UFC Fight Night Dern V Ribas: Definitely not Pro Wrestling
- Thread starter Nastycrow
- Start date
So none of you were wrestling fans at one point or another? I'll say, i was a die hard fan until wrestlemania 35. After that i stopped really caring full time for it and it gradually stopped, because i was more into mma at this point by far anyway.
But just curious, none of you wrestling fans?
Idk man
I got a goat list!!!!
1. HHH (always felt Triple H was the greatest wrestler of all time, greatest promos, made you care about the matches more, great heel, great face, learned so much of his opponents before the match. Goat to me. Also, just awesome.
2. Ric flair, no need to explain we all know why and who he is. Legendary.
3. Shawn Michaels, When it comes to in ring work getting you fans, HBK really was the first to do it, without needing a mic. When he was with Janetty they tag teamed everywhere, but we all knew Michaels was the better of that tag team. Incredible matches.
4. Hulk Hogan, the biggest wrestling star of all time, by far. Not even close. Man got a 20 minute standing ovation (slightly exaggerating, but check out the rock vs hogan match, that ovation is love... Very rarely dows an athelete capture an audience like that and still over 20+ years after his retirement... still the biggest wrestling star of all time. Hulk was an ok wrestler, but as an icon, the guy sold more seats than anyone, put up iconic images for the fans for years. (Bodyslamming andre the giant! Beating yokozuna! The match with warrior) Idk i love this s---.
I can understand why others don't, because so many people see athletes and think what they should be doing is real. But it's an orchestrated performance, with some of the best athletes in the world. Lot of injuries, death, etc.. happen so I respect what they do.

Stone Cold was still performing when I watched. We were too poor for the premium channels though so all I got was shitty squash matches and slideshow replays on a Saturday morning. I don't actually hate on it, just enjoy busting chops. Had a blast at a b league show in Mexico City when I was there though, good day out

Bobo Brazil and Big Cat or you don't know shitt!
I used to watch Lucha way back when with my homegirl and her mom all the time.
Pretty much just smoke weed, drink, eat, and "Los Rudos, Los Rudos, Los Rudos!!!"

I watched the Ultimate Warrior body slam Andre the Giant live when I was a kid. It's ok to watch that stuff when you are a kid. If you don't grow out of it about the same time that your balls drop, you have some issues.

Nah, some people just have what they like. Wrestling is always intended to be fun, no matter what, they will do everything they can to entertain you and try to give you, your money's worth. That is always a fact.
Now grow out of it, thinking Stone Cold is really beating up Booker in a store, then yeah. But enjoying the funny moment, separating reality for a moment, because obviously if it was real, cops are called, security is breaking them up, dumb people who think they're tough are gonna get involved. It's a lot.
But it's fun. Their strength is real, their athleticism is real, their coordination is real, etc... Just because the ending isn't unplanned, doesn't take away from the incredible things these people do.
Idk I was about 23 the last time I was fully excited about a wrestling event, I still sporadically watch every now and then, but I don't mind seeing people enjoy it. it's fun and it's what it's meant to.
It's like me telling someone not to enjoy a tv show they like or a movie, because in MY EYES, it's... lesser than what I watch? Idk. Grew up and everyone always said the same thing 'you know that's fake right?' I do know it's choreographered, yes. Doesn't take away from the actual talent I'm seeing.
I'm not gonna leave going, man the rock punched that man 86 times in the face and no blood came out, soft *** knuckles, man needs to hit the heavybag more, get his wrist grips on to get some more power in those strikes. -_-

If any of you guys have equal or more disdain for Cory than I do then go to this link and like my post. He really pissed me off with this one.
How Does A Blind ‘Count,’ Count?
How did Michael Bisping pass athletic commission eye exams for the final 11 fights — including a Middleweight championship-winning performance — when he only had one working eye? “The Count” reveals his secret.

LoL. Cory is more of a blockhead or a knucklehead than a meathead. But I'm with you on the sentiment.
