Blasphemy. This is obviously no more than number 5 or 6 in a list of 5,600,756 dumb threads. Doesn’t “obese guy lifting backyard debris for toughness” beat “look how huge Brock Lesner is!”?
Texasguy’s posts alone almost put it over the top though. I personally give it a 3.2 on a sliding scale.
yes because fake wrestling is real.
nuh-uh
bodybuilding’s fake! You already know what’s going to happen because it’s predetermined. I could tell you what happens at the next olympia if I saw the last one, it’s something like this:
Guys come out on stage and flex in countless positions which are PRE DETERMINED!!!(FAKEFAKEFAKE) Then they all have their own individual time to pose (predetermined AGAAAAIN!) and then they have the challenge round. So therefore since professional bodybuilders use steroids, and it’s predetermined, it’s FAKE.[/quote]
in body building, basketball, football, wrestling etc you do have pre set rules, plays and predictable games. you don’t have predetermined outcomes.
in body building, the competition lies with the judges score on each body. the positions give the judges a view to make a judgement.
kobe bryant isn’t told to sink his third shot, miss his fourth and then get fouled and make both freethrows so that a pre-determined score and victory can be fulfilled.
football teams aren’t instructed to drop passes, intentionally fumble etc.
WWE entertainers are told to intentionally miss punches (fake punches), they are told to allow themselves when to be slammed and how, and they know who the winner is before they ever start. there is no real competition and if you think it is a real competition you have some issues.
it is pre-determined and therefore entertainment, not sport.
and steroids have fuck all to do with any of it. you are combining two seperate discussions and doing so out of context. steroids don’t make a sport real or fake. the steroid comment was in acknowledgement of brock lessners drop in physique when he went from the WWE to MMA, as well as observations of other WWE performers and the fact that the WWE is not tested by any sports commission, so they get away with steroids, which make them bigger, stronger and more marketable for entertainment purposes.
2 seperate conversations. try to stay on topic.
i’m wondering what the IQ level of some of you posters is.
