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.






We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

Most sensible, thought-out post I've read on RLFans for a long time. :CLAP:

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! :twisted: :lol:

Not in MMA you can't.

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