I would like to know if their are any other wrestling fans out their. I know some people won't call it a sport, but I believe sport is part of it. That is why it is called Sports Entertainment. I am a big fan of the WWE and get every PPV when they are on.

WWE is stunt work not sport. Very good stunt work though.

I used to watch alot of WWF back in the mid 90s. I loved Bret Hart, Owen Hart, British Bulldog, Yokazuma (the huge sumo wrestler), Big Daddy Cool Diesel, Shawn "The Heartbreak Kid" Michaels, Undertaker (and his fat buddy), the guy that dressed as a woman, Jake the Snake... many more.
I have some great memories of Royal Rumble and although I knew it was fake, being younger it was more entertaining. I stopped watching wrestling when this group of wrestlers moved out and the newer group moved in (rock, stone cold steve austin etc.).

I used to watch wrestling when I was 11 because I didn't think it was fake. Then I got smarter and realized the plots were stupid, and the fight's winner could be predicted, and that the referee's had to be dumb as a post to not see what was happening. Then I got fed up with it.

My daughter used to watch it when she was young, she is 13 now. She was
really into it for awhile, about age 5 & 6. She doesn't watch now at all. Her
favorite was Sting, she had posters and the games on PS & Nintendo.
When I was young I used to watch the likes of Rick Flair, Wahoo MacDaniel
and Andre the Giant :crazyeye: :blush: . Some really funny stuff back
then :lol: .

Everyone should know that Wrestling is really a soap opera for Guys. I know that the results are fixed and that acting is part of the show, but that's why it is called Sports Entertainment because it part Athletic competition and part Action. Still I just love it because it is mindless entertainment that is fun to watch. Why do people not complain about their favourite TV shows, because they are just as much scripted as any wrestling event. Why is that so?

Uh, well, I though that by "wrestling", you meant real wrestling, like in the Olympics.
Not Catch and WWF...
