You need a hobby. Or a girlfriend to take your mind off all these important issues (like telling others how they should live) in your community. They’re happy with their low brow entertainment and you’re upset by it. Who do you think has the problem?

Stop your self righteous pontification.

Yes, I am very, very angry. Right now. I am furious about their choice in entertainment. Because by mocking them and pointing out that your average wrestling fan above the age of 18 has an IQ on-par with the temperature inside a meat locker I am infact entering into a state of rage.

Be careful, I might reach super-saiyan level 11 and start a small wrestling federation out of my backyard. It will be very extreme. Pants will be optional.

You sure impressed me with your opinion, baretta. NOT

I would like to give you mad props for what you did here, by the way

It’s like you had me for a second. First off you were all like, you know, “you impressed me with your opinion”- but that was pretty confusing because it seemed you didn’t like his opinion.

It’s like you knocked me off balance for a second but then you dropped them bomb:

NOT!

BAM oh my god

It was like, “holy shit.” I actually said holy shit out loud, and my dog looked at me, and my dog was like “holy shit” too because what you did there was actually set it up so that people thought you were impressed by his opinion just so you could KNOCK IT DOWN. All of the sudden you were over here but it was like a juke and you just blew past everyone.

Seriously my heart is racing that was incredible.[/quote]

LOL!

maybe he forgot the strangle holds were supposed to be fake.

Now that was funny.

Speaking of OJ, how many of you started bashing casual football fans after he knifed his ex and her lover?

How many of you started bitching that “Basketball is just a bunch of guys throwing a ball through a hoop. Its for children!” when Kobe was accused of raping some girl.

Or Mike Tyson. Do you judge boxing fans based on one lunatic?

If not… why do you suddenly feel the need to insult wrestling fans because of the actions of one wrestler?

Do you hold the same opinions of anyone who is entertained by something they should “grow out of” because its geared towards children? Adults who play video games? How about adults who read and collect comic books? Or, hell, watch a cartoon now and then?

Fuck, I enjoyed the POTC movies. Does that make me an inbred hick or give me a peter pan complex?

If wrestling is only for fools, why is Lucha Libre such an honored tradition in Mexico? Why is wrestling popular in Europe and Japan?

Yeah, its fake, and its geared towards children, and a lot of the time the acting is bad and the storylines are terrible, and sometimes they hire a nutjob who flips out and does something crazy. But to paint ALL wrestling fans as idiots is ignorant.

Yet it seems that it means enough for you to actually type it and post.

So just a large majority then?

wasn’t sure if this article was posted, it’s about “roid rage”

It means nothing to me.

  1. International events are less frequent and there isn’t a NASCAR in Europe to keep their trailer trash occupied, so this is a pretty big deal[/quote]

Actually, I don’t think any European in his right mind would watch NASCAR, we’ve got the Formula1, which is a hell of a lot more interesting.

However, the wrestling scene is still very small here, and it would be worth watching the American show just for the “freak factor”.

I am not a fan of NASCAR but F1 is really dull. Once someone jumps in the lead it is impossible to pass. The cars are amazing but it is not fun to watch.

MotoGP on the otherhand is great.

genius

do you think any one has stopped to think that maybe the “family emergency” was Benoit’s family being held hostage by some nutter and benoit"s suicide was in total despair of finding his wife and kid killed by said nutter? Or does the time scale not fit?

No! That would not fit into the politicians’ and media’s agenda against steroids!

Unless they can accuse the murderer of also being on steroids.

I’m no doctor, but it seems to me one should worry about the combined effects of multiple concussions and years of anabolic steroid use (which could lead to low T levels and depression in someone who was not on steroids currently, right)?

In this case, perhaps there was a trigger in his son’s medical condition that finally threw a wrench into Benoit’s psyche – does anyone know much about “Fragile X Syndrome”?

Nothing excuses the action – but I don’t think there’s an easy explanation for the cause.

Forgot to add use of prescription pain pills to the mix of the causation.

I’m sure the investigators gave that a thought, however it seems like a highly unlikely scenario…

“Sophisticated” isn’t the word that I would use to describe Europe. That is the world marketing firms use to sell European products. North American quality of life is ahead of most other places in the world.

I guess I should have included [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tags for the humor impaired.[/quote]

How did you know about my humor abuse? The other day I got so fucked up off humor. I told like 10 jokes in a row and passed out on the front lawn. My girlfriend says i should attend HA, but i can quit telling jokes anytime i like.

I said very little. So it meant I cared enough to write that reply…and this one…and possible enough for another. But no more than that.

Don’t forget about the stress of being Canadian!

How many spandex wearing wrasslin fans does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Three. One to pretend to change it and two more to argue they are not gay.
