I didn’t even know that was filmed!
Holy crap that’s awesome…
People over the age of 12 still watch this stuff?
Way too fake and ridiculous for me, IMO.
Thanks for sharing?

I was at Wrestlemania as well. The coolest part of the week for me though was lifting with The Hart Dynasty in my gym. That David Hart Smith has gigantic calves and his squat workout was pretty impressive.
Wrestlemania was awesome though and something that I never thought I’d get the chance to attend. Scratch that off the bucket list.[/quote]
He is the son of the Davey Boy Smith, I was disapointd that they USA only showed a little of the Hall of Fame ceremony and they quickly went over Stu Hart and Vachon.
I was pissed that they didn’t show all of Stu Hart’s honestly.
If anyone deserves the time it’s the patriarch of the Hart family.

No, Undertaker won.
It was a really sad moment, the arena wanted neither man to lose.
I’m waiting to get a picture that my brother took after the end of the match…
HBK was coming up the ramp, not slapping any fans hands just pointing and waving.
All of a sudden he stops, crouches down (the ramp was about 6 feet in the air) and grabs MY hand.
He smiled and said “Oh my goodness, I won’t forget you…”
It was truly just a wow moment… very defining for me. I’ll post that picture the second my brother sends it to me.
In the mean time here’s another badass pic…[/quote]
Sweet
Not that I dislike HBK, but Undertaker’s been my dog since I started watching wrestling. I got in a bit late, I started watching when he had lost some match and was about to come back. They had Leslie Nielson come in a play a detective trying to find the Undertaker and he was terrible (meaning he was terrible as a detective, but I thought it was a funny bit).
That’s awesome that he said that to you, I’m envious, do you know him? I’m curious why he would say that to some random person…

It’s called acting, not fake. There’s a difference, they know we know it isn’t real, that’s why they call it “sports entertainment”. Depsite that fact, they still have to train hard and take a lot of shots that normal people can’t handle, which to me earns respect regardless. Not to add to the busy year-round schedule, never being in the same place very long and having to go out and speak in front of crowds. I admit, it’s a male soap opera, but fuck it, it’s still awesome.

I was at Mania 13 in Boston looking at the fan stuff I wish I lived in a bigger city, we only had one event over by Quincy Market and the douches ruined it by throwing a rock at Michaels. Of course my city is the one where Austin won his first World title give me a “HELL YEAH!!!”[/quote]
That was my favorite time in WWE/F, when Stone Cold and the Rock were both on top. I don’t think there will be another time like that, at least not for me. I like Cena and all, but he seems like a Rock clone to me, does anyone else see the resemblence?

Hey, I’ve got a shocker for you: Did you know that the movies and TV shows you watch are scripted, too?!?
Yes, the outcomes of movie fights (and every other aspect of the film) are pre-determined and don’t result from the actual fighting abilities of the stunt doubles, or actual intellectual brilliance of the actor or anything else.
I’m sorry to disappoint you with that fact. It must ruin your enjoyment.
Bill Roberts, you’re officially one of my favorite people ever.

When someone tells me about a book I just have to read…I raise my left eyebrow, look down my nose at them, sniff the air and say…“You know they just make all that stuff up right?”
Eli B, I have no idea! We’d never met… It was just such a cool moment.
Maybe he knew he was making a moment for me to remember, I dunno. I just really appreciated it whether he thought about it and planned it or not.
Wrestling went downhill after the rock left, which was about the time I stopped watching it.
It’s funny when i occasionally switch it on to see all the various randoms, coupled with a few I do remember still performing the same corny over the top bullocks storylines, the overly predictable patterns of the ref counting 1…2…OHHHHH!! He flicked his shoulder up!! how on earth did he get out of that one!!!
But the funny thing is, even though I know what a pile of bullcrap it is, I still find myself strangely drawn into watching it, maybe it’s just nostalgia and childhood memories, or maybe it’s just like the majority of stuff on TV - designed to make you sit there, like a zombie, watch the adverts, buy the stuff in the adverts, buy the merchandise, buy tickets to go see it, basically designed so someone can make money out of the easily fooled.
Think about it, it’s never gonna end, the tension, the not knowing, at the end of this storyline, theres gonna be another, then another after that, there is no conclusion, your just gonna be sitting, wondering whats gonna happen after the break, next episode, next event, and by the time you find out what is going to happen, they’ve already cleverly trapped you into repeating the cycle by starting up another storyline that follows the same underlying formula: build tension, build tension, keep them waiting for along as possible so we can get as much money out of them, then build some new tension, next thing you know, your life has been spent sitting on your ass watching the same mind numbingly pointless shit while some prick behind some desk somewhere spends the money he got from you watching his stupid TV show by sniffing coke off of hookers tits, or just generally having a great time.
Yeah so, I think I have issues with TV…
Or maybe you could just enjoy watching Jericho call the audience liars, hypocrites, and gelatinous tapeworms and seeing some entertaining action.
Jericho is the business, lets be honest.
Never cared much for Jericho, I still remember when he first came to WWE, he still has that same countdown going. I was so dissapointed.
That’s what soap operas are, Chewwy. They never stop, just keep going. And that’s what wrestling is pretty much, as far as the storylines go at least
