bishopshodan Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 If you're an adult and you tell me that you follow WWE ( not wrestling, that's a real thing) or whatever league of pretend cuddle fighting. I have to honest, I will judge you on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I really haven't kept up with the new guys, but those guys from 20 years ago were extremely entertaining - not the actual wrestling, but the character interaction. It was the best Soap on TV at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonberries Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 I haven't paid attention to it myself since the days of All Star wrestling and Ron Morier. Gene Kiniski was one of the all time greats when it came to cutting promos. His interviews with Morier were gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We watched back then too. I think anyone with an ounce of common sense knew the wrestling was choreographed. I didn't want to see them really try to hurt each other anyway. I lmao the first time I saw Scotty Too Hotty do the worm, then jump up in the air and pounce. Now that was a finishing move! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was really smart though, because it catered to kids, who became the fans when the WWF(E) really took off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a very digestible, but he knew how to control his masses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a long walk off a short pier. The thread is not necessarily targeting the hard core professional wrestling fan Johnny. It's just pointing out an interesting sociological phenomenon. Of course wrestling fans are more than welcome and are probably less delusional than, say, a person who watches CNN and believes what they're hearing. At least wrestling fans know what they're watching is a work. For the most part anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penxv Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 How can you not love Hulk Hogan? He was the greatest wrestler of all time. It's a shame that they ejected him from the hall of fame. Same thing with Pete Rose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
