Only thing I saw interesting was that thick black chick that throws her ass unto girls faces. Forgot her name.

Same people who have something to say about adults watching wrestling will turn around watch and talk about reality shows like they're real. :mjlol:

Same people will sit and discuss breaking bad like that shyt is American history.

And :laff: if you think 'real sports' are never 'fixed' ...nothing is what it seems on TV.

At the end of the day I'm not scared to be entertained.

or game of thrones, I mean its some fantasy shyt with zombies and dragons, grown men stay referencing lines from movies quotes from tv shows like they are real.. like the event in breaking bad could actually happen, people act like the wire was a documentary.. But you don't get why we watch wrestling?

But I honestly I think its cause wrestling always had a low brow, carny racist redneck negative stereotype to it, even when it was hot in the 80'-90's people weren't vocal about it, it was always the guilty pleasure, I am shocked at how many people admit to having watched it during those days cause back then nobody admitted to it.. I remember being in school and waiting for the small group of people that I knew that watched so I could talk about it, all the "cool" kids were chasing women and talking about sports and hip hop, wrestling never had public appeal.. So if you still don't get it OP then you never will or you probably secretly watch it and don't want to admit cause you are the only one you know that does..

I stopped when they killed Vince McMhaon and brought him back

:mjlol: I remember that. It happened when RAW came to Philly I believe. He walked into the limo and it exploded and my young, dumb ass thought it really happened :snoop: I remember Chris Benoit did his murder suicide around that time and they were :whoa: on that storyline.

Pro Wrestling has just the right amount of fukkery for me after I get home from work. Where else can I watch an actor do all of their own stunts in a dangerous playground like setting?

shyt is entertaining, somethings still amaze me and the characters/stories are pretty good too. It's more intriguing than football or basketball, even though I still play basketball and watch both.

This thread gets made like once a month.

It's fun. Who wouldn't want to see incredible athleticism intertwined with some dramatic storyline.

It's like watching a live studio audience soap opera mixed with flippy shyt. Like anything else on TV, it's entertainment.

Plus the backstage fukkery is fun to discuss and dissect.

It always surprises me when people still ask this because whenever wrestling is on TV, it takes over the Twitter trending topics and you end up seeing the most random celebs tweeting about it.

A lot of grown men and women watch wrestling. They're just not discussing it all the time.

@September pretty much covered it for me.

Just to add on though, it's one of the rare forms of entertainment that still has a live audience that can shift the writers plans at a moment's notice.

Also the fact that wrestling's most watched show airs completely live means there's so much fukkery in the TSC thread and on Twitter that you can't help but be entertained in some way.

If you think the product itself is trash after watching it than cool but I never understood people who stopped watching simply cause it was scripted.

If you look into pro wrestling's history, it actually was legit in the 20s and early 30s but they would 60 min snorefest matches so a group of promoters decided to start determining winners to help fan interest.
