Wrestling Vs Snooker /Darts/F1

Kali

Its a pure entertainment sport, nothing more.

Sport is a much too general term as we have already said time and time again.

Theres a big difference between team, technical, precision ,extreme and entertainment sports each have their own required skills.

sport isnt just about fitness it is also about skill. and i agree that they are fit and all but i would say that a F1 driver would be even fitter. You try driving a car in the searing malaysian heat in a fireproof suit while all the time keeping your concentration level to the maximum? dont call F1 a non sport.

Fair enough its not a dictatorship here, yet

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">
The main argument about wrestling is,wrestling is not "real"
</font>

NO the real sport of wrestling is real, its in the Olympics the ultimate place for a real
athlete to demonstrate his skills in a fair and even competition with rules. WWF
which you seem to think is "Wrestling" is a joke in comparison.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">First off to be a top professional wrestler you need to be fit !You need to
be an Athlete.You need to be able to take bangs on the head,to be slamed on your
back,run around for half an hour,and still be able to get up the next day.
</font>

So do Film Stuntmen which the so called stars of WWF have more in common with
as they work to scripts. Anyway in real life if half those blows etc. were real they
would be fuked up for real. What they are encouraging is actually more serious, they
are showing their audience that violently attacking and hitting people with chairs etc.
is right and that no major damage is really done to the person attacked. If I
remember correctly an 11yr old boy has been imprisoned for life in Florida for acting
out his "heroes" moves from "one of the so-called sports entertainment Wrestling"
programs on a 6 yr. old girl resulting in her death.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">You know what is like when you fall out of bed or off a couch and how it
hurts.Or when you decide to do a sport and suffer the next day with aches in your
muscles.</font>

And your point !!! They have feelings awww that's nice.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Wrestling may be fixed.1 wrestler is told he has to loose and this is how
you loose,but that is the only part that is fixed,the rest is sport.</font>

Wrong that's not sport. My definition of Sport is a competition to find the best by fair
and proper means. What your talking about there is acting to a script like a bad soap
opera. As acting it should appear in maybe the Films/TV board, sorry it looks like I
dropped that last thread in the wrong board.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">
Its very Easy for ppl who dont watch wrestling to dismiss it as a non sport
activity,when infact it has more sport then Snooker Darts F1 Golf even football.
</font>

Can you clarify this point. These are all sports even Darts (which I choke at saying)
because they are not fixed and involve people playing to rules to be the best.
Basically they are not some Yokel Yank Soap Opera.

My answer to that would be More Boxers have been killed with punches to the head.Is that a sport or is that brutality.It has rules alright but sombody should not take punches to the head . F1 how many poeple have been killed speeding.I know loads of people who are bif F1 fans.All of which are nutorious for speeding .If Prowrestling encourages violence ,F1 encourages speeding and CounterStrike encourages shootouts :P

Sombody mentioned that Sport is competition that is why F1 is a sport.Well Pro wrestling has alot more competition then you think.OK the wrestling match itself is prearranged,but the competition is on how well you do your job within the ring.The better you do will cause you to have more matches which brings in more money.The competition is looking the best you can look wrestling the best you can wrestle and talking the best you can talk in front of the camera.If you can do all this you will be on a contract worth millions and probably making movies in hollywood. When it comes down to it you are looking at the wrestling match itself and not the big picture.The big picture is the competition is not direct competition but it is still competition .Lets just say there is more competition in prowrestling then there is in the premiership at the moment,Football may be real but we all know at the end of the season Man U will win !
