Is Wrestling A Sport?

[violette829]

Alright. I never thought about this before, but one of my closest friends just joined a wrestling organization. I used to HATE wrestling with a passion. It was the dumbest sport in the world for me. But, recently he taught me a couple of moves. We had this "mini-match" a week ago..and it was soooo painful. Alright, maybe it was because he's a 6 ft 230 lb. guy with bigger muscles than a pit bull...but still. The moves required a lot of precise techniques. I dunno, I still would NEVER watch it one TV, but I love to see it live, when he's wrestling. It's pretty entertaining.

So, what do u guys think?

If you're talking the WWE wrestling, no. How the hell is choreographed fighting a sport?

[violette829]

I think many sports are actually more "planned" than we think. I was talking about the actual wrestling itself. It's not all planned or choreographed. It's a very difficult task. I used to think that it was all planned, and that it didn't even hurt the wrestlers when they would fight, but IT DOES.lol I dunno, maybe it's just entertainment? What about highschool wrestling teams and such? Are they considered "real sports"?

haha

I remember watching WWF, and WWC with my brother, back when we were...10-12..?

It was pretty fun at the time-

There was Brett the HITMAN heart!
Hulk Hogan
Macho Man
Undertaker
Yoko-zuna-"bonzaiii"

ummmmmmm...who else who else...
xxxx, that guy who had a mask drawn on his face-was my favorite- I forgot his name....

can't remember anymore names-

but it used to be fun - and it wasn't as dramatically staged as it is now.

They ruined the whole thing with all the girl fighters, and then Vince McMahan(whatver the name is) got into the whole fighting(acting) and, his whole lame family.

The white mask?

something like stinger or scorpion? with black clothes and sorta long hair. that guy was cool

anyway now i look at the commercials for that stuff and im like what kind of redneck lowlifes actually watch this stuff. but around 7th grade i actually liked it.

haha, I know, it's so lame!

but I don't think it was as bad before, that's why we watched it.
lol

yeahh, I think his name was Stinger- something like that.


I knew the moves too, something like-jack-knife- I know that one.

Are we all forgetting the tax collector guy?

haha, the crowd would get all angry because he would say that he collects taxes.

And then the undertaker would die and come back again, lex luger would make his man tits bounce, and Canadian legend Bret Hart would walk around in pink tights.


Wow....pure entertainment...

I hate WWE wrestling. the other one is o.k., albeit boring.

The question should be more like: Is curling a sport?

Someone link Anonymouse to this. He should get a kick out of that.

The tax collector was Irwin R. Scheister (IRS). Damn, too many classic moments/wrestlers.
