Seeing as this is obviously what you want, talk about your favourite wrestling stars, favourite matchups, favourite corporations and chairmans.

Favourite Wrestler: RVD

Favourite Match Ever: RVD vs Jeff Hardy Ladder Match for Hardcore Championship

The way rob sells that ddt at 3:30 in part 2 is why he is so fantastic. The athleticism, high risk, agility and versatility in this match was incredible.

Favourite Chairman/Promoter: Paul Heyman

He was influential in bringing talent into WCW, set up ECW and brought it to mainstream as well as managing Brock Lesnar to bring him to the top. He's also a hilarious commentator. Without him, wrestling wouldn't be where it is today.

Favourite Corporation: ECW

That shit was real back in the day. It wasn't broadcast before midnight and it was fucking brilliant.

Favourite Diva: Stacy Keibler

Favourite Tag Team: Dudley Boyz

Most successful Tag Team in wrestling history, I think they have 18 tag team titles across 4 corporations. D'VON!! GET THE TABLES

Heh, sorry for ruining your RVD topic in OT. Didn't see the need for the unprovoked flame though.

OT:

Not watched it in fucking ages, watched the most recent PPV event though, whichever one it was, used to watch it religiously when i was young, remember Filthy Animals when Rey Mysterio was in them, masked Kane, etc.

Wrestler: Triple H - Love the guy.

Match: Can't really remember all the oldschool ones, most recent i've watched -

Commentator: JR, no questions. Fuck Tazz.

Diva: Kelly Kelly, used to be Candice, and before Candice, Lita <3

Tag Team: DX.

It wasn't unprovoked, you were being annoying. Jr is so good. "AS GOD AS MY WITNESS, HE IS BROKEN IN HALF!"

I loved Lita, was always a hardy boyz fan and she came out with that thong on and pants low I was like omg omg omg omg omg... I still am.

I'm gonna stray a little off of the entertainment side of wrestling and ask if anyone on these forums has taken wrestling in high school/college?

Posted

I haven't done it no, It isn't an option for me. If it was, I'd have done it and then probably never played scape and met you guys so I'm glad I didn't.

looking back on it i was a little shit when i was younger :o suprised no1 died

Posted

^ Closest i did was Swanton off some thing into a ball pit at Wacky Warehouse when i was like eight

Gareth l Rare

Oh no everyone did swantons/backflips ect on bouncy castles/ball pits at Mc d's but i mean hard ground

Posted

Lol pro wrestling isn't a sport, why is this even here? It's fake, get this crap off.

It's a spit on the face of real wrestling, I wrestle at the varsity level, but this is just horribly scripted TV.

Posted

Hey Smush, I bet you couldn't do any of what they can do. How about you FUCK OFF

Posted

Well yeah, for one I'm not a bad actor. I'll give them credit, dudes can fly.

If you consider pro wrestling a sport you are DELUSIONAL. I thought you had a little more common sense than that.

It's scripted entertainment, please tell me you don't think it's real.

edit: But I did enjoy WWE and WWF back in the day. Still not a sport though.

Posted

Thank you for reminding me about Stacy Keibler.

Never understood wrestling...........can somebody explain to me the entertainment value of it.

I didn't say nor imply it's real. I love it, yes it's scripted but I tell you what. I took a look at my handy oxford dictionary and looked up this definion...

sport

Pronunciation:/spɔĖt/

noun

an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment

Is it an activity? Well yes, they're moving about and doing shit.

Physical exertion? Well it's extremely demanding to run, jump etc for 20 mins.

Skill? Some of these guys are the most athletic and talented people.

Compete? It's a fight...

Entertainment? I'm thoroughly entertained... and you liked the old WWE(F) too...

As for old WWE I suggest you make the move over to TNA. Most recent main event featured: Sting, Scott Steiner, Jeff Hardy, Jerry Lynn, Rob Van Dam, Kurt Angle, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Bubba Ray Dudley... and it was fucking AWESOME!

Posted

Fair play, but to be even fair, the WWE considers itself entertainment rather than an actual sport. Most definition of sports will have something along the lines of being competitive, the WWE can never be competitive because it's 100% scripted.

But I did enjoy the days of Stone Cold Steve Austin and even Shawn Michaels.

I have to agree with Smush, in order for it to be a sport there has to be some form of competition but I wont take away the fact these guys are mostly great athletes.

Posted

Well I suppose that's why snooker, gold and darts are all considered sports now too. I'd rather this than those be sports.

RVD vs Jerry Lynn in Bound for glory was so fucking sick. Van terminator off the top into a ladder. KO.

also note, you think this move would be acceptable in MMA?
