Honestly, go watch it up close and you'll realize how absolutely intense of an athlete with a daredevil mindset these guys have to be. Yes, the outcome is pre-determined, but watching someone do a triple backflip off of a ten foot turnstile onto someone else/slightly padded concrete is impressive.

Ehhh it’s all choreographed and practiced ad nauseam. Sure they’re in good shape and physical specimens. You have to be to perform those feets. Still doesn’t make it any less silly. I’ve seen it live working OT at the events and I came away thinking it’s even more silly. Lol

No difference between watching a movie and watching wrestling.

It's an aerobatics soap opera in flamboyant clothing for men.

To each their own though!

Not a fan of wrestling in the slightest, but those stunts can be legit dangerous.

David Lee Roth was more impressive jumping off the Van Halen drum riser back in the day because their music was real... be it was from the heart or the crotch lol

You might not converse with them a lot, I don’t know, but I know plenty of women that watch it.

So silly! Which is part of the allure!

Did Shane just tear his ACL. I saw his knee buckle.

way back.. like 1987...my cousin Nicki was dating Vince McMahon...when it was the WWF.. her son, my cousin Joe...wanted me to be his tag team partner, said they would waive the two year drama requirement... I was like, "why they require drama?"
he was going to be Chief Geronimo, and I The Terminator
then I broke my back

So is 90% of the TV you see and all of the movies you see.

I will say that I haven't followed wrestling closely since the WCW days. With that said, when Wrestlemania was in Glendale some years back, I took my son to it. It is probably in my top 2 sporting events I have seen in my lifetime. It is absolutely bonkers live and in person.

Professional Wrestling is like religion...something you follow when you're younger and don't know any better.

I can still see value in professional wrestling.

Athletes in colorful costumes putting on a show for rabid fans.
Just like the NFL

Or any other sport really. Which is why I consider it more of a sport than just entertainment, scripted or no.

Any other “sport” would bring out charges of cheating, game fixing, etc. Not a true sport as currently “played”.
