norton Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Used to watch wrestling when I was a kid. Dick the Bruiser, the Shire Brothers, Cowboy Bob Ellis. Got over it when I was about 12. But hey, if you enjoy the fantasy of pro wrestling go for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After years of each and every pro wrestler claiming to be the ultimate physical fighter, you begin to believe that none of them are. They are big and strong, most assuredly, but none are what they claim to be. It's why it's called a "show". MY father used to watch pro wrestling in the early 50's on TV, and in Illinois on relatives TV, and exclaim, "It's all fake!", quickly followed by, " KILL 'EM!"

Maser Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Pro wresting may be staged, but it certainly isn't fake. If it was fake then there wouldn't be so many injuries. The fact that so many wrestlers have ODed on pain killers is proof they've had to deal with permanent body pain that none of us will ever have to deal with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard them say that injuries occur when the act goes awry. The injuries I believe, are those from actual wrestling to win. I have seen in the local and regional beginnings of pro wrestling, where they don't choreograph and practice before the match. major body pain comes from doing stunts that are more bizarre than the other guy's and they again, go awry. The injuries are truly real. Edited January 9, 2020 by janice6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the American way! Yesterday, while changing channels, I saw a pro match where some guy had dragged an extension ladder into the ring and had it propped up against a corner post. Apparently, no folding chairs were available. Edited January 9, 2020 by janice6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Not meaning to toot my millennial horn too much here, but I feel my generation of wrestling fans got to enjoy the best that pro wrestling had to offer. We had the "Attitude Era" in WWF and of course who can forget ECW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maser Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 It's funny that if you do a search on the world's richest athlete, Vince McMahon shows up at #1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
