Muirshin Durkin

Not me anyway, i'm not 8 anymore.

PizzamanIRL

If I wanted to see a load of men falling to the ground as if they got hurt after being hardly touched, I would watch soccer.

Even as an 8 year old I watched with raised eyebrows

Pretending to be The Rock, eh?

The Backwards Man

€25 euro to watch grown men dancing around in their underpants pretending to be all hardman?

I get that in the mirror for free.

Unearthly

It doesn't matter if we are watching it

wazky

Course I am, got my bedtime extended and all for it.

MadYaker

Unfortunately I'm not 6 years old anymore. Grown men prancing about the place in leotards and sh!te talking to each other, I never understood how grown men could find it interesting, its so... lame.

In fairness it used to be entertaining back when stone cold and the rock were in it and allowed to say explicit things.
They can't even curse in it anymore.
Think it was about 2003 when I stopped proper watching it.

Ruu

will Videoplus+ it.

Mint Sauce

Last time I watched it, The Hulkster came out of retirement to beat the Sumo fella, just after he had beaten Bret The Hitman Hart.

Wrestlemania 13 I think.

Think that was 9 actuallly, about the last time I watched it too. Looking back at some of the characters back then, it really is shocking how many of them die young.

wretcheddomain

I don't quite get the references to the fakeness or otherwise of WWE; after all, it's called sports entertainment and is more akin to a drama series, so why don't these same folks say the likes of "Nah, Eastenders? Sure that's fake! If I want real drama, I'd beat my own wife!".

BillyMitchel

Yep add me to that list too.

I'm a grown man and ill be watching it with loads of other grown ups. Some have even taken tomorrow off as a holiday. It's also a 8+ hour drinking session.

Agree though it can be lame but its entertainment. We know its not actually real. What will be real is Brock Lesner f5ing the undertaker through his coffin and that's the bottom line coz BillyMitchel said so.

Pre-pubescent boys, and post-pubescent grown-up boys who really should know better.

I suppose it keeps them away from 'gaming' for a few hours....

Moneymaker

Ah yes, the usual ignorant, condescending bull**** when you tell people you're a wrestling fan.

Movies are fictional, TV shows are fictional, video games etc.

Does it stop people from enjoying them?

Wrestling might be silly, fake etc etc, doesn't stop me from enjoying it.

Nope. I'm 27 with a full time job and a missus. Normal guy, like everyone else.

Exactly, oh look at us, we're such dopes for enjoying something.

edit: anyone watching, join us on the PW forum.

Artful_Badger

Is it on at stupid o'clock in the morning ?

AllGunsBlazing

Used to watch this religiously back in the late 80's as a lad.

But I think McMahon has long since ruined it as a spectacle. They seem to have a major event every six weeks now. Back then it was three or four a year and you made a point of marking each in the calendar.

Just the waiting was enough to drive you up the wall with excitement.

Call Me Jimmy

I don't judge anyone too harshly :P for watching it but I definitely do not understand the appeal to an adult. If we talk about it as a form of drama, then we have to say that the acting is the worst you will find anywhere. Drama should draw you in, but I couldn't be drawn in by a guy saying in an interview 'I'm gonna give him a truckload of PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYNNNNNNNEEEEEEE' and then flexing all his muscles (including the ones at the sides of the neck) and gritting his teeth.

Maybe people watch it as a farce?

DildoFaggins

Well what ye expect from AH its just a bunch of clowns trying to get likes and a thread like this is an easy target.

fleet_admiral

Id watch it if earthquake, jake the snake roberts and the ultimate warrior were there. And macho man randy savage

John Cherry

I will be.

It doesn't matter what draws people in really. Tonnes of people enjoy wrestling for what it is. You wouldn't make fun of someone for watching Breaking Bad or Game Of Thrones because at the end of the day, its fiction.

I have no problem with something not liking wrestling because everyone likes different things, but its the people that look down on us which is annoying. DUR YOURE A CHILD YOU LIKE MEN FAKE FIGHTING, yes I do, and I ****ing love it.

Well Jake and Warrior were at the HoF ceremony last night.. and the others are dead.. close enough?

Well two of them, Earthquake and Randy Savage, are dead. The other two, Jake and The Warrior, were inducted into the Hall Of Fame last night and will most likely make some sort of appearance on the show tonight.

Come to think of it I did drift back into it briefly about 15 years ago. Round the time when Steve Austin and Mick Foley were in it.

That Foley lad was a proper lunatic. The things he was prepared to do to himself to get the crowd off their seats!

29, married, 2 kids and full time job. Fairly normal, I think.

Would you call anyone who watches the walking dead, game of thrones, braking bad or most other tv series that for liking something fake, because it's all fake.

I didn't call anyone a child?!

I would make fun of people who watch Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones the same way I make fun of everything. Neck muscle spasms aside, are you saying interviews of that tone are not present in this show?

I was actually genuinely interested in what exactly the type of things people enjoy about wrestling. You know if you asked someone why they liked a film or anything really, they would tell you what they liked about it.

Wrestlemania is a load of bollox.

crockholm

It's still real to me,dammit!

Diabhal Beag

You wrestling fans should grow up and start giving out about the government or dole cheats.

Wrestling is real...people are fake !
