Buffalo716 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Went with my nephew to Monday night raw last night Downtown And it was very entertaining I’m not sure how it sounded on television but the crowd was insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Nothing like muscle-bound, oiled up men wrestling to a script to get the blood pumping, eh?! Eh? I hope fun was had by all. 😘 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleezoid Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I used to watch occasionally. I got away from it because sometimes it looked like it was fixed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 14 minutes ago, Gregg said: Hmmm. Maybe this is why no one seems to ever get a concussion or be seriously hurt when a table gets broken over their heads. Not that anyone is suggesting it's not fake, but if guys this big and strong were actually FIGHTING for real and doing the stuff they do, these guys would be crippled rather quickly. I went through a phase where I loved pro wrestling, probably around when I was 10-12 years old, then I outgrew it. I have no idea how adults watch this crap, and actually get into it. But if it's what YOU enjoy, then have fun with it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Anyone on here blasting pro-wrestling but rushes out to watch Super Hero Movies may have to take a step back and see the hypocrisy. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritBill Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 My son went through a phase of watching WWE religiously when he was around 7-9 years old. It culminated in us going to see RAW in Manchester. He grew out of it pretty quickly. I enjoyed the live shows (WWE Live as well as the episode of RAW) but that was mainly due to Mickey James being there.

Gregg Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I am not a wrestling fan, but I have to give credit to Vince McMahon. He turned it into a billion-dollar business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I grew up a huge wrestling fan during the 90s heyday(ok so 93-95ish was actually pretty bad but as a kid I didn't know any better) but eventually grew out of it. But it was always one of those things I like from a Nostalgia standpoint. I don't follow it now but would occasionally go to the live shows in my 20s with friends who were also "wrestling guys". I haven't been to Raw in probably over a decade but thinking it would be fun to take my nephews now when they get a little older. Were there any Bills players in attendance?

Orlando Tim Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I am too lazy to look up the details but I do love the fact that the WWE admitted it was all scripted when they discovered they could make more money through tax breaks by being a scripted show vs an actual sport.

Not at the table Karlos Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Went with my uncle. Overall it was entertaining and had a decent time. But holy cow the commercials, replays and the however many different cams they would do. Dx cam, you can't see me cam, universe cam, we need to fill 5 more mins cam. Felt like we went to the arena to watch a show on the jumbotron at times. 51 minutes ago, BillsPride12 said: I grew up a huge wrestling fan during the 90s heyday(ok so 93-95ish was actually pretty bad but as a kid I didn't know any better) but eventually grew out of it.

Looked where they normally sit and didn't see anyone. Don't recall them being shown on tv either which they normally do if they're there.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Marangi Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I like listening to wrestling shoots from the old timers from the 70s and 80s. Some crazy shite went on in those days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I went through a stretch in college or so for about 3-5 years that I watched a lot/followed WWF. It was probably during the most prime years (about 1999-2002-2003). It was great entertainment. It is/was fake, but man those guys took risks and put their health on the line. Many wrestlers died young or are disabled to some degree. That isn't fake. ECW was also ridiculous fun to watch late night on Empire Sports Network in the mid 90s. It got super repetitive and predictable though and I got bucked off. I have tried to watch it a few times in recent years, but I just can't. It is very bland, very stretched out, they play it very safe, etc. I think my 10 year old kid may get exposed to it soon, we will see if he drags me into it for a stretch. I went to an indy promotion in the fall at riverworks. That was really awesome. Its cheesy, sleazy, and all that... but that is what is great about it. Go with friends, pound beers, get into it.... and its a riot. I have a friend who is a pro wrestler on Canadian circuits and he does amazing stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are episodes of wrestlers that show their rise and eventually decline in the business. Those are some pretty interesting shows. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
