Another wrestler dies!!!!!!!!!!

[CJ]

Too late. You had your chance. Delete it.

That always used to happen me when I was young. I'd think of a great comeback for an argument about five minutes after I'd lost it.

its like when your telling your mates something that happened. then you think of soooo many comebacks

though my best comeback (admittedly poor) was at high school. my english teacher asked why my handwritting wasnt as good as Elizabeths. i replied in a flash "as i dont have elizabeths hands" didnt got down too well oh bugger never mind hahaha

[Joe King]

competition isnt sitting there doing your job and taking your turn to be a champion.

why do you think that being fit makes something a sport ben?

Its not being fit, its being able to perform wrestling of different kinds. I have always thought sport to be for those individuals who are much more talented than those in society. These are some of the best wrestlers in the world who perform some of the best fights by performing something that has never been seen on tv before

It is different. They are so many aspects which make it different like maneuvers,athleticism and at times the ad-libbed match

[CJ]

dancing have maneuvers. and they are athletic. probably more athletic than wrestlers

and ad libbed? that shoes how it is so not a sport.

Jesus Christ dude ...

Wrestling is SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT and not SPORT!!!

The wrestlers are all professional athletes. They have more endurance and stamina than most sportsmen. The only difference is that wrestling is sports entertainment and that there is no competition - wrestlers know everything before the match: all the moves, who's going to win, everything. They are actors in a way.

And yes, some of them are wrestlers because of the "sport", some of them use wrestling for other things like The Rock and others.

But once you sign a contract, you must do what Vince McMahon tells you. Period. And WWE are having shows 3 to 4 times per week in different cities and they're always flying around. Due to this fact and the fact that they can't see their families and McMahon telling you you have to be in a superb form all the time, some of them (ab)use drugs, pain killers etc. That's why some of them die.

And again, sports entertainment ain't sports

So ad libbed matches where wrestlers do whatever they want, do forbidden moves, doesn't make that match a sporting contest? Here's me think sport was all made up

ben,

i think those matches are in the minority.

its like saying football is deadly due to the fact that some people have died while playing it.

That has nothing to do with the point of wrestling being a sport. I'm not saying its a proper sport, its more entertainment however I'm saying there's some aspects of sport in there

[CJ]

i know you say there are aspects of sport in it. but i cant see it. there is nothing sporty about it.

Is weightlifting a sport?

[CJ]

i would say it possibly is. why would you?

[Kilteragh]

Is weightlifting a sport?

Yes because each of them is competing with others to see who can lift the most weight, as opposed to dramatically prancing around as per a script, before the pre-determined "winner" claims victory.

Kilteragh

can you explain why grandstand was good?
