Can someone explain WWE and WWF to me.
I don't get it. It's all show, all made up, not a sport whatsoever, no real matches.

Still, people see it. :confused:

To my knowledge NASCAR is still racing and not determined before the race.

Can your car go 160mph and get 4 new tires and fuel in about 15 seconds? If so, I'll pay to see you drive around your local wal-mart.

Wrestling, fake, fixed.

Wrestling is entertainment. It's not presented as something real. They stopped presenting it as a real sport back in the early 90's. It's more like a soap opera now than a sport. Backstage and storyline segments make up a much higher proportion of the air time now.

Best description of wrestling I can come up with, or rather best close replacement. Go to a play and have them throw in an acrobatics act. Now take this acrobatic play and televise it live to millions of people. What do you have now, a relatively entertaining show. And that's what it is, a show.

It's no more entertainment than TV. Why the hell do you watch TV? Oh and when you have former NCAA champion amateur wrestlers, former Olympic Gold medalists, and former UFC Fight Champions going to the WWE, it means it's a lot more than show.

Isn't 99% of what is on TV fake??????

The simpsons is fake. Every sitcom is fake. Then why do you bash wrestling for being fake??? Just proves you are hypocritical........

actually i am glad the WWE is fake. why? because if it was real, you wouldn't be seeing all those cool moves. you'd be seeing two guys on the ground hugging each other for the majority of the match. if you enjoy that, go watch UFC.

You had better get it looked at. It sounds like it has a mind of its own. ;)
