The Wrestling Thread

[Boogs]

What's with all the needle guys?

Dunno but I might watch it if they wore these masks.

Why save it. It's grown men in tights trying to entertain kids. The kids have moved on and found something more worthy of their time.

Shouldn't ever take the piss out of someone for enjoying something.

A younger version of myself enjoyed wrestling quite a lot, not so much now but im always interested in what's going on, especially since it is meant to be "dying" as a spectacle.

More back to the main point though, just because you don't rate it doesn't mean everybody else doesn't, I play a lot of video games which are considered by many to be a child's activity but I enjoy them sometimes more than anything else.

I also watch and love and train MMA which involves wrestling, okay not exactly steel chairs get the ladder and pretend to elbow drop but a lot of people tie it with the same brush.

I still can't tell if you were being a 100% serious never can with you, but if you're going out your way to try and put Alex down just because he likes something you don't it's a bit out of order and you're better than that mate.

F1 isn't sport? Your having a lagh but then you think a fridge magnet and a dog lead are good presents.

Why if its not a sport o you not want to move it?

[Alex]

Not really.

Fitness and exercise isn't sport. Neither in my mind is Formula 1. In fact F1 should be lumped in with the technology forum.

It's something people enjoy. Why is that bad?

[CJ]

If being an adult is how you want to discribe it I don't think I'll bother.

Maybe I should act like you and pretend to be a duck on the Internet or whatever?

I don't think I do. People call me duck and refer to me as a duck. Subtle difference.

You are correct that it's not a sport I don't think anyone is pretending it is though.

So we agree that it's in the wrong section.

It is for kids. It's not a sport so shouldn't be in general sports.

[Alex]

You win. You've changed my mind.

In all seriousness there is plenty out there that people enjoy and reducing it to Kids TV is just wrong.

Bit like saying the Simpsons is a kids cartoon. Lots is aimed at kids, but when that's on I just don't bother with it. What I have enjoyed has been a damn sight more fun than anything Liverpool have offered up in the last 18 months

[CJ]

Well as an adult it might be overudue for you.

It's not a spot and the number of people finding it entertaining is dropping.

I'd rather powrewash the drive, paint the fence or any other diy which I hate doing.

If I want entertainment I can watch films good TV. I can also watch proper sport. Or o to the pub and listen to live music.

It must be hard for you enjoying kids TV that even the kids dont like any more. You have my sympathy.

[Alex]

Insightful.

Please go ahead and tell me what people should be doing for enjoyment instead?

[CJ]

How do you save wrestling now though?

Can you bring it back attitude era now it's towards the kids, is there any real stars that the wwe has now?

Kane in a title match and relying on Lesnar sounds like last resort.

Meh.

IMO WWE is the best its been for a long time at the moment. Its clear that all the old guys are on their last go around. So milk them for everything before its done.

Reigns, Rollins, Ambrose, Wyatt, Owens, Balor, Zyan and Bryan are all going to carry this company going forward. Most of the stories revolve around those too.

Past caring about what goes on behind the scenes and TV ratings. As long as I find it fun to watch I will. When its not ill stop.

I will say that ratings across the world are dropping because of different ways to consume TV. What they are losing with the TV side must be slowly getting picked up in Youtube views and ad revenue.
