athlete and part actor and they freely admit that. If it is all fake, how do you explain their Real injuries? Don't mock people for enjoying something, especially something that you know nothing about. It's rude, it's asinine and is f'n uncalled for. You are entitled to an opinion, but not at the expense of mocking anybody who actually does enjoy it.

[letsgoreyes]

lol i like it again!:lol:

So you are aware that it's all fake. Good for you. I congratulate you on your superior mental capabilities.
I think you should probably read my first post again because I wasn't "mocking" all wrestling fans. I hate wrestling and since the person who posted this thread was looking for people's opinions on the subject I felt compelled to say so. I didn't realise that this thread was only for people who enjoyed the 'sport'.
You, on the other hand, are the one who is being insulting. Don't dare call me asinine and rude just cos I don't enjoy watching a bunch of rednecks screaming and shouting while watching a bunch of second-rate actors in bad costumes pretend to hit each other (yes, I was being insulting that time).
Some people are aware that wrestling is fake - I know that. But there are also a hell of a lot of people - people who I know personally - who take it seriously and that is what I hate about it.

I love the Undertaker. The old school Undertaker I should say. I mean I like him as the American Badass, but I really miss him as the Phenom. You know with Paul Bearer, the urn, the gloves, the casket matches, the long coat. In fact I just bought a 1994 T-shirt on Ebay of the Undertaker. It's the one where on the front is just a purple hand coming out of the body bag. It's so cool!

So which was it? Because I read your first post and made sure to quote it so you could see for yourself what You said. I took your comments to mean "All" wrestling fans, which I am one.

[edwardwoodbine]
