I used to be a WWE fan....no longer have the time, nor interest to watch them anymore..and I hafta agree with Matt, may be fake..but alot of the moves those guys/ girls put there bodies threw.....deserves my applause.

oh and...HHH sucks...always has. Game Over!

[SnakeyeZ]

For a non believer...you quote as if you know alot about the matches..lol. Regardless...I highly doubt many of them do beleive its real, its entertainment and everyone has there thing...some wouldnt pay $50.00 to see a wrestling event...and then there are some who wouldnt pay $10 grand for a reptile. We arent all perfect.

RICH:

Yup once in awhile surfing the channels you catch a new drama part put into the show, then I realize its WWE and click off, back in the 80s I was a Hulk fan, knew it was lame but what else was on after Bugs Bunny on a Saturday night other than Magnum PI or Fantasy Island, lol.

LOL, true enough..even though it was thunder cats,hee man and fraggle rock for me!~

[gargoyle]

I don't care what anyone says about it being completely fake.........you can't jump off a 10-15 foot ladder, land on your side, back, a$$, or whatever and not expect the pain to be real!!!! These guys should be applauded for both there theatrical skills and there physical skills! I'd think twice before doing a lot of the things I"ve seen on there!

[sturiches2000]

Go Batista and Cena, and who cares if its fake, it's like soap opera's for men. I watch every week to see where the make believe stories are going, but still love it.

[JimmyDavid]

It's fake but the danger is real. Anyone remembers SID VICIOUS?

[Vengeance]

I used to watch the WWE but I found the story lines got stale and didn't find it fun to watch anymore.

As for it being fake, yea it's fake but that isn't the point. It is the male soap opera and fun and mindless to watch.

But as for the danger of wrestling, it is very real, just ask Mick Foley how real the danger is when he fell 15 Feet from a cage giving way and a chair falling behind him, hitting him in the face and knocking out 3 of his teeth. The match itself may be staged but the danger associated with some of the things that they do is very real.

*edit*

As another side note of the dangers of wrestling. Owen Heart comes to mind who died in an accident related to wrestling.

*edit again*

Also other mentions, Droz who is now a parapalegic (sp?) from getting dropped on his neck. Steve Austin who broke his neck and and now has constant neck and knee problems. Chris Benoit another neck injury person, there are more I just can't think of anymore at this point.

[Iceman]

you know alot of "adults" say it's fake, that they use ketchup for fake blood, lol..

the matches are scripted, they know who will win and lose, but like alot of the above posters said, falling off a high ladder doesnt feel fake to the wrestlers, or when everytime a wrestler is suppose to do it, he blades him self, normally either the wrestler has the little razor sharp blade in a capsul in his wrist band, or the ref hands it to them while he is down, and the ref pretends to ask if he's ok..

sometimes ignorant people make me laugh, tell them to go do a 450 splash and land wrong, or a shooting star press, then when there in a wheelchair for the rest of there life they wont be saying its fake anymore...

the word for wrestling is not fake, its scripted..

i have been watching wrestling since it was big john stud v.s andre the giant, or rick rude v.s ultimate warrior when to mock the warrior rick rude had a picture of him on his tights...

edit: want to talk injuries? ok..

1: d'lo brown powerbombed droz and paralized him for life

2: owen hart piledrived austin and made him have lifetime neck problems

3: vince mcmahon forced owen hart to come down from the rafters on a cord as the blue blazer, even though owen was scared of hights, and owen fell to his death

4: lita got a bigboot to the face with a highheel shoe, and had to get stitches over her high

5: mick foley was shot off of the top of the cell and got like 5 injuries at once including his tooth being pushed up through his upper lip..

i can go on and on

EVERYONE:

Did a fast search on google for wrestling deaths and got this site.

Bruiser Brody
On July 17 1988 Frank "Bruiser Brody" Goodish was wrestling in Puerto Rico for WWC. It is believed Brody and wrestler Jose Gonzales (also known as Invader III) got into a fight over something and it resulted in Brody being stabbed to death by Gonzales. Gonzales was arrested and questioned but no other wrestler would testify against Gonzales as the other Puerto Rican wrestlers were not fond of American wrestlers at all and the American wrestlers were scared for their lives if they talked. The case was never figured out and Jose Gonzales has never been charged of anything.
