Who is this meant for? Veeky Forums neckbeards?I always thought this was fantasy stuff for children, but then people mention how 'the undertaker' had a winning streak of 21 and they go in on win% of fighters and such. I don't understand. Only autists and children don't know that it's scripted, so what weight does any of that even carry?
I saw a youtube vid, and it even -looks- fake as shit. Why do adults like it?? I don't understand
Because its entertaining and the actual athletic ability that goes into it is astounding.
I don't even give a fuck about WWE but even I know this.
Are you intentionally being stupid to try and make a controversial thread, or are you really that incapable of basic critical thinking?
Angel Long
this, it's entertainment in it's simplest form, everyone knows it's scripted, you don't go to see a Michael Bay movie because of it's realism that said I don't watch wrestling but I can understand why people like it, although some do take it a bit to seriously
Dylan Murphy
Well, whether it's entertaining or not is subjective. But the 'athletic ability into it is astounding'??
You've got to be shitting me, right? How is rehearsed theatre gymnastics even remotely comparable to actual gymnastics, wrestling, boxing or MMA in general? Fuck you.
Don't get me wrong, it does require skill, but 'astounding'? Haha, fuck off mate. Here's your (You)
John Garcia
a good percentage watch it ironically, the rest are dumb white trash
Dominic Long
Wrestling is not fake, trust me I've seen this shit live and it's as real as it's gets.
Owen Smith
Remember when wrestlers had amazing physiques(for people on the road 5-6 days a week) and were tough as nails?
Nowadays we all have these fucking limp wristed sissies with lovehandles and 13 inch arms in social media with absolutely no personality.
Oliver Adams
WWE is the highest form of entertainment
Zachary Hughes
When they jump from a turnbuckle, they actually have to jump. Would you do that? Would you be able to do something like that knowing you're destroying your body? It takes a lot of dedication and work.
Noah Foster
Just watch literally any of the many documentaries journalists have made where they train with wrestlers.
You wouldn't stand a chance
Hunter Watson
I have friends that get together for the ppv's, for WrestleMania we had a huge bbq. It was great, we had a good time. I don't watch it like they do, but it's entertaining for the time being.
Stop your bitching, you sound like one those faggots that cries about people who watch anime, Vidya or that go out and get hammered on weekends
Kevin Gonzalez
If you didn't grow up with it as a kid I can't imagine the lifestyle you had
Literally every kid around the world was into it
Jayden Torres
How often do boxers hit each other with chairs? How often do gymnasts flip onto folding tables?
Jordan Lewis
>boxing or MMA in general? Fuck you.
>fight once every 3 months or longer >fight lasts less than 5 minutes. So athletic.
Chase Ramirez
...
Jackson Martin
on what planet isn't eccentric muscle bound freaks slamming each other with ladders and diving off ladders not entertainment in it's purest form
WWE is definitely rehearsed, but if you're talking about the smaller level hardcore shit then yeah, that's realer
Owen Mitchell
Maybe if you're from a white trash area. Not denying the guys are athletic. I remember watching it when I was in kindergarten and thinking it was really stupid and fake. It was way too over the top for me. I grew up in the time of Hulk Hogan and Macho Man and I thought it was absolutely ridiculous. Now days I can look back and laugh at it, but at the time I couldn't believe anyone could take it seriously. And that was my 5 year old brain.
Jason Hernandez

You're never going to make it, OP
Ryan Gray
this 10000x
>also LOL@ all the triggered Amerifats who can't handle the truth of how shitty and laughable their favorite ((((sport)))) is.
Ryan Ortiz
Seriously the atmosphere at a live WWE even is fucking unreal. I've been to a superbowl, several huge scale gigs and the noise levels were nothing like the WWE crowd.
Caleb Long
>the actual athletic ability that goes into it is astounding
Topkek, this has to be a troll.
Only a morbidly obese americunt who have never done a single workout in his entire life would think wrestling requires ANY FORM of "actual athletic ability"
Jeremiah Ward
I bet you think game of thrones is the best show ever. At least wrestling is supposed to be dumb. Don't bother saying "ugh I I I don't that other fake shit either! I'm a complete outlier who doesn't eat up poorly written fiction that everyone takes seriously!"
Wyatt Diaz
>le funny gif
James Jones
>t. knows fuckall about the amount of work that goes into wrestling Get out of your own ass and stop talking about things you know nothing about
Caleb Lopez
m8 seriously look at youtube videos of the training they do
Cooper Anderson
Wrestling is fucking stupid and I'm an American. They need little to no athletic ability because they are helped with every move by the person they "hit". Literally they are caught by the guy they land on/run into/jump into. I used to watch it in college because it was comically stupid and they would constantly fuck up. A lot of Americans that watch it think it's legitimately cool. I once snuck into my neighbors house after they were evicted and left a ton of shit in the house... Including probably 200 wrestling tapes in a closet with nothing else other than a vibrator... And they had all sons. The other family I knew of that was huge into wrestling had a child molesting dad and the kids were all mentally fucked up (retarded, the daughter who he messed was fine but weird, shes my age). So I expect that they're all just screwed up in the head and can't understand that it's not real.
Elijah Gray
Yeah I remember a bunch of retards talking about it every day in one of my high school classes... I'm not sure they believed the punching was real but they definitely believed the drama was real. I remember they actually thought Steve Austin was dead in some truck accident or something.
A lot of wrestling fans are also juggalos.
Adrian Gomez
It's fun. Kills time.
Caleb Parker
>those retards chose to be hit with chairs and throw themselves around for a living >RESPECT IT Lmao, fucking retards.
Eli Miller
Were you also wearing a fedora when you were 5, because this post is euphoric as fuck and you should kys
Isaac Hall
Sorry you couldn't realize fake fighting was fake when you were 5 and pic related wasn't the most ridiculous shit imaginable.
I'd say kill yourself but you probably don't have health insurance and eat 711 food all day so it would be a bit redundant.
Colton Walker
>he chooses to get punched for a living >he chooses to run for a living >she chooses to do twirls with ribbons for a living >they choose to row a fucking boat for a living Just say it's not your cup of tea and move on, because all youre doing right now is fedora tipping and bragging on a chinese cartoon website about how smart you are compared to somebody else, and if serious you should reflect on and consider suicide
Adam Morris
If you can't look back on Macho Man as an adult and realize how spectacular he was as a showman, you are a low test faggot and probably overweight
Jonathan Torres
Yeah, but they actually fight, unlike wrestlers.
Nathaniel Gutierrez
this isn't a troll. this is full blown stupidity.
Lucas Thomas
>watching wrasling >having friends who watch it
The only people I know who still watch this shit are girls and one fat dude. Men get together to watch football or boxing, not mandrama.
Gavin Evans
>throwing >250lb guys around in a way that is fairly safe and also looks authentic isn't impressive
have you ever touched a weight in your life?
Justin Johnson
Did you read my fucking post? I specifically said now days I can look back and laugh at it. As a kid I didn't understand that guy wasn't taking himself seriously and he was jacked up on steroids and coke 24/7, probably living the life. I still think the people that watch this shit seriously have mental issues.
Henry Richardson
To be fair, the other guy is usually doing at least half the work. And it's about as impressive as any stunt in a movie or whatever. Cool, but not impressive like actual competative sports are, especially fighting sports.
Elijah Thomas
yeah the other guy jumps the same time he's being 'thrown'. The stuff they do, the falls, etc is impressive but so is stuff like circ du soleil, and you don't get 10k nascar fans screaming at it like it's a fucking jerry springer show. WWE is like a dramatized day time talk show, people that take it seriously are fucking morons end of story.
William Wright
Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. Wrestling was okay when it had cool, macho characters like Austin, the Rock, Kane, Undertaker, etc. Now it's total garbage.
Jeremiah Brooks
Braun Strowman made CT Fletcher look like a bitch. Look it up on the youtubes.
Professional wrestling in 2017 is far more athletic than it has ever been.
Ethan Myers

Hudson Brooks
>Professional wrestling in 2017 is far more athletic than it has ever been.
Come on now. Aside from Braun, who was a strongman long before he was a wrestler, and a few other guys WWE is full of fat fucks and manlets.
Isaac Ortiz
They never do... because no one in a respectable sport watched by anyone but mongoloids would do that.
This isn't what's supposed to happen in boxing. This is when boxing turns into WWE.
Henry Wood
That's why wwe is fun though. You get stupid shit like that, without actual felonies occurring.
Eli Parker
Except in WWE it's all scripted.
Jason Lopez
which is why I said it's not a felony
Henry Gomez
>no athletic ability required I don't even watch this shit but come on. They throw each other around and do some sick jumps/falls. Plus they outlift you all anyway so who are you to judge athleticism
Isaac Smith
It's not fun because you know it's scripted.
Joseph Morales
Did Crispbenwaaah really kill his family or was it a work?
Nolan Russell
Yeah a 300lb guy falling from that far over and over does a ton of damage to the body. It's why they all get hooked on painkillers and die at 50. That and all the HGH and Coke they probably take for years doesn't help either.
So it's like watching cable porn then?
Carter Cox
>SEETHING
Carson Flores
ya finna pinheads SEETHING
Kayden Hill
Fun fact - that spot was an accident. Foley wasn't supposed to fall through the cage. It broke.
Bentley Reyes
gain height hit the weights have sex
Isaac Sanchez
I think the sport is stupid as fuck and looks retarded but even I know it takes a lot of skill to pull off and still hurts. Obviously it's fake, they punch each other in the face and you've never once seen blood spilled lmao. Anyway it's actually harder to train to do this without hurting each other than it is to just go in there and wail on the other guy. They have to learn how to throw and tackle without injuries. Pile drive someone wrong and they get paralyzed... That's a lot of trust to put in your fellow performer. The people I don't get are the ones who talk about the outcome like it isn't predetermined... Come on people. It's just for entertainment (not that I enjoy it or watch but whatever.).
I think this pretty much sums it up. It takes skill, but if you take the theatrics and drama seriously and yell at your television you are part of the low class bottom feeders of society.
Gabriel Cooper
>you will never reach Ultimate Warrior mode
I think the biggest reason why Hulk Hogan still lives is that he never took same amounts of steroids as these other freaks.
Logan Green
You really think he didn't?
I think he's still alive because he found a lot more of a career outside of wrestling and didn't fall into a depression like most of these guys do.
Christopher Cook
Yes. He never was as big as many others in the show. This image is from 1985. He absolutely did steroids, but I think he wasn't blasting and cruising like many others.
Of course drugs abuse is a contributing factor, but many of those 80's wrestlers have died due enlarged hearts including both Machoman and Ultimate Warrior.
Dylan Taylor
Forgot to attach the image.
Ian Torres
Yeah it's gotta be the job with one of the shortest life expectancies. It's living like a rock star combined with hurting yourself physically and taking steroids. even the women like Chyna die early.
Ryder Hall
Guess you're right I had this image in my mind of him but it's pretty damn exaggerated. He was never that lean from the looks of it.
Adrian Sanchez
I dont even know what youre trying to say with that gif
Adrian Davis
When you watch so much wrestling that an obvious eye roll is still too subtle.
