Today I want to talk about the most fake “sport” in the whole universe. It is called wrestling. Not the type that goes on in the Olympics, but what today calls World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), formerly the World Wrestling Federation(WWF).
Now, wrestling belongs in the category of something I call, “The Power Rangers Effect.” People get older, they grow up, and eventually, they stop caring/watching/realizing that life is full of bulls**t.
Now back when I was five or six, I was a die hard fan of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I mean, who wasn’t? They were an international phenomenon. Now if you don’t know what the show, “The Power Rangers,” was about, you’ve clearly been living under a rock, under a bigger rock. I’ll sum it down for you: Five people manage to get their hands on watches (or “morphers”) and when evil attacks the world, they activate their morphers. When they activate these morphers, these tight nylon overall clothing comes rippling out of another dimension (+a helmet) and these Power Rangers are dressed within seconds. Power Rangers fight the bad guys, yada yada yada, fight for 10 minutes, gets in their robot, fights for another 5 minutes until they FINALLY DECIDE ON PULLING OUT THE SWORD.
Various types of Morphers. There are a lot more than these.
This sword of theirs has a special attribute: It kills any bad guy in ONE hit (IN EVERY EPISODE). Now, why in the world would they do that? The rangers need to build up suspense (as well as filling in the air time on TV) for the kids until they kill the bad guy in one hit. Power rangers were every boys’ role-model/hero. Of course, we grew up and stopped watching the show.
It’s the same mentality with wrestling.
These a-holes in tights are fighting, but for an older age group; the teens. And if you (still) think that wrestling is real, your mind is stuck in the mentality of the teens (In other words, you are as stupid as you can get).
In wrestling, the matches are all set up, what “moves” to use, when to end the fight-what sign or move would end the fight, EVERYTHING IS SET UP.
Ever notice when one guy hits another guy, he slams his foot down on the [soft] ground surface of the ring? It’s to make loud noises to make it seem like that punch or kick would actually hurt the other guy, when it doesn’t. Of course, these guys aren’t perfect, they’ll make mistakes- and those mistakes will cause injuries. Bleeding in fights isn’t a huge injury! I get nosebleeds from picking my nose all the time (Ewww you pick your nose!!! Sorry ladies, all men pick their nose from time to time. We never seem to grow up in that aspect…).
Just look at this! This as clear and blatent as the sun in the sky.
Anyways, my point is, wrestling is one of the most fake “sports” out there (if not THE most fake). I can’t believe it still has so many adult fans, and I apologize if you are one of those fans; not because I’ve offended you (and if I have, then … good), but because you are as dumb as a tree trunk. And that’s just what one Korean guy thinks, maybe others will think so too.
Completely agree, worst sport ever. Actually you can’t call it a sport, worst circus act ever*. and Power Rangers are still amazing!!
I also agree. When ever I’m flippin’ through channels and wrestlin’ happens to be on I look at the audience. Not to my surprise they’re all white except for maybe one or two blacks :3
Don’t understand why you had to write a 2-page article to prove that wrestling is fake. People KNOW it’s fake. But they enjoy the show and the drama that the professionals practice for weeks to present to the audiance. It’s a form of entertainment. Just like movies and plays. Therefore you don’t need to be an immature child to enjoy WWE/WWF. I am not necessarily defending wrestling because I am not a fan myself. But I just think that some points made by you are disrespectful to the entertainment business and the fans. Take a look at Harry Potter fans for example. They may dress up like wizards and wave their plastic wands while chanting spells. Of course they know magic doesn’t exist. But there’s absolutely nothing wrong with taking one step further to enjoy something you have passion for and forget about how dull reality is for just that moment.
What are you talking about?! MAGIC EXISTS!
The wrestlers and promoters all admit publicly that the matches are pre-determined. Most (all..?) of the magazines and web sites devoted to Pro Wrestling acknowledge this fact. It can still be enjoyed from this perspective. In fact, I think most of what made Wrestling so successful ten years ago was the number of “smart” fans who knew what was going on behind the scenes.
cause the matches are predetermined dont mean its fake these guys still go through more pain than in any other sport and you obviouslly dont know much if i think everything is fake
