Yep, and the women must find it just as entertaining as there were heaps there. Or maybe they were just perving?

If it's choreographed and they know who's going to win, it's not a sport. Sure, wrestling is a sport, but this over-the-top lights and name calling isn't it. Do the actors involved in "pro-wrestling" also compete in the sport or have they given that up? It takes ability for sure, but so does Jackie Chan kung-fu scenes or the stunt driving that Matt Damon does as Bourne. It's all entertainment. kristarellas last blog post..Multiple WordPress Blogs

Yeah, now that would be good to see.

:c) That's just part of the show for the ongoing storylines. Pro rasslin' has actual staff writers and all of that. Before the matches, the cats already know who is going to win. They get together in the back and say, "I'm going to do this, then we'll go into that, then let's work it so that we end-up outside the ring and I'll go to hit you with the bell. That's when the subterfuge will happen and we'll end the match." Basically like that. But things do go wrong, people do get mad and actually hit one another, and they are throwing real punches and so-forth. ManoDogss last blog post..All Good Things Must Come to an End

Thanks for that bit of info mate. The thing that pisses me off about the wrestling is the injustice of many of many of the outcomes of the matches where they won by subterfuge. I know it is all for show but I find it bloody irritating.

Growing up in Memphis, TN, I actually have some insight into the sport, and I agree with you that it is very much an athletic endeavor, but the truth is that the matches are generally choreographed before they step in the ring and the winner is preordained. But that takes nothing away from the athleticism involved. ManoDogss last blog post..All Good Things Must Come to an End

Although wrestling itself is a sport I agree that Smackdown is more entertainment than sport, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the stars of the show are not athletes in their own right.

Of course it's total entertainment... as a fictional TV show or movie is. There's no actual sport there. kristarellas last blog post..Multiple WordPress Blogs
