QUOTE(bob_TCC @ Apr 19 2005, 06:11 PM) What do you say? Is pro wrestling a sport? I think anything where the result (winner/loser/score) is determined by scriptwriters and promoters and not the events on the playing field (in this case ring) should not be considered a sport. These guys are just actors playing characters .. I admit you do have to be athletic to be a wrestler.. and there is a huge risk of injury if things go wrong .. but basically, as many wrestlers have said, the results are mostly scripted - and many of the big moves are rehearsed to look cool and painful, but not cause severe pain or injury to the participants. -Jim

I did too, my Grandfather & Uncle owned a bar in Chicago. I remember these guys at the event, then stopping in the bar... Dick the bruiser, Ukon moose cholak(sp?) & others..been awhile. The Shiek & Baron Von Rashke only at the event.
I can still remember a few(well alot..lol) YELLING "he's got a stick, he's got a stick"..Don't remember what it was, but one of the wrestlers had a foreign object, and the people were Yelling LOUD. Hey thanks for the memory Jog!!!!
PS- Not saying it's a sport just that it's funny. They are athletes, not just athletic.

i honestly used to love the wrestilng, I think it was more of the characters though than the actual "wrestling". thats what I think is wrong with the wwe today, there are no real characters. nobody can really support john cena or triple h, because they are just so boring. when I was a kid we had The Rock fighting Stone Cold at wrestlemania, we had Xpac fighting Kane, when Kane was really Kane and everybody was scared of him. The undertaker, what was up with being the american bad...? he was good enough when he was with edge, christian and viscera. Shaun Michaels, when I watched it he was a legend who everybody worried about, now he's just some average joe!
Rant over...sorry.
