WWF Wrestling... FAKE?
 

How can it be 'Fake'?

OK the outcome may well be decided beforehand, and they may well rehearse the matches...

BUT, when a guy gets thrown from the top rope, and lands on his back with a 500lb guy on his chest... Thats REAL... and its GOTTA hurt?

So why do people say fake?

Because when they punch each other they usually stop about 2 inches from contact.

= Fake ;-)

The kicking and punching is faked. So that's where that all comes from, I'm sure.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

OK, I'll give you that.

That parts fake...

As real as Nessa Devil her titties

World Wildlife Foundation?
Or, do you mean WWE?
;-)

Hahaha! :1orglaugh

Rehearsed would be a better word. Nessa Devil's tits are REHEARS.... Uh, wait...no, her tits are fake. Sorry. WRESTLING is rehearsed. A lot of the moves, floor impacts, slaps etc are real per se, but since the recipient knows it's coming it can be prepared for.... so it's labeled by most people as "fake".

Btw, never say "is it fake?" or "It's all fake" to a WWF wrestler's face. They get pretty peeved about it.

WWF can't be fake because you can bet on matches in america, or you dont? :D

Why is she fake? Those are natural god given titties if EVER I saw a pair?

That's what I said ;)))

It's a fake sport played by actors that really do get physically roughed-up.

yeah, its fake, but who cares?
it's like bitching about scarface.
"Al pacino didn't really shoot all those people. just stuntmen and bloodpacks and shit. it's all fake. fuck that shit"

yeah pretty much ... Avatar was fake so was Tron Legacy .. still good movies though :thumbsup:thumbsup

No they don't stop 2 inches from contact! LOL! I wrestled for years in the Southeast in Independent feds. Trust me....you are getting hit. No, not like a straight to the mouth punch (that would bust your teeth out), but if I hit you with a "gimmick punch" it hurts like hell...it's just not full on contact. More of a glancing blow. But it hurts.

Pro wrestling is an art form. A "dance". But it does hurt like hell. And the things that hurt the worst are the things that don't look like they would hurt...like running the ropes.

I'd rather take a big power bomb (which is just a back bump to the mat...once you learn to take it it's nothing, if you don't know how to take it it will knock your breath out of you) than to run the damn ropes! lol

Yes those are obviously 100% natural tits. Matter of fact she's probably shooting a scene for "Big Naturals" right now! :1orglaugh

as real as their roided muscles hehe

Dunno mate... Those fucking Pandas do sure pack a punch!!! :thumbsup

What? So guys taking testosterone and working out hard don't have "real muscles"?

Why don't you try taking "roids" and don't work out or eat the right diet and see how many "fake" muscles you get.

Everybody knew it was fake!

I wonder if any members would buy it! :1orglaugh

uhh actually the winners are not decided beforehand, neither are the story lines scripted!

it is the one true thing left in the USA that is not fake, they also often show outside footage of how the situations have developed for the viewers to follow.

It happens that the fighters have feuds and disagreements so it is obvious that they are not all best friends!

If they are lucky to capture footage of one guy dissing another or one of his closer fighter friends or course there is gonna be drama.

Also the things that happen in that industry are real because how can you script a fight or disagreement? Compared to boxing or MMA it is much more transparent so we can all see the real motives.

WWF = Days of our lives, but everyone is in spandex.

You mean WWE... the outcome is fake yes but they are serious athletes.

yepp, its fake, sometimes they fight really , and it hurts ..and thats why they do rehearsals and practice..

Does she have a valve in the back of her neck?

A friend of mine wrestles for them sometimes on a developmental contract and I've been backstage a few times on WWE matches. They know who will win and some general moves, but they take a POUNDING in the ring. Nor the mat or the ropes are soft.

It really is frustrating when all these people say WWF Wrestling is fake and so are Bin Laden/Al Qaeda; f-in conspiracy theorists!

@Robbie: Agree and I bet anyone facing a guy like a Regal, Bradshaw or Bob Holly can only dream they'd stop 2 inches from their face :1orglaugh

As far as rehearsals go, they usually practice big spots or sequences as well as the finish, but not much else. How could you? It'd take a hell of a memory to remember the entire sequence for a 20 or 30 minute match, while being dropped on your head and beat up.

Wrestlers usually call the match while wrestling it; usually one leading (often the veteran but not always; Chris Jericho is known to let the rookies get baptism under fire when wrestling him by having them call it). It's pretty easy to notice them whispering to each other when in rest holds or if the camera men are asleep on the job.

I still think most wrestlers are extremely talented athletes and have a tough life. Just the travel schedule (for WWE guys) is enough to wear anyone else out, never mind the injuries!

Bottom line, though, is wrestling is for entertainment. It's like watching a movie, or TV show. I argue all the time with people who say "but why do you watch that and not UFC, UFC is real!" to which my reply is usually, I am more entertained by story lines and seeing guys performing often incredible feats and moves, than watching guys hump each other on the ground for an hour (yes I'm generalizing, but you get the point).

To each their own, but for me, I'm WAY more entertained by ROH, WWE and even TNA the few times I watch it, than any MMA event. :2 cents:

They say it's fake because they don't hit each other with maximum force. In other words, they hit each other lightly. However, it can get dangerous when they start climbing cages and jumping up and down. Some of them break a bone sometimes.

those are real dude

Nice joke...

those tits are disturbing... :Oh crap

Your entire post = completely wrong.

YOUR post however is pretty much spot on point-for-point. :thumbsup
(especially the part about the UFC and guys humping each other, ha)


I spent many years back in the late 70's and early 80's working around and for the wrestlers, have known many of them quite well. They used to come in to the gym my family owned, and a few years later I worked for the hotel they stayed at when they were in town. Drove them to and from matches, drove them to and from appointments, even picked up their prescriptions for them. I often spotted guys like Hulk Hogan, Jesse Ventura, Ken Patera, Nick Bockwinkle, The Iron Sheik, etc, on the bench press or other exercises.

"Golden Boy" Adrian Adonis once asked me for my towel while I was working out near him and Jesse V, and he wiped his stupid face in my pit sweat. (I didn't really care for that guy, he was one of the few who was a true dink both in and out of the ring)

They were all basically friends outside the ring, at the very least brothers in arms. In front of the camera or otherwise in the public eye they mostly kept quiet around their fellow wrestlers in order to keep up appearances for their scripted "feuds", rivalries, etc.

On several occasions I was witness to their practice times, where they went through their dry runs and rehearsals for upcoming matches.

The movie "The Wrestler" actually had a lot of elements of the life correct. Every one of the old greats I knew pesonally were all pretty beat up, had taken a pounding to their bodies for years and decades, and all showed signs of it being a pretty tough life. Ken Patera once told me "Whatever you do don't become a wrestler". I know some of them wouldn't trade it for the world though.

how is that? care to elaborate?

IMHO, some of the "cliques" in wressalin seem to have taken it to extreme levels and started to believe their own hype.

Take the 4 Horsemen for example. What was up with "Arn Anderson"...seems like he was letting his enforcer persona take over his real life....thaths what it seemed like from watching documentaries

I did. Read the rest of my above post.

it's fake!

LOL that's fucking hilarious! :1orglaugh

oh fuck pleae sign up to nasty dollars

was about to post that one myself :)

ADG

My 9 year old son wanted me to take him to a wrestling match. This was about a year ago. I didn't want to go, but paid the exorbitant price for tickets and took him because that is what you do for your kids. I had a really rough day at work and was tired as hell the night we went. This tag team match came up and the wrestlers came out with glow sticks. Seemed like all the kids had them too. Everybody stood up to watch the match and I felt this was the perfect time to take a little snooze. Those damned wrestlers threw their glow sticks in to the audience for kids to get and one of them hit me smack dab in the middle of the forehead. I woke up to see kids scrambling for something and my little boy was pissed that I didn't catch the glow stick for him. That was my first and last WWE experience.

...tell Owen Hart about how fake it is.

Google him, if you do not know what I mean.

100% fake

100% fake.

thought people stopped arguing this when they were 14.
