So, it seems like every single kid i know can't live a day without saying the names Undertaker, John Cena, Randy Orton or something like that, i mean, i know a AAA mexican wrestler, and he told us it is a spectacle, and if you look at it from an entertainment point of view, yeah it is a BIG show, but i mean ive heard people arguing about it all beeing real to the point where i just feel sorta annoyed, not like i have a problem with them, but i dont know.
Anyway just wanted to see what you guys think about all this stuff =)

We watched a match between Rick Flair and Dusty Rhodes (I have no idea if I spelled the names right) one night and my father and I took a road trip to Charlotte the next day. The same two men who had promised to kill each other the night before were having breakfast together at our hotel and laughing about some fat woman in the audience. We told my brother and he STILL didn't buy it. He thought it was all real for the longest time.

But I stopped after I see too much blood currently. The audience are demanding more and more causing more and more danger to the "performers". |

Anyway just wanted to see what you guys think about all this stuff =) | A while ago one Vincent Kennedy McMahon was before Congress defending himself for allegations of steroid use among his athletes and him encouraging it. Notables like Gene Okerlund and Hulk Hogan (among others) had given testimony damaging to Vince McMahon. Vince told the congressional committee that pro wrestling was "sports entertainment" and that the winners were chosen before the matches.
Ironically now when I hear the commissioners of pro sports use the phrase "sports entertainment" when referring to their ideas of what they want to present to their fans, I cringe.

It is fake, the story lines, the winners etc. However, certain things are in fact real. You can't fake falling through a table or falling on the mat etc. A great example would be Undertaker vs. Mankind in the Hell in Cell. |
