My arguement is that wrestling is 'fake' as part of a design to be entertaining, but for me, watching two guys legitimately beat the s**t out of each other just makes me feel uncomfortable to be honest, same as it does when it kicks off in a pub/club. Fair play to anyone who follows it, just can't say I'll ever be one of the crossover fans really.
Same here. Any idiot can kick, gough, punch and headbutt someone to the ground.
So much so that it happens throughout the country nearly every night, outside taxi ranks, kebab shops and nightclubs. There is not art in that, in my opinion. It takes a real skill and dedication to put on a good wrestling match, in which you build up excitement and crowd intensity, through the use of athleticism and mannerisms to convey (if feigned) injury and emotion.

Most sensible, thought-out post I've read on RLFans for a long time.
I actually suggested to my mate when walking past a notoriously (sp) rough pub in Hull that they should install a mini Octagon in there for competitions!

You need to try watching some MMA if you don't think it requires skill or dedication.
