Wrestling
 
Why are there so many wrestling fans here? I don't see the connection between Turtles and professional wrestling that would make so many fans like both? Just wandering.

Personally I don't really get it or like it.

Stone Ill 02-10-2004 06:27 PM

I don't care for that crap.

Raven 02-10-2004 06:40 PM

ya I like wrestaling, some times its just stupid, but I enjoy watching it.

Savanti Romero 02-10-2004 06:42 PM

Can I ask why?

Dane E5R 02-10-2004 06:43 PM

I don't much care for it anymore, but I will always respect those men and women for what they go through for our entertainment.

Savanti Romero 02-10-2004 06:45 PM

I thought most of it was fake.

Bowser_Koopa 02-10-2004 06:47 PM

i heard it even had script

malignant 02-10-2004 06:48 PM

I like wrestling.....Not so much now since it's going downhill thanks to the WWE....but it still appeals to me...

why?..cause it's entertaining. Don't judge other peoples tastes...

edit- um..you can't fake the moves they do. I dare someone to try what they do sometime...=]

Skits, promos...the ending of matches..yes...fake. Who the hell doesnt know that by now?

Raven 02-10-2004 06:49 PM

of course wrestaling is fake, the camera always seems to be in the right spot just as somthing big is about to happen

host_punktmy 02-10-2004 06:50 PM

On the last smackdown they had some really obvious missed punches

Raven 02-10-2004 06:51 PM

they do that alot on raw to

Reznorite420 02-10-2004 07:10 PM

There was a period of less than a year where I watched WWF thanks to a friend who hooked me onto it. Later after I saw many flies it attracted, I gave it a cold shoulder and never watched it since. I will say that my early days of wrestling watching were pretty damn wonderful, though.

Taloniss 02-10-2004 07:25 PM

I like wrestling, but WWE has gone to hell since 2001. I stick to japan stuff mostly now, and the occasional WWE show, if I think it has any chance of being good.

host_punktmy 02-10-2004 07:27 PM

Only from mid 99 on. Before that, they were ok, and in the early years, they had some good-great wrestling.

host_punktmy 02-10-2004 07:37 PM

i just liked sting

Raven 02-10-2004 07:38 PM

ya sting was cool, he reminded me of the crow

Reznorite420 02-10-2004 07:38 PM

The thing I don't get is why Ted Turner had to start a fed for himself? He was already making billions with his already-existing networks.

host_punktmy 02-10-2004 07:39 PM

who knows

He thought it would make more money? Rich people always want more.

He and Vince had a rivalry, Turner attempted to take the Mcmahon family out of business, unfourtunatly, he allowed the company to go to hell

host_punktmy 02-10-2004 07:40 PM

bill gates for instance. Windows is inferrior

Taloniss 02-10-2004 07:41 PM

Oh, and I don't think he started it. I think he bought the territory, split it off of the NWA after some business between them got messed up, and that's when it took off somewhat. I'm not positive on that, but I think that's what happened.

ZariusTwo 02-10-2004 07:43 PM

Ted Turner bought WCW from the Crocketts, and Turner then seperated WCW from the NWA.

The Clerk 02-10-2004 09:04 PM

I like wrestling... not so much as before, WWF in like, 98 was awesome. The whole Aliance vs. WWF thing was cool, just what happened after when WWF won kinda sucked, 'cause no one was fired who was on the Aliance. RAW is a good program, SmackDown is alright... RAW, in my opinion, has the overall better roster. Sure, Angle is a good wrestler, but he's a much better heel than face, especially if he's with Vinnie Mac ( :lol: , him with a small cowboy hat and a guitar was priceless). I always liked the Hardy Boyz and X-Treme. But when the draft hapened and Bradshaw turned the Harcore title to a "Texas Hardcore" Title, i kinda didn't care much for those matches anymore... And the WWF got a lot of new people at once, well, a lot of new people went on tv at the same time. bringing the nWo back was awesome, until Hogan went good after the Rock and they basically killed the nWo.... it was better in the past...

Errrm..on the contrary the "new guys" are better than 90% of the crappy RAW roster, and SMACKDOWN is the better show.

People like Randy Orton, Brock Lesner, and John Cena are the future of this business

Triple H is holding everyone down by banging Stephenie Mcmahon, but Chris Benoit (one of the greatest wrestlers ever) will face him at Wrestlemania 20 with Shawn Michales..this way Hunter does'nt have to do the job.

The Clerk 02-10-2004 09:22 PM

Brock is alright, he's better as a heel, tho. I do like Cena, but i don't think he's ready for the world title yet. I don't like the "world's greatest tag team", i still think Team X-Treme was awesome and that Matt Hardy is underrated. Too Cool was a good stable at first, but then they just faded away....

But a quick question, in the WcW stable, 3 count (the boy band thing) were two of the members Hurricane and Shannon Moore?

malignant 02-10-2004 09:28 PM

You guys wanna see actual Good wrestling matches..

Watch NWA-TNA.

Although..they're starting to go the way of WCW did and hire old people..heh. But they have a national television deal beginning some time this year....and they will give WWE competition finally.

Iron Bison 02-10-2004 09:44 PM

Wrestling is a soap for guys and some girls, and just like a regular soap on daytime tv, they have a script and actors, but WWE has actors who are athletic and also use violence with their stories, stories that entertain.

SMACKDOWN DOES have quality wrestling matches, Angle and Benoit OWN Jarret and Styles, even if both are great tlaent themselves

Even though there the greatest Tag Team in the company and pull off quality matches?

GK Punk 02-10-2004 10:25 PM

I've always said, the one thing worse than a wrestling fan is a non wrestling fan. Why? Because Non wrestling fans will sit around telling you how stupid you are for watching wrestling, acting like you don't know it's fixed.

Obviously, it's fixed, it's just like any other TV show. Yes, these guys do get hurt you jump off of a ladder 20 feet above the ring with out getting hurt. You can fix the end of a match, but you can't fake gravity.

I don't understand why you worry about why other people may like something you don't.

You know, with that statement, you're making it sound like it's a crime to not be wrestling fan...

Well like I said, Non-Fans will bash Fans and act like we don't know it's Fixed. They tend to insult us constantly

That Matt Guy 02-11-2004 02:28 AM

I liked it when there was more than one company dominating the genre. :roll:

Reznorite420 02-11-2004 10:16 AM

Well, don't get me wrong; like I said, the brief period where I did watch wrestling was actually one of the most fun times in my life. The only real reason I stopped watching it was because I'd moved to a new school district and didn't get cable for over a year...that and the school I went to was a bit high class, and I was, shall we say, assimilated into their culture.

That's not to say I hate it altogether, I just don't find that much interest in it anymore.

WrestlingTurtlesFan4Life 02-11-2004 10:26 AM

Oh crap, now you guys have done it. Expect me to post something about this, Saturday morning........Expect it to be Sean........YOU'VE ALL DONE IT NOW!!

Mwahahahahahahahahahahaaaa!!

I'm going over his house now. I'll be back by midnight my time. Teehee.

SlayerX 02-11-2004 01:14 PM

WWE RAW & Popcorn every Monday Night
WWE Smackdown! most Thursday nights
The PPV feed sites every PPV time
TMNT every Saturday morning
Simpsons ~ 10 hours of the week
King of the hill ~ 5 hours
Family guy 2 1/2 hours a week
NHL every time wrestling or TMNT isn't on

First ever wrestling thing I saw was when we first moved to Alberta, and had to live in a hotel for 4 days, I turned on the TV just as HHH Pedigreed Mick Foley onto the thumbtacks at Royal Rumble 2001 (I think...) ever since then i've liked it.

Sure, I know its fake, everything is scripted, etc, but its not HOW it happens, it's WHAT happens.

Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Y2J Chris Jericho, Taker, Kane, Angle, Triple H, etc. are all awesome!

People constantly tell me "oh wrestling is fake boo hoo hoo!" so I just ignore them, or tell them to get lost... ok now I forget what I was going to talk about so im just going to leave now :goofygri:
