What Eric Bischoff had to deal with off stage was definitely not scripted, if anybody watched the Monday Night War would know. Goldberg's another wrestler whose played for the Falcons before.Might I add Ken Shamrock who wrestles in UFC and that type of fighting.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Rok @ Jan 17 2007, 01:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I guess this turned into a fake or not discussion. My stance is the same as Justice. I think there's a realness to the bumps wrestlers take and the toll over the years. But there is the aspect of it being fake at times. And it's true, I'm not going to defend that it's 100% real. Because that's just being naive. As for inferno matches being thrown around as it not being faked. I think that's one of the fake portions of the wrestling world. Why? Not because of the flames obviously but the fact there not going to actually put someone in harm's way of flames. Notice how the finishes towards the matches end with a wrestler being set on a fire in a safe spot. It's similar to saying wrestling isn't fake because wrestlers blade themselves. Too gimmicky.</div>Thank God you have some sense.The point was not to say that there is nothing to admire about wrestlers. They are very strong, durable, and it is a very demanding sport. You can call what they do being "worked" or "scripted" or whatever, but those are just euphemisms for it being fake to an extent. The point that I made is just being agreed with, in my opinion. If you say, "Well, of course some of it is worked so that the wrestlers have longer careers," then you are agreeing with me in every sense.Yeah, okay, people have gotten injured in matches. Athletes have gotten injured slamming their foot in a door, too. Are you telling me there should be a slamming your opponent's foot in the door match? Let's be realistic. Flames can be dangerous, but they are way more controllable than most other matches, like I said.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (LAZY @ Jan 17 2007, 10:47 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>The only one that comes to mind is Chyna, and idk she is real or fake. Other than that as much as I've watched wrestling I dont think I've seen a girl on roids</div>Chyna is definitely a roider. There's no way a girl could get that big naturally. It's not physically possible... unless she's like a hermaphrodite or something.

College sports, I'm talking about pro so you named a couple that's cool. I was just in a bad mood I guess. Wrestling isn't that bad. A few of the episodes I've watched have been pretty funny and enjoyable.

I do agree that most either can't play another sport such as football anymore due to injury, or they are just too old to do so. Case in point: Brock Lesnar.
To everyone and anyone who sits there and says "Wrestling is fake".... No f*cking sh*t! So is practically everything shown on TV (no, the "Real World" is NOT Real friends!), as well as movies! It's all FAKE! I love wrestling, I hate the WWE. I love independant wrestling, as well as TNA.

I said "so is practically everything else" I didn't say EVERYTHING, I think we can make these deductions on our own without your smart-f*cking-ass pointing them out to make a weak point.Not everything in/about wrestling is "fake" either. It's not an "insult" to say wrestling is fake, when the same people who're are trying to discredit wrestling by saying so, are the same ones who sit there and watch/believe "Reality TV" when it's anything BUT real.

I think that's a pretty strong point, as I gave many examples and have many others, if you'd like to hear them. If you can make simple deductions like that, perhaps you shouldn't say things that are completely contrary to those deductions.And thank you, I am smart.
