Does pro wrestling get unfairly judged?

Question

i dont think it gets the respect it deserves...people unlike us wrestling fans think just because its fake that its stupid and a joke..do you really think they realize what kind of athletes and how hard these guys work do go out night after night to do this? i dont believe they do

Answer 1

I agree with you. i wish more people in this world loved this sport.


Besides like baseball, basketball, ect, what isnt a scripted show on tv?

WWE/TNA (even though not a fan of TNA but i will give it its credit.) not only lets you see wrestlers beat up people, but it also has a story to go with it. very addicting and entertaining if you ask me.

Answer 2

There's athletic ability involved in all sorts of activities. Ever try ballet? The point of sports is competition. Two athletes or teams competing for victory -- that's where sports get their drama.

Wrestling takes that very crucial element out of the equation. They aren't trying to win, they are trying to put on a good show. That makes it a soap opera in tights.

I'm not offering to trade places with these guys; it's a tough life. I have no desire to get hit by a chair or with atomic drop. I'm not denying that people do and can like it. I'm all for people enjoying it.

I just prefer to have my sports have real winners and losers. And it's really tough to see people debate who might win matches, particularly when you use historical figures. Would Bruno Sammartino beat Ric Flair? How can you know what would happen if they wrestled when they both knew what would happen in their matches for their entire careers?

Answer 3

Yes lots of people say its gay and all fake but they dont understand how hard u hav to work, they work over 300 days a year and in ufc they work like 3-5 times year. And a kot of them says its gay cuz they dont understand it and when they do watch it all they say is this is so fake and when they reall get hurt or really start to bleed all they say is this so fake.

Answer 4

Thats just ufc fans who run down every other sport that is not ufc. wrestling is entertainment. It just gets shunned because it is fake. But now since ufc is so huge people start looking down on pro wrestling. I can't watch ufc it doesn't entertain me.

Answer 5

It so does!!! And it pisses me off because my sister always tells me that its dumb and i shouldn't watch it because it's "Fake". Ya so it's fake it's ENTERTAINMENT, it's like going to see a movie or watch another TV show.
And by the way although The Big Show helped John Cena pick him up, John Cena still had to carry a 500 pound man on his back!
P.S. i know Cena's pretty **** and has like 5 moves he was just the first example that came to mind.

Answer 6

It's just a horde of stupid UFC fans who think all other sports fans are morons. Just because its fake doesn't mean that it doesn't require true athletes.

Answer 7

human beings like that don't extremely understand wrestling and function shallow minds. they are the single questioning that wrestling is actual lol because of the fact they might't settle for that that's leisure. I salute wrestlers because of the fact they are extra actual than actors. i think of Jackie Chan is a actual actor that don't prefer doubles.

Answer 8

because wrestling can be control unlike a real sport.. if the other wrestler is a better athlete it don't count because if the other guy can sell more stuff he's the one on top

Answer 9

Nope. All the mainstream media care about is when one of the pro wreslters dies because of anything related to steroids.

Answer 10

I definitely think it's unfairly judged.People don't realize what they put their bodies through.Yeah,it's scripted,but the hits and falls they take are completely real.
