Can someone please explain WWE to me?

I believe there are more suitable & pleasurable forms of media for that!
Not that can be watched while sat with a 5 year old boy and your wife

Do you go to the Cinema to see a Movie and complain that the actors really didn't get punched in fight scenes?
and if they did, they have stunt doubles for that... do you see wrestlers with stunt doubles? no. They do all their own stunts.
I reaally don't get the "omg its fake" arguments. Its a form of entertainment. Do you go to the Cinema to see a Movie and complain that the actors really didn't get punched in fight scenes?
Mind you, if you went to the cinema to see hours & hours & hours of men in tight pants wrestling with each other (ok, and the occasional token women!
), then..........

Weren't all 80's action movies pretty much that? Stallone, Arnold, Van Damme all half naked with oil smeared all over their rippling muscles.
I mean, the scene in predator with Arnold arm wrestling is pretty much a muscle worship scene with the close up on his bicep. uh.

But insulting women, bleeding all over the place and giving birth to hands (Attitude Era check, check, check) don't make anything adult.
In a way they have had to come back from all the madness that they used to do. You can't keep topping yourself every week. At WM last week I was shocked when Undertaker took a chairshot to the head but that is a GOOD thing.
To paraphrase Jim Cornette, they used to pretend to hurt each other and the people thought they really did. Now they really do hurt each other and no-one believes them!

Reminds me of the glory days, listen to the crowd
Edit: in the entrance and around 20 mins in I mean
Small venue for a Wrestlemania! It's been over 10 years since I paid any attention to WWE, but I guess with MMA becoming a recognised sport and exploding and them buying out all their main competition, they were always going to have a tough time keeping it as popular as it once was. It was sort of like a real-life, slightly ridiculous beat 'em up, which was why I used to enjoy it, but it seemed to run out of ideas, they had too many crap performers, and I preferred seeing people lay into each other for real (UFC 1-5 on NTSC VHS lol).

That video was of a recent Raw, announcing the Rock as guest host of WM. That is maybe why the arena seemed small!
They only do stadiums for WM now, at least for the last few years.

I see it as gay porn for those deeply set in their closets. Big sweaty men in kickers grappling each other and all that.
Is that how you see it? Because I don't. Maybe you're feeling insecure about soemthing? Want to talk about it?
