Professional Wrestling

Post Reply New Topic

I know some people think its a juvenile interest but I like wrestling. I was wondering if there was any wrestlers with AS who wanted to talk about how it is wrestling with AS or just some other people who enjoy wrestling as much as I do

I liked watching the WWF(now WWE). My father still watches professional wrestling.

yea I've been recently watching TNA myself. I got tired of the over the top storylines in WWE I guess I like to disillusion myself into thinking its more then a soap oprea and the x division stars in TNA are so physically gifted.

The competitive aspect is fake. We know that they decide who is going to win and who is going to lose. But the strength and skill required perform these matches (i.e lift a 250 pound guy over your head and slam him down or to execute one of those flying acrobatic jumps off a turnbuckle) is very real. So are they superb athletes like baseball or football players? You bet they are.

i love wrestling. there is a mixture of strength, theatre, martial arts and probably clowning. my ex-housemate used to wrestle and also set up (very am) wrestling matches at our house. hehe those were some very entertaining days tho!

yes but somehow I like to disillusion myself I hate finishers that take too long. I like high flying spots although I know they are initated by both wrestlers. Thats why I like the indys so much and ring of honor. I know most matches are staged but its so unique and fun to watch something like the canadian destroyer and believe its an acutal competition. Too bad because of what wrestling moves can do to the body it'll never happen.

I've been watching pro wrestling since I was a little kid, truthfully though I am sick of all the back stage politics and hollywood script writers who know not a thing about pro wrestling, this cancer that has invaded pro wrestling mainstream. Theyr wrecking pro wrestling's credibility. I mean watch a WWE show, hell a ppv, they've got entire segments wasted on "diva dodge ball" and stupid crap like that

ROH (Ring Of Honor), that is where it's at today, it's like today's ECW revolution, a slight bit too big to be called an indie but not yet big enough to be a mainstream company. So I'd call them a super indie. Match quality is better, it doesn't insult your intelligence like WWE/TNA, better storylines, it's all around a superior product to anything in wrestling mainstream.

I used to LOVE the WWF as a kid. I was obsessed with Hulk Hogan, the Undertaker, and then I was pretty into it during the Stone Cold/The Rock era. It definitely jumped the shark, though. I still turn it on sometimes when I'm stoned just for a laugh, but now it just strikes me as very goofy. It certainly provided me many years of entertainment, though

I love wrestling! But my bro is more obsessed lol I have been watching since the early 90's I also like Hogan:) But I loved Stone Cold he was my Fav. I have recently started watching TNA I like it! My favorite wrestlers on there are Awesome Kong and Samoa Joe.

If you wanna see good pro wrestling, with actual storylines that don't suck, great wrestlers, check out ROH. It's not on tv, you'll have to order it on dvd's. It's the biggest indie currently in the US. It easily beats WWE and TNA hands down, for sure.

I started watching wrestling last year and liked it, but the stories are really weird and nonsensical, and some times I can't watch due to this (so far I only know WWE, but I heard TNA is even worse in that aspect), so I'll give ROH a try

Yeah, you'll like ROH much better, it's wrestling for wrestling fans. WWE and TNA are wrestling for fair-weather fans, it's more corporatism than wrestling really, and it looks like some Mtv crap. ROH is wrestling where the fans opinions matter, no back stage politics, no hollywood script writers from off the scenes of 90210 or Melrose Place, but writers who actually understand pro wrestling.

Wrestling is a mixed bag at times for me when it comes to watching. Right now the WWE isn't my thing unlike let's say the early 2000s.

Problem here is that the west coast doesn't get much wrestling shows other than the WWE nowadays. ROH is back east, TNA is in Nashville I think.

i used to love watching wrestling mainly from 2000 when the WWF/E was good, but to me the WWE has just lost the plot and dont even get me started on ECWWE

I like Rey Mysterio.

I was a big fan of wrestling - got into it in the mid-late 90s when it was megapopular. But I only liked WCW, never the WWF, and so now that WCW's gone, I don't watch too much. Mainly I browse youtube and a certain forum and download matches.

My current favorite promotions are CHIKARA (US based independent fed, kid friendly, heavy focus on the high risk fast paced style) and Dragon Gate (Japan based fed, formerly affiliated with Ultimo Dragon and most of the roster was trained by him).
