People on yt (who are always accurate from what I hear) are calling this Thai WWF? I don't understand what it has to do with the World Wildlife Fund but O.K.

Hehe. WWF in URL.

I've definitely seen this on old school WWF wrestling. I can't remember which wrestler did it though.

Funny you should use that comparison...because I do consider the WWF to be a con-game. Possibly because I was raised by people that honestly believed it was real.

I'll pull back my statement if it turns out that they don't claim this to be real...I don't believe I've ever actually heard one of these guys make a statement that it is, or is not just an illusion.

Only if you consider WWF 'wrestlers' con-artists. I see them as performers. Maybe I'm wrong and they claim it's all real (well, so do wrestlers when in character), but it's not like you can't see the guy pressing against the drill with his hand instead of his head. It's not as impressive as they 'claim', but is still impressive for what it actually is (well, some of it is, some is just totally silly, like wrestling).

Absolutely. I don't mean this in the WWF sense of "fake," but certainly in the sense that the players are obligated to fight as part of the show, know this, and don't really want to hurt one another. They're cooperatively putting on a show to get the spectators riled up. It's not stage fighting, but it's not real fighting either.

The main point regarding this video is that two men of that size and athleticism in the same situation, were they not holding back almost entirely, would kill each other in short order. Even so, I'd agree that they're hitting hard enough so that they're risking unnecessary brain damage over the longer term, which is why I think it's cruel. As they say about boxers: it's not the big hits that do them in, it's the accumulation of all the little hits.

Of course, there is a part of me that likes the fights too, but I personally would prefer ice hockey without them.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone speak with their satire the words sympathetic fans know to be true. The self-deceived embrace with emotional fervor causes with ulterior substance and authentic sell-outs invest in the causes and become spokesmen for their keepers.

Anyone who aligns themselves with any cause sponsored by UNESCO, UNICEF, RED CROSS,WWF, United Nations....Beware of cunts. Check the list of all UN organizations- IMF is one of them. Might as well join a private club, elitist assholes all.

I'm only five minutes in and it's so obvious to me that BillO is not a conservative. or if he is, he's conservative light/moderate.

you don't go into a comedic/light hearted, fun event like this if you're a die hard true-believer.

This is a political WWF, it's staged entertainment. I'd say the only difference between this and the news is that John/Bill don't hide it.

I saw Hulk Hogan. Hulk Hogan? WWF/WWE is sports? Nope. It's theatre.

They're using guns in wrestling now? Wow, that sport has changed.


Probably the worst sequence Stone Cold Steve Austin was ever a part of. Good thing he made up for it.

I have one friend who, when we were younger, if he encountered any pain at all, would literally go into WWF-style histrionics, flopping about on the ground, covering his face and kicking his feet. I still get intense douche chills when I think about it, and it was more than 20 years ago.


Right there with you on that one.

My friend's son does that.... but my friend's son is a year and a half old.

I've always hated, especially as a little boy, when little boys get hurt due to their own stupidity and immediately start screaming/squealing at the top of their lungs. I never did this. If you were alone, would you be screaming like that? No. It's communication when you do that. If you're communicating, you're not that hurt. So shut up, take the pain, and use your brain next time.
