    Never in a million years. My bf used to be big into it a few years ago but thankfully he gave up on it long before we met!

    Yeah I agree... I'm sure I could do something more fun than stick pins in my eyes though :p

    Just don't get the appeal, kind of like boxing. I'm not so sure I understand why people do it. I understand things like football, rugby, tennis etc where there's a ball involved & you go after that but wrestling.. letting yourself get thrown around and hurt etc.. i dunno!!

    I'll stick to my good old reliable gymnastics any day!

    Shaneu... OMG!! ewwwww!!!! Cant say i'm drawn to his fake tan, shaved legs, smarmy face and little...speedos!! hehehe!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 235 ✭✭lizann


    yes i watch them i think they are fun


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,875 ✭✭✭Seraphina


    not usually, but a guy i'm kinda seeing is into it, so i've watched it occasionally.

    i think its totally ****, and i much prefer UFC or the like, but tbh, the few times i've watched it, its been so bad i've actually been in stitches, the awful story lines, the even worse faking punches etc. its actually quite amusing if you leave your intelligence at the door

    (i was drunk and/or stoned when watching it, hence the reason i found it funny i think...)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,503 ✭✭✭✭jellie


    whoever that man is, hes disgusting. ugh.

    When I was a kid I loved watching the WWF with my bro, the Bushwhackers (that name now seems a bit gross :eek: ) were my favourite and I used to walk around the sitting room doing their walk :D My nephew is now into it and I'd watch it the odd time with him. Can't say I'm a fan, just love how excited he gets and how freaky it is that he knows all their names, he's only 6!

    I used to really love it when I was little....Johhny B badd was my favorite.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,788 ✭✭✭ztoical


    not so much in the last 8 months as I've notv but have been a hardcore wwe fan - I was four rows from the ring at the royal rumble a couple of years ago. Major crush on Matt Hardy for a while but he's turned into a bit of dick recently.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 121 ✭✭Lurvely


    I used to watch it up till bout 5 years ago & i loved it at the time, i stick it on from time to time just to see whats happening now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,031 ✭✭✭Lockstep


    I know a girl who's mad into it. Started her own club and all.


    Mmm, wrestling women.

    Sexy.

    Does his willy look small cos he is so buff or is it just small? :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    lol it looks tiny :D

    I wouldn't or couldn't bring myself to watch disgustingly muscley tanned men fake fighting with each other...along with the dodgy action that goes along with it too. It just seems a bit too mindless for my liking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,875 ✭✭✭Seraphina


    mindless can be fun sometimes! :p

    Not a drug in the world that will really do that, just so you know.

    Just like the ones that "make them bigger." :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,490 ✭✭✭✭citytillidie


    I thought Steriods make it smaller

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,745 ✭✭✭doonothing


    My sister loves it. It's basically just a soap opera with greased-up body builders at this stage. Wrestling women are hoooorrrrible!
    Only one semi-attractive one ever, and she was only attractive in comparison to the manbeasts she was with!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 157 ✭✭Babette08


    Do guys above 11 watch it?? The odd time when flicking you stumble upon it - unintentionally hilarious - laugh your head off for a few minutes and move on. That guy you posted is yuch...grease monkey like the rest of them :rolleyes:

    Nope.

    This is what happens when you spend too much time putting "jokes" into the "fact" pile.

    It's the easy insult for those of us who are large through gym efforts. "Bet his cock is tiny from all the steroids!" Eh, sure it is!

    If anyone is doing steroids it would have a negative impact on natural testosterone production and may result in temportary hygodonadism or possible permanent is not treated correctly.

    Don't do them myself but it is a very interesting field of study.

    As for the topic at hand, an ex of mine used to be mad into Wrestling and such and even went to a show with me when i was still into it as well.

    As for Wrestling, it's the male equivelent of the Pussy Cat Dolls. Don't let it upset you!

    There is a cult following to wrestling among adults, like pretty much everything else.

    There's a certain art to wrestling well- a "light" worker is preferable to a "stiff" (meaning someone who looks like they're thumping the other guy, but isn't hurting them at all) and a good "seller" is extremely valuable (someone who is good at acting hurt, throwing themselfes around the ring when on defence.)

    Really good wrestlers will generate "heat" (a crowd response- positive for faces, like cheers, and negative for the heels, or bad guys).

    But even the most ardent wrestling fan turns the brain off at the door and takes WWE for what it is- car crash telly, just like Jerry Springer.

    Personally I gave up on wrestling when Chris Benoit killed his family. I was already at odds with enjoying it because I had read about how scummy a business it was. Chris's suicide finished me off (this was a man I had cheered for live one point.)

    I am not upset, I watch it sometimes but was put off it last year when on of the guys snapped and killed his wife and kid before killing himself.

    They were saying it was all the drugs he was on that made him snap.

    Once again it is important to differentiate from the "facts" versus "rumour pile."

    Sure, Chris snapped and killed his family, and sure, he was on steroids. The facts that were not put out there were that the steroids he was on was obtained legally from his doctor ( remember, steroids are a medicine that is often given to people in need of them and yet these people don't SNAP! ).

    There appears to be have been a pretty big history of depression with him, and other marital problems between him and his wife. Add in work issues as well and it's funny that it was the drugs that made him do it.

    Sadly enough people kill their familes all the time without the aid of steroids. Most of the time it's because they feel they can all be in a better place together. Chris left a bible with both is wife and his son.

    How come nobody blames religious ideoligies when such things occur?

    It happened in America. You can't blame guns or religion for anything there. The Trenchcoat Mafia? Marilyn Mansons fault. But thats OT.

    Yea very true i am only going on hear say as the facts were never released and it was a very sad situation.

    It could have been other factors as you say but the media only picked up on the drug issue as it was easy for them to blame them.

    Funny how we somtimes think people like Chris Benoit are on top of the world then he ends his and his familys life like that.Doesn't make sense at times .
