In 5 second bursts yeah....
[quote]The beauty of pro wrestling is you can build it the way you want because you can determine who is going to be your top star whereas in real sport like UFC, Tennis etc anything can happen and your top star can get knocked out by an unknown costing money and ruining plans.[/quote]
But the whole excitement of competing is that anything can happen. If the winner is predetermined, all those threats, all that shouting, boasting, eyes bulging, and neck veins throbbing from the wrestlers means nothing. It's all an act (and wrestlers are BAD actors).
I'm not saying there isn't a skill in it. Doing the throws and holds without harming eachother is a skill in itself, but seriously, it's fucking awful stuff in my opinion. Where's the adrenalin rush with fixed results? How can you pay money to go and watch a wrestler you know is going to lose because that's the way it's been organised?
I just don't get what the audience get out of it, apart from a few supersize big macs, a baseball cap that's too big -even for their fat heads-, and looking like a mentally deficient twat. And while I'm on this rant, what's with all the fucking ponytails? I mean, isn't pink lycra enough for fucks sake? Do they look at themselves on tv and think, 'Ooh, I don't look foolish enough in my pink shorts and lime green boots, I think I need a peroxide, curly ponytail, and orange spray tan to top it off!' Or 'I think I may dress like Paul from Bluetit today and perform in a gimp mask!' I tell you what really gets me - it's when they grap the mic off the commentator and start screaming into the camera, all bug-eyed and coked up. I imagine there are thousands of chubby 10 year olds who are loving it while they're tucking in to their 3rd Kentucky bucket, the fat little freaks. Their dads need a good hiding too for letting their kids watch it - pricks.
Wrestling must just be for all those geeky kids at school who were crap at sport. You played tennis and all you got was 'let me win this time!' or take them footballing and you get 'let me score, let me score'! You fixed the game so they could win once in a while. Exactly like wrestling really; it's all fixed.
Mind you, that Torrie Wilson looks fantastic !wink!
As you can see, the WWE now deemed officially crap. Next.....
