We have all had our say and the results are this;
1. Wrestling is not real. (Sorry, Easty)
2. Wrestlers do sometimes get hurt, as pointed out by Grendel, but only by accident.
3. Wrestling is a major ratings winner.
4. Some people like wrestling & some don't.
5. It can be entertaining at times.
6. In their own way, wrestlers are athletes.
7. Anyone who thinks it's real has a serious problem.

Can we move on now ?

Ratings have nothing to do with it. Ratings don't determine whether something is a quality product or not. If you put live death row executions on television, I reckon morbid curiosity would rate it through the roof. Would you consider that a quality item? How about all of the reality T.V type shows rating right now? It caters to an audience and the audience will watch things for many reasons. Intellectual stimulation, entertainment, a stress outlet, to sate violent tendencies, titallation, to learn how to pull off the perfect crime or be the best axe murderer they can be!!! Some may rate and others may not but this never ever determines the quality of the product.

Define fake. I am a pro wrestler, my injury count is one broken sternum, 4 broken ribs, one sprained ankle, three concussions and a bruised kidney, and thats not counting the little scrapes I didnt bother getting checked out. Thats in less than eighteen months. I recently clobbered a close personal friend over the head with a steel chair ( it was necessary) and there was nothing fake about it. You people may be confused by the American TV you see, we Aussies do it hard.
Wrestlers are athletes. If its sooo invalid and fake, try throwing yourself on the ground right now, then "pretend" it hurts and get up and do it several more times. Do this for a minimum of nine hours a week.Then come back and tell me what you "know" about wrestling.

We now have a bloody pro wrestler (iniquity). With all those injuries, he obviously isn't a good one

Tigerland is not made up. Only real supporters have been there and know how to get there.
 
I think he's the third one to respond to this subject. Do they all surf footy boards, or is Easty out dragging them in off the street ?

maybe its because most people (unlike you) like a range of things, you must be one of those nerdy types that arent into different things, most young people are in to wrestling, get a life nerd

We're all nerds, eastaugh, we're on the computer!

Regards the argument. The main bees in Eastaugh's bonnet are regards the bumps being real and the ratings.

I've mentioned my feelings about these in another thread, well, here we go :

Maybe some bumps are real, but generally it looks like one bloke punching the mat beside another bloke's head, with a camera angle to suggest contact being made. There's also connects that seem to slow on the point of contact, becoming little more than a slap.

Ratings : Is it a high rater? I didn't realise this. Have any commercial networks sought it out? Someone made a decent comment about ratings. Jerry Springer and Neighbours rate highly (I would gather), but are they good quality? Nope. They are entertainment for a targeted audience.

Did you know that the biggest movie-watching fraternity is the 11-14 male range, and because of this, many movies are previewed by a selection of this set for opinions. Hence there are a hell of a lot of films out there, probably the majority that suit that fraternity, and mean nothing much in particular to the rest of us. Can you see your average 14yr old aussie bloke enjoying a Paul Cox or John Sayles film? Unlikely. Hence no matter how popular something is, it might be exactly the wrong sort of entertainment for the majority of people.

BUT it can be quite a lot of fun to watch when I come across. And why whinge, there's TV all over the place for people to watch, different things suit different sorts.
 
the reason being that foxtel have the rights and wont let go of them as it always rates so highly

no but I guess they dont want to let go of them and foxtel will only get bigger and watched by more as the years continue
