I do actually know what I'm talking about, as I've watched Wrestling a few times, and it's bascially Insulting to human intelligance. Things are staged from the minute it starts till the minute it finshes and why people pay to watch something like this amazes me. They might as well go to the Circus if they wanna see a bunch of clowns performing to an audience.

I have lost count to the number of times I have seen wrestling where the referee "accidentally" gets knocked out and misses the Vital count, but then makes a miraculous recovery to be there to watch the oppenent win.

I've also watched a programme where an ex wrestler exposed the tricks and flicks of the so called "Sport" and he even said himself those taking part are laughing at the people that pay their wages, as they can't believe people pay to watch such a spectacle.
Every hit is fake, and every move is rehearsed before the event takes place. Sure like you say people break bones, but that's only because something goes wrong etc.
People break bones in other contact sports such as Boxing and American Football but at least their injuries don't come out of trying to con people into pretending they are fighting and actually hitting one another properly.

I'll go back to my Home and Away and Eastenders nowy, that I've given you the truth. I prefer to watch those kinda things than watch Wrestling, as it's a lot better acting.
