This guy gets the sh*t kicked out of him for not going along with the script and acting like he's hurt after every move 
He just bounces right back up after every move and legit ticks off his opponents

A video from 1989 sure holds water on Today, 2020.

Anyone who is older than 16, or younger than 60, who is into professional wrestling really needs to leave the house a little more. Breathe some fresh air, maybe talk to a pretty girl, who knows, read a book or something......

Breathe some fresh air, maybe talk to a pretty girl, who knows, read a book or something...... Without rehashing all the superhero movies V horror movies arguments, my opinion is that anyone can like anything that they want, and it doesn't bother me at all. Some people would say watching football is a waste of time. Some could say following politics is a waste of time. I don't feel it is up to anyone to decide what is the best use of someone else's free time.

I just want to post this gif of indy wrestler Sexxxy Eddy from his match at Tournament of Death III. A true badass.  |

Their chances of premature death are very real.

I don't feel it is up to anyone to decide what is the best use of someone else's free time. Yes and no. Obviously there is nothing wrong with enjoying pro wrestling or superhero films on a very basic level. Of course anyone should be able to enjoy anything they want without judgment, no doubt. However, life is all about maturation and growth as a human being. Perhaps things that are enjoyed as a child or young adult should be left behind as we grow into adults. Especially things that aren't even real. Otherwise, you're just watching the same movie over and over again. |

Baseball card collecting. Model train and railroad sets. Arts and crafts. Cosplay. If I saw a 20 year old quilting, I wouldn't tell them that they are too young to do that. I don't think anyone can ever be "too old" to do something they enjoy.

I've never been a fan of the phrase "wrestling is fake". Its scripted but not fake per say. Id like to see someone who says its fake get in the ring with certain guys as that tune would change. Ric Flair delivering chops aren't fake. Falling off a ladder isn't fake. Getting hit with a chair or kendo stick isn't fake. The truth is its mostly acrobatic theater being performed by stunt men/women. Saying its fake is really just being lazy. Things might be scripted or gimmicked but in the general sense of the word I dont think fake is the right word. Scripted is the better term just like a movie or a play. Just like how stunt men/women are performing dangerous stunts they're not considered fake. They may be gimmicked to best protect the performancers but they're not fake and most likely they're still gonna hurt like a bitch.

I believe as long as what anybody enjoys isn't illegal or harming anybody by all means enjoy it. Life is too short to feel embarrassed liking something by judgmental people. You a 40 year old man that likes My Little Pony? Not my thing but you do you brother. Want to like comic books and super hero movies? Right on. Anime? Thumbs up. Cosplay? Rock on. Im in my 30's and I still enjoy some of the Pokémon video games. If people want to think thats lame thats on them. Meanwhile I'm over here happy as a clam leveling up my Charizard. Life can fucking suck, so enjoy what you wanna enjoy. |

I think smurfbate had the best answer for wrestling specifically while onethreetwo had the best general answer.

Wrestling is stunt men & women doing soap operas. The physicality is real, the competition is not. Sport without competition is not sport.

The shit surrounding the matches is fake as fuck and a lot of the violence is as well. But guys do get hit and bleed and can get hurt. It may not be a real sport, but it’s definitely not completely fake athletic entertainment.
