I am reminded of my friend who like most wrestling fans doesn't understand what is meant when people say "wrestling is fake."

I think the real question is, would wrestling be more or less idiotic if it was real.

you mean like Greco-Roman wrestling? Collegiate wrestling? No those aren't stupid at all in my opinion.

If by fake you mean choreographed then yeah, it is. The injuries these guys suffer from when things go wrong are definitely not 1000% fake.

It's entertainment. And anyone with half a brain should know it's fake because if it wasn't, the things they do to each other during a match would cause them to either be in the hospital or dead by the end of the match. I don't see why people feel the need to prove it's fake when it's 10,000% obvious that it is.

stupid? No. Gay? Possibly

Here's my proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsKtFcyVqfM 1:28-2:50

In my opinion wrestling is very real. In this specific clip one of the wrestlers just decided to become a bird mid way through.

If by fake you mean choreographed then yeah, it is.

What the fuck else could I mean? Seriously, you tell me...

Evidently you chose to ignore the rest of my comment. Go back and read it. It's pretty self explanatory. BTW, the comment wasn't directed at you, so not quite sure why you chose to get so defensive about it.

They're actually CG fighters and the transform into kitchen appliances in the sequel.

Duckman, seriously?
I can't believe you've been watching wrestling (I assume from your comments) and have not once noticed all the fanboys that are maintaining it's "100% real" - not choreographed, utilizing full-strength blows, etc. I've never been a wrestling enthusiast, nor do I live in a country that hosts this type of 'fighting' matches, yet I've met dozens of those morons.

I'm still not convinced

Jerry: What about the breathing, the panting, the moaning, the screaming?

Elaine: Fake, fake, fake, fake.

Yes, seriously. I did say "anyone with half a brain" didn't I? If those guys are stupid enough to not realize they aren't really hitting each other, they have bigger issues to deal with. Perhaps maybe they'll try it out on each other and it will be EIA for them.

[edit] I doubt you'll find too many wrastlin "fan boys" here on the sift though, so who are you trying to convince?

I've never met anyone who thought it was 100% real who wasn't retarded. That's what bugs me so much about people who object when I say "wrestling is fake." They know it's fake just as well as I do. They should also know I'm not saying it's a goddamn illusion or that it doesn't exist or that there isn't athletic ability and some pain involved. All that is real but it's still fake as fuck and about as interesting as watching my nephews playfight (with bonus added homoeroticism).
