Does anyone watch World Wrestling Entertainment (Federation) If anybody in the U.S (probably other contries too) watches TV, you have to have flipped through the channels and saw it for at least a few seconds

I saw it once and I think it sucks. I watched the whole show just because it was... well amusing. I mean to see what makes it so popular. Lousy acting and pretended live violence... not for me.

As i've stated, It's my guilty sin. It's not something I'd tie in to ADOMers but......

Sure it can be fun to watch, but I just can't take it seriously enough to bother watching it regulary (wich is a moot point seeng as none of the (two) channes I can recieve show wresteling)...

What facinates me the most about wresteling is that quite a lot of the "fans" apear to be oblivious to the fact that it's all just a show and that the "winner" is determined before they even enter the ring...

I know it's a show but sometimes it's so damn fun to watch.

Didn't mean to imply that you believed it was real, just that you can start to wonder when you look at how worked up some of the spectators seem to get...

But yeah it can be fun to watch, personaly I prefeer a good movie or tv-series though... Preferably sci-fi.

Rumor has it that those signs people hold up in the crowd are actually handed out by promoters as people come into the arena.

I sometimes watch wrestling for the same reason I sometimes watch the "Strongest Man" competitions. Some of the stuff wrestlers do is amazing. I once saw one guy throw another off the top of a 10-12 foot fence into the ring. This guy (the thrower) then did a backflip off the top of the fence and "landed" on the fellow lying on the mat. It was a great stunt.

That's true. Some of the stunts they make are pretty good. I always watch the "strongest man" competitions. Since I train actively in the gym my interest in those is obvious.

I used to wrestle in our pool (before we moved) and I could do amazing things. I was also an amatuer wrestler for awhile. It's rumored that blind people make the best wrestlers.

The signs are handed out by promoters BTW.

Granted, some of those stunds do require a great deal of skill to pull off without actualy killing (or even bruising!) someone...

Pro wrestling is a soap type drama for uneducated violence loving men. i love it. this weeks raw was good, but last weeks kane vs jericho was an awsome match. some of the fun is predicting who will win and how.

FINALLY!!

Did you see the Eddie Guerrero Vs. Edge match on Smackdown? It was poetry in motion.

Wrestling is catharsis (I'm not sure about the grammer on the word.) I watch it because I relieve stress through it.

Poor soul. Smackdown is better. Bischoff hasn't found the right mix of wrestling and story yet.

heey... this is cool, some people like wrestling.
Here in finland this one cable channel started showing smackdown about a year ago and raw began showing a week ago. i'm just not sure about how much they are behind what's happening there in the states... but it's a whole lotta fun! and they're also coming to helsinki on the 24th! and i've got good seats :)
