Anyone here like professional wrestling?
« on: January 24, 2008, 08:36:23 PM »
Yeah I know it's scripted and what not, i've been watching WWF since 1995 although I stopped watching for a while in 2007 after the whole Benoit murder thing. Saw RAW in High Definition last nite on my 42" Fujitsu plasma, wow!

I also watch TNA (Total Nonstop Action) and ROH (Ring Of Honor). I watch a few promotions over in Japan as well.

Please tell me i'm not the only fan  ;D

No, you're certainly not the only one! I'm a big fan of Wrestling and have been to several wrestling matches at MSG and Nassau Colliseum. I even went to a few ECW events. Those are absolutely nuts, but so much fun! I was at Wrestlemania 10. I was at MSG when Stone Cold Steve Austin stunned McMahon for the first time :)

My students sometimes get amazed when they see how much I know about wrestling and how well I can understand the conversations they have about it.

It's nice to see I'm not the only one on this forum that's into this :)

I liked it as a kid, but I gave it up at about 12 or 13.  It was a thrill to see the Iron Sheik on Howard Stern a while back though.

Awsome, I went to a few shows with my dad in the past. We went to a WCW Nitro in 1996 in Chicago, it was Arn Anderson vs Ric Flair in a cage match and Brian Pillman interfered, and it was crazy to see Hulk Hogan live. I was 11 years old at the time.

I also went to several WWF house shows in 1997 and WWF Backlash pay per view in 2001 in Chicago.

Being there live is a crazy experience.

I never went to a ECW show but I watched it when they were promoting barely legal pay per view. Paul Heyman the founder of ECW was also Jewish, that guy is a wrestling master mind. It's a shame what WWE has done to ECW today.

If you like pure wrestling with a lot of talent, seriously check out ROH, these guys are really talented.

Heres some videos. I also have videos of Japanese wrestling on my youtube though the matches are really violent (death matches)

Heres some ROH stuff.

These guys have a lot of talent.

I also watched CZW a bit but it's rediculously violent and just a bunch of spot monkeys that probably aired in snuff fimls.

Depends what your watching, WWE some of the girls are wearing outfits that are a bit revealing.

Not all wrestling is like that.

I'm not into it, but as long as you know it's theater, hey enjoy it as such.

I'd really suggest watching Ultimate Fighting, it's real, and you can learn something (like real fighting moves) from watching.  O0

The wrestling now is not as good as it was back in the 1980's.  The bits were better, the ones who were champs, were champs longer, and the rivaries were also longer.  There are too many times that they have the same matches every week on TV.  It's getting tired.  Last week, there was a show showing how all the wrestling moves are actually done.  Did anyone see that show?

Yes but that is WWE, there are many wrestling promotions which do not have the horrible storylines or bad wrestling WWE has now. I still watch WWE occasionally just for kicks but it's nothing like it used to be.

Wrestling was good years ago however its become a big money freak show and for the most part the matches are all fixed. Its just not the same.

When I was a little kid I liked Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant.

I like the Undertaker a lot.

I haven't watched wrestling in a long time though because it's really raunchy.
Yes Andre and the Hulk were great!

I was probably one of the few girls who actually had a Hulk Hogan action figure, complete with a little plastic championship belt.

Those action figures are rare now and go for quite a bit of money nowadays. I had a large collection, when we moved a number of years ago, my mother put them somewhere, now she doesn't remember.

Ric Flair was actually campaigning for Huckabee in SC a little while ago.

I liked to watch it about two years ago but than my parents cancelled The Sport Channel so I couldn't watch it and by time passing I lost any interest in it.

I've seen that list before, theres a number of other wrestlers not listed who are also Jewish, Colt Cabana from ROH (who is coming to WWE) is also Jewish and very talented. The founder of ROH was Feinstein who was Jewish although....he is not a good person, you can PM me for more details.

DDP is one of the last people i'd figure to be Jewish, Macho Man definitely Jewish, A-Train was one of the last people i'd figure to be Jewish as well, Kane as well, billy kidman knew he was Jewish, Paul Heyman definitely Jewish, Bill Goldberg definitely Jewish), Raven didn't know he was Jewish but interesting, Kevin Nash was surprising to me, Brian Pillman I knew was Jewish and one of my favorite wrestlers (RIP).

You can find a full list of Jewish wrestlers at obsessed with wrestling.

Khali is very boring, slow, and cannot wrestle.

I think WWE only hired him because he was very big and  killed a man in real life accidental

On May 28, 2001, Brian Ong died after receiving a flapjack from Singh. Ong had suffered a previous concussion during the session, but the trainers gave him a lower evaluation for not avoiding injuries and told him to continue training. In addition, it was proven that Ong did not receive any protective gear or supervision by APW staff. This second concussion ultimately proved fatal for him. As Singh inadvertently caused his death, Ong's family brought a lawsuit against All Pro Wrestling. They were found liable for recklessness after less than a day of deliberations, awarding the Ong family for damages of over $1.3 million.

When I was a kid, I thought Macho Man was a schwartze but later learned he was a white Jew.  I guess he just had a tan.  When the Iron Sheik was on Howard Stern, he called Macho Man a cheap Jew!
