    Your Gay. I remember a lad said that to me I said why don't you grab your hurley and go play with yourself in a field.

    Just look for the PW epic fail thread!! Sums it up brilliantly!! :D

    I always ask people who bring up the gay aspect as to why it is they notice the homoerotic aspects of wrestling when most fans don't care, and perhaps it's because they are more inclined to notice soch homoerotic aspects of situations because there's something they aren't admitting to themselves.

    It's still real to me, damnit!

    It is funny how Wrestling HAS evolved into what my father used to say was - "It is all scripted" "They all practice in the ring in afternoon" etc :eek:

    and at least we're guaranteed a decent length main event and not some one minute knock out...

    This argument always annoys me to be honest, even as a super-casual fan of MMA. Yeah, you might get a one minute KO, but the fact it's a real KO means that is often as big a moment than a wrestling match which takes 20 minutes to build up to something. It's like complaining that apples don't taste like oranges when apple eaters know what an apple tastes like; that's why they got an apple!

    "you do know it's fake right?"

    I do love the way people say that as if it should be some big revelation to you that should blow your mind.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,600 ✭✭✭✭CMpunked


    That video got it perfect near the end.

    "Oh man, wrestlings gay and fake and shit. Its just for kids."

    "Hey does Kane still wrestle? He was awesome. So was his brother."

    I wonder if anyone's asked an actor that. Shocking ignorance, but sure what do you expect, the nation's ignorant. Let them live in their televised karaoke bubble, fúck 'em.

    "you do know it's fake right?"

    I think we need more wrestlers like Dr David Shultz or Vader, when they were asked if it was fake on TV, they'd slap the crap outta the reporter!

    Sheiky would slap him, knock him out, bundle him into a car for a hazy five day road trip/coke binge at the end of which they're setting fire to Brian Blair's house.

    Many of my friends have thought they were original in sending me this picture, or tagging it as me on facebook. Its a very funny picture I agree tho

    "you do know it's fake right?"

    I think that one winds me up more than anything else.

    There is a fella I know and he used get so riled up by the fact some of us watched wrestling. In the end we decided he was the one with serious homoerotic issues. He kind of threatened us and went a bit loopy. True story.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd


    The one that always used to get me was "they know how to land"


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,933 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    one I got a good bit down the years was does Hulk Hogan / Flair still wrestle? almost had to chringe while saying yeah


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    Mate: You know wrestling is fake don't ya?

    Me: So are 95% of Pornstars tits, what's your point?


    Mate: Sure that's all scripted, it's not real.

    Me: Remember in Die Hard where John Mc Clane went nuts and shot up a load of terrorists in his bare feet? Class wasn't it?

    Mate: Awh yeah, that was the biz!

    Me: You know that was all scripted don't ya? It wasn't real


    Mate: That's not even real blood they use.

    Me: (Sighing) I know..... It's sachets of motherf*ckin' Heinz.

    I bet all of these "reasons" to denigrate wrestling actually stems from themselves actually believing wrestling was real when they were younger, and now kick themselves over it. It's like the entertainment equivalent of Santa Claus.

    A bit like running up to that girl in school, and pulling her hair, when they really fancy that girl!

    I personally like feigning surprise when Im advised it's fake. "what, what do you mean fake?"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,997 ✭✭✭Shapey Fiend


    A lot of idiots adore making stupid generalisations about things they know nothing about. I just try to avoid talking to these people as much as possible because they'd do your head in.

    Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up......what's Santa got to do with this??

    Austin "wait, are you Santa? Or are you just a bit fat piece of trash?!"

    The one that annoys me....

    'thats mock!'

    In fairness though, when im in work and someone says that, a few closet fans will jump out on my side with...

    'is he still around? Used to love him when I was a chap.'
