I'm 32, beencwatvhing since wrestlemania 2. I got into it big time when the Rockers broke up.

Watched wrestling from the early 90's to early 00's. I watch old stuff from time to time on YouTube. There's 2 wrestling series of games I usually play. The AKI games and the Fire Pro games. Good times.

Garugo: The fact that it's basically a giant logo with the word CHAMPION emblazoned across the bottom, without any place for the Champion's name or anything, just looks like the lazy way to go about making a new championship.
You forgot about the two sidepieces, currently staring a brahma bull on it. It looks like they are replaceable to me. Not to mention that it wouldn't make any sense (even for WWE) letting other champions run around with basically the Rocks logo on the belt. So I'd guess that's where the name / logo / whatever will be placed.

Are you serious? Wow, you are.

Good acting is sufferable even though in the end it is fake, because a good piece of cinema or an immersive video game should do a good job of providing the illusion that what is being experienced is real. Bad acting is not sufferable, because it reminds you constantly that you are watching something fake. Something with no depth to it, like wrestling, is not sufferable because even IF the "acting" was good, it's fucking wrestling.

I really can't tell if you are, so I have to ask you the same. Are you seriously coming into a thread asking for fans of professional wrestling, and saying it's fake? Is there a point to that besides trolling?

It isn't fake, it's scripted. There is a difference. The wrestlers still put their bodies on the line and quite a large number have suffered because of this "fake" sport.

He had to go to another forum where children hang out so that he could tell all of them that Santa Clause isn't real.

If you consider wrestling as acting, then the wrestlers take the part of the stuntmen in the movies. You don't respect those too, because obviously it's fake?

You like to point out when other people go offline, as if there's something wrong with not spending all of one's time on a forum waiting for a response.
I check back every so often for notifications. You may constantly refresh your page and stare at the screen until you see red (through eye strain or otherwise), or you might use GOG as your facebook, but I'm normal. I don't do that sort of thing.

Really don't understand how people can like a fake fighting sport. Movies, theater, and video games get a free pass because they can't possibly be real, and their depth makes up for it by far. Fake wrestling has no depth, unless you're twelve.

Peace.

Seriously, whats worse? Spending all day pointing out when people are on line or spending all day pointing out the short comings of others? And one more thing; why when someone missuses or misspells a word you jump on them for it, "I'm in awe that someone who can hardly spell thinks he's people." but when you do it you just blow it off? "...I was forced to parandoidedly (not a word, but who cares)..."

If you have seen a good wrestling match, you would know that wrestling can have depth. We know it's scripted but it's a form of entertainment. It's acting with stunts. Older wrestling at least is like watching super heroes in a ring. The wrestlers were larger than life, they did stuff no regular human could do. They were like super humans and that made it great. Sometimes the good guy won, sometimes the bad guy won. It was great entertainment. Just like how we watch movies, how we watch television programs. We know they're scripted but it's entertainment.

Also, I hate it when people claim that they're "normal" and someone else isn't. What is being "normal" anway? Doing what everyone else does?
