[ Closed ] A few questions about Professional Wrestling (Page 1 of 11)

Weird--I was just thinking about this the other day.

It's completely real!

Seriously though, I don't get it. When I was a kid, WWF wrestling was huge. The other kids were all into watching wrestling on TV and collecting those rubber figures. It seemed pretty ridiculous to me. I preferred my violence in action movies, because the level of sophistication in the fakery was so much higher. The narrative element of wrestling was totally boring to me for the same reason--it just couldn't compete with the movies, or even books. When WWF wrestling faded away, I thought it was gone for good. I thought everybody had finally grown up.

But then it came back! And plenty of very intelligent people now like it for some reason. I still don't get it. They have ongoing plot lines and stuff, right? Like a soap opera? One guy has a beef with another, and they argue and form alliances, and then stab each other in the back? It just seems like part of the "bread and circuses" culture accompanying the decline of the American empire.

Probably Rowdy Roddy Piper, because he was in the movie They Live. And Andre the Giant because he was in The Princess Bride.

Probably not. If the changes are constructive, we'll be enlightened to the point where we won't need any of this silly entertainment. If the changes are destructive, the large-scale infrastructure that supports things like huge pay-per-view arena wrestling will be eliminated through war or calamity. Wrestling itself will probably still be around though, because kids like to wrestle.

It's fake.   I mean, you know that it's not real, right?  It's all show.   It's scripted, and it has its "good guys" and "bad guys" and it's basically a violent soap opera for guys.  Guys have their wrestling, their women have Days of Our Lives and All My Children.   But the bottom line is, like most shows, movies and entertainment, it's just fun distractions and diversions.    What scares me are those people who don't get that, and who take it seriously.   It's one thing to watch it seeing it for what it is, and to just have fun watching the wrestling moves and the costumes and the staged fighting and drama, but it's another thing entirely to *believe* it and actually get *caught up in it.*  THAT'S scary.

None.  I don't watch it.   Well, I have seen it, but, I don't *watch it.*  If that makes sense. 

Don't hold your breath there regarding 2012.  Based on many of your posts and your lists of questions, I can see that for you, many things hinge on "2012."   What will this be like after 2012, what will that be like after 2012, how will this be affected, how will that be affected.   2012 is not the end all be all.   Life will go on.   There may be some changes, and there might not be.  But like I said, don't hold your breath.

You know...............................sometimes I wonder about you....  Very strange.

Not sure I agree with you there.   Don't personally see how wrestling is "uplifting."  Nor "wholesome family entertainment."    I feel sorry for the family that gathers around the Glass Teat, bonding over wrestling.  How sad.   Unfortunately, that is the average American's mentality in the states that voted for Bush.    Wrestling and monster truck pulls and Wal*Mart and beer and country music. (oh wait....i've gone to wal*mart....)    "Hell Yeah!"      Which is why our country is in the state that it's in.      Sorry, I think my personal biases are coming through.......

I personally wonder if the Mayan calendar thing has been translated very accurately.  There has been evidence to show that what we've been told about the Mayan calendar isn't what they meant.   So be careful before just buying into something hook, line and sinker.   I'll be fair and honest here, several years ago I was one of the ones who bought into 2012.   Now I'm not so sure.   It's always good to read material that challenges what we've been taught, especially concerning New Age type topics.   We shouldn't have "Sacred Cows", be it the Grays / Aliens, or 2012, or what have you.  This world is riddled with disinformation.    Most everything we've been taught about anything, New Age or non-New Age, is backwards and inside out and just plain wrong.

So, while I don't doubt we seem to be in "interesting times", in fact I myself have even written about it, and the universal changes people seem to be going through right now, I also think that many in the New Age circle may have been mislead over the past 30 years, about many things....including 2012.   

As far as David Icke -- I really like David Icke, he's awesome.   However, it doesn't mean his word is God's word.   People can be wrong you know.   I believe he was wrong in endorsing Arizona Wilder as a credible witness regarding the Illuminati.   Just to name one example of where I don't necessarily agree with him.   So, while I enjoy Icke and own 3 of his books, it doesn't mean I believe everything he believes, nor use his views to prove something as being factual......as you have done here.

Because you post in a very strange sounding manner, as pointed out by many people here, and because you have said some very strange sounding things, such as:

- How is wrestling going to be affected.........by 2012.   

???!?!?!?!     hanh?!?!?

and:

- "The Illuminati should be destroyed after the changes but professional Wrestling should still live forever in my opinion."

????

and:   

- "I don't understand why any self respecting female would hang out with those sodomites!!" 

and:  Demanding for us normal, non-Godly people here at Noble Realms to tell you exactly where the souls of various dead people are currently residing or demanding that we tell you what the soul nature is of various alive people.   Like we'd know that, like we're God or something.   

Stuff like that.   I don't know, it's just very strange.   To me.   

That wasn't what I thought was strange.  You missed / misunderstood my point.  Please see my above comments for my explanation as to what I think is a little strange about some of your posts.

Really?    Professional Wrestling doesn't exist in my reality.   Yet amazingly, my life is very interesting and colorful.   I'm sorry to hear that in your reality you need wrestling to make life un-boring.   And yes, I do find that very strange. 

It sure is.  That's why I made sure to clarify that Moralman's board personality and questions were strange........*to me.*.

Dear Ayahuasca
kind regards
I can assure you that I started this thread to ask genuine questions about Wrestling.
This is a general discussion forum and therefore a discussion about wrestling is pretty general.
Wrestling fans are not always dim-headed but sometimes I am sure that they could be but I don't think its right to put everyone in the same basket.
In your opinion wrestling is dull, boring and retarded but in my mind I like wrestling.
You are probably a football fan and if thats what you like then I am happy for you however I still think that Wrestling is the greatest showbusiness.
I actually really do hope that after the changes in 2012 that Wrestling still exists and I am not joking.
I am sure that Jesus Christ(In whatever form he returns in) would allow professional wrestling and Boxing to continue however I don't think that he'd compete in either ring.
Jesus Christ is Gods son and therefore God is good-surely then God would allow goodness to reign after the changes.
I assume that professional wrestling along with all other positive things will be alot bigger than it is now.
If you believe that my views are strange then that is your opinion however I say what I believe and seeing as this is an alternative view forum I would have assumed that alternative views are welcome.
Yours thankfully
John

OK, now that I've calmed down and stopped laughing so hard. Seriously dude, I think that you're one of those people that posts crazy stuff on forums like these just to make us all look crazy along with you. Classic brotherhood technique to discredit attempts to take the kind of material we talk about here seriously. Well, whatever. Makes for a good hoot if nothing else. Keep 'em coming!

This is a good litmus test to see who is the most intolerant, it looks like.  I don't think it matters if you agree or not, to have a closed attitude because someone doesn't think like you, is closed-minded.
