SoulMonster Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 It's like theatre, why shouldn't adults enjoy it, except that it is scantily clad, sweaty neanderthals who grope at each other and do a lot of muscle posturing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I watched a wrestling match on TV once. The most memorable aspect of it for me was the silly argument they have beforehand. I know that it's men wearing Lycra and trying to entertain, but this guy actually said that his mum had cancer to try to get sympathy. His mum may have been sick, but it's inappropriate to discuss I'm the workplace and most social situations. I bet she wasn't impressed either.

classicrawker Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I am not a fan but it is good theater to some...but do have to admit I used to watch GLOW (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) on Sunday mornings in the mid 80's while fighting a hangover when I was younger.....was big fan of Daisy who dressed up like Daisy Duke...........there was just something about good looking women dressed up in ridiculous costumes wrestling with each other.....

Ace Nova Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 What's there not to like about this....In all seriousness, I haven't been a big fan of professional wrestling since I was about 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I was really into WWE when I was a kid, in elementary school and a bit in middle school, I used to watch it with my brother and my friends. Stone Cold Steve Austin was my favorite wrestler.I don't really see the appeal in it anymore though. Even in elementary school I was getting tired of the "storylines" and just wanted to see people go through tables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I have no idea. One of my roomates watches it, from what I've seen the scripted trash talking isn't even funny, and there's just something I don't get about how anybody could possibly root for one of those bare chested meat heads, let alone in a choreographed "fight". Not for me I guess Edited October 28, 2013 by sweetness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONEZY Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Haven't watched wrestling in ages. But I have to admit, when I was younger, I dug it. Saw 2 wrestling shows in person(not TV). Saw Andre the Giant in 1984. And in 1986 saw Hulk Hogan vs Rowdy Roddy Piper. It was a lot of fun.But I grew out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Linguini Occurrence Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Only approx 10% of American adults follow professional wrestling, and the numbers have been dropping fast. http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/Other_News_4/article_11803.shtml#.Um7DZFOQiUQI think wrestling used to be a lot more popular back in the day because it wasn't openly fake like it is now, and there's only so many times you can do the exact same storylines.Nowadays wrestling falls into the same category as action heroes and comic book characters, it's something many get into during childhood but only a few continue to enjoy it in adulthood.

Seeing a grown man rooting for one of these guys like it is the same as a boxing or MMA fight is just kind of weird IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcano62 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Watching sports entertainment is like watching any other tv show or a movie.Does anybody watch a movie and complain about how fake or scripted it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facekicker Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Sports entertainment. Got to love the way they market these things. Like classifying pizza as a serving of veg because of the tomato sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
