re: Anyone surprised that grown men still watch WWF wrestling?

Always get confused when people say it's not real. The fighting and outcome are all choreographed, but the hits they take are very real if they don't fall right or if a move is botched.

Just last night there were three incidents:

1. Undertaker taken to the hospital with a possible concussion and neck injury.

2. Billy Gunn taken to hospital after he started coughing up blood at the conclusion of his match.

3. Randy Orton fell on a monitor during the table spot, and you could see his back bleeding and swelling up.

The show is fiction, but the action can be very real and pretty dangerous if/when accidents occur.

Hi there, Mom. Hope you and yours are well.

on topic..uh, wrestling is staged.

Something tells me as the seats go up, the level of education drops. And that could be said of any major event that 75k people attend

---

So you are saying as the price drops only the poor and uneducated get the cheaper seats?

IDK, I like being able to stand the entire game. I like the last row of the top.

I would put money down that the pop for Stone Cold and after Bryan pinned HHH were two of the loudest moments in Dome history, and I have been to many Saints games.

I was the one who was quoted saying it was the loudest crowd I've heard in the Dome, and I stand by it.
It was very loud at certain parts. The entire place was chanting Yes, Yes, Yes in unison. Lots of points were super loud. I don't know what the attendance was, but yes louder than Hartley's kick or Gleason's block. I wish there were db readings at all events.

Same here, though it is viewed as a troll statement by those who just don't have a clue how much of a frenzy people get into during certain events.

Could have sworn they said 76,165 at the start of the show

Definitely wish there were dB meters in the Dome so there could be some kind of ranking. I would say the block and kick have to be the top two for the Saints

no, just no. I was there last night and was there for both aforementioned events.

A normal noon kickoff regular season game is louder than last night.

outside of tropical isle last night around 1 am was an epic chant-off between i assume British people and Americans

they were chanting on Yaya Toure , "you speak our language", all the wrestling chants, like it was a whole group from Manchester...

Yea I was apart of that. It was great.

I know it's scripted, but the Hell in the Cell with Mankind and Undertaker was the best match in history.
List of injuries

Undertaker:
broken foot

Mankind:
Multiple lacerations, one large enough to put his tongue through
concussion
knocked out
broken ribs
two missing teeth
multiple stitches below his lip
dislocated jaw
bruised kidney
and a dislocated shoulder.




I'm sure this hurt too

I'm shocked that anyone of any age watches any of that.
