Try telling a wrestler that they're not an athlete. You'd get a well deserved smack in the mouth. (Possibly even a real one!). These guys deseve respect for the punishment they put their bodies through. (Even if the results might be prematurely forecast).

Either way, RIP Crush. You were awesome in the early 90's. especially when you remembered you were Hawaiian and needed the thickest accent after months of speaking normally.

'Aloha. Me name be being Crush.'

They are not athletes.

it is very simple. no one is saying what they do is easy but its not sport and it doesnt make them athletes. very fit hard working entertainers maybe. but not an athlete.

according to the oxford english dictionary an athlete is

noun 1 a person who is good at sports. 2 a person who competes in track and field events.

Now wrestilng isnt track or field is it. And being good at wrestling would make you good at other sports.

according to the OE this is sport

1 an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others

now where is wrestling falls down is the competition.

If wrestlers say it isnt sport why do you?

[CJ]

and i take it by prematurely forecast you mean

FIXED or FAKE?

[denny ammo]

I take your point mate. If you go by the definition of sport as playing against each other, you're totally right. We all know that when two wrestlers oppose each other they're technically partners. But I think you'll agree these guys put a lot on the line to produce these 'shows', and it would be churlish to suggest they're not proper athletes.

[CJ]

i obviously dont think its churlish as the definition of athlete shows they arent.

At no point have i said they are not in supreme condition and they work very hard. they are and do both of these but it doesnt make them athletes or make it a sport.


iall i am saying is its not a sport. i cant see why it causes offence with people when wrestlers say it isnt a sport.

[cobain]

**** definitions! Wrestling isn't sport but wrestlers are atheletes. Period.

From your definition, you're saying that boxing isn't sport, because it's not on the track or in the field? See where strict definitions bring you?

[Alex]

Its an entertainment. Im a wrestling fan and can see its not a sport. UFC and boxing are sports as the winner is not pre arranged. They are however as cobain says athletes.

[CJ]

boxers are boxers not athletes.

[cobain]

boxers are boxers not athletes.

Oh come on now, this is getting ridiculous

[CJ]

no it is correct. basing something on fact might be ridiculous to you but it is how alot of the world operates

anyway i think all have said what they think on this. none of us will change our minds on it.


and i cant believe most of my posts have been about wrestling

time to up the post count on the reason i am here!! the mighty reds!!!!

[DeeGame]

great thread

[Joe King]

I see Marsh the hardcore wrestling fan is back with his far right views on wrestling. Denny dont bother- Marsh is fixated on the belief wrestling is 'fake'

[CJ]

yep ben your right it is a far right belief that wrestling is fake


i believe hitler had it as one of his central aims in the second world war.














i think bollocks is the word i am looking for.
