Anyone who thinks that wrestling can't be an art form, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ANvKlcT6F4

Of course I'm wasting my time, considering we have the intelligence level of a third grade class room in this forum.
Fantastic match, all those insane suplexes were great to watch. I've never even seen the sleeper suplex before this match. I don't know how Kenta got up after being spiked on his head on that first big suplex. Makes me want to get back into Japan wrestling.
Misawa died from a back suplex recently. According to some people in this thread it defies their logic of what's real.

Let me dumb it down for the fool who said it was his opinion that it was fake.

Wrestling is staged. That's common knowledge. The pain is very real.

What wrestlers refer to as bumps are very painful. Do a wikipedia search of Chris Benoit. After he killed his family they did ab autopsy to find that he had a brain of a 70 year old Alzheimer patient. Years of enduring pain day after day on his skull had taken it's toll, and he lost his mind.

You can say that wrestling is fake, and that it's your opinion. The fact of the matter remains, wrestling is staged but real, and you're an idiot. You're spitting in the faces of those who have given their entire lives to do what they do, and they do it to entertain you.
Don't waste your time trying to convince the couple people who think wrestling is fake and stupid. If they simply do not like it and think its fake then you can try to convince them till your blue in the face and start crapping gold nuggets, they wont change their stand. Instead focus on the bunch of us who like(d) wrestling and can respect what they do even if they don't like wrestling as much anymore. You can go around trying to convince everyone to see it your way but in the end, who cares. If you are happy with wrestling then does it really matter what someone over the internet thinks?


I'm a huge Detroit Red Wings fan, do you know how many people bash my team? do you know how many people think we suck? even though we won the cup in 2008 and 2002 and considered the best hockey team of the last 15 years. The Wings have possibly the richest history among all NHL teams, behind only the Montreal Canadiens. The 2002 Red Wings roster is quite possibly the best group of players on 1 team the NHL has ever seen. yet people still think we suck. I can try to convince them that the Wings don't suck, but then I wont have enough time to watch the games and follow the team, instead all my attention will go to the bunch of people who think the team sucks. Welcome to planet earth, ill be your tour guide.
i watched that video and i still think its is fake BUT i also find it entertaining i still enjoy watching matches every once and awhile even tho i think it is fake.
Again...you brainless zealot, staged but real.
Just don't try and convert people its not worth it
I Fucking Would

I watched betwwen 1989-1994, had a break cause i couldnt watch it without satalite then it emerged on terestial TV in like 1999-2000 and watched it til about 2002.

I felt WWF/E got really stale...just 6-7ft muscley dudes not doing very much. WcW got really good with the new blood, graveyard matches and hardcore matches all over the place...it was great.

I used to watch it a long time ago. I grew out of it.
I never really had a particular favourite wrestler, I just watched it for hte sake of watching it.

My favorite wrestler is rather self explanatory. For those who say its fake, you wouldn't call a movie fake would you so why call it fake.
For those who think its fake i recommend either watching BJW or NJPW or even ROH. It will change your opinion on the risks they take to entertain people, Calling it fake is just a slap in the face to every wrestler.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UkbLMHhFhw watch that, wrestling is a fight with a predetermined outcome and predetermined spots.

i dont think anyone would deny that the impacts and the chair shots, being thrown off of cells etc isnt real, but it is staged and coriographed in a fashion as to totally minimise injury. Punches are pulled, and weapon strikes are just hard enough to be heard etc.

So you can see why someone would say its not real, the rivalry's, story's and victories are all written out just like just soap opera's. This is where some people have a problem with it.

I've recently been watching over old ppv's again, i forgot how entertaining some fights were. HHH and cactus jack streetfight at wrestlemania 2000 is a classic.

Not to be the troll, but i never really got it. To me, two big ignorant clowns that jump on each other aren't that much of a deal.

I watched it for a short time when I was a young kid until I found out it was fake. My favorite guys were probably Mankind, X Pac, and The Rock.

HHH vs Cactus Jack in a street fight was from Royal Rumble 2000 and i wouldn't really call it a classic it was good but there is much better stuff out there.
All im going to say on is it real is it fake debate is Would you call a movie fake no why because it is entertainment wrestling is the same, yes it is fake but there is no need to point out the obvious we all know it is and it doesn't change a wrestling fans enjoyment of it enjoyment of it so leave it at that.
If you are looking for a some good wrestling watch look up Bryan Danielson vs Nigel Mcguniess it is an excellent match that anyone could enjoy and they show you some of the real side of wrestling, for example Nigel gets his head busted open by repeatedly being pulled into the ring post it shows the real stuff they endure.

In its self it shows ignorance by saying that, Even if you dont enjoy it show it some respect.
