So after the first punch, the cop is standing over that guy on the ground, holding his head and getting ready to punch him again when Suit-Dude steps in and puts himself in between the cop and the guy on the ground.
Thumbs up to the guy in the suit.
I'm thinking more of the crowd should have surrounded the guy in the green shirt to protect him. In fact, that seems like a very reasonable tactic when violence breaks out from the police...if as many people as possible non-violently surround the person being attacked with their backs to the police. They'd have to arrest a hundred people for obstructing justice and then justify in court how preventing violence constitutes breaking the law.


Very good...they probably have some classes at their park for dealing with police but I doubt everyone takes them or it's completely uniform. It's probably more about passive resistance rather than active nonviolence.

That could be an interesting class...Active Nonviolence 101.

EDIT: As taught by former WWE Wrestlers!

U mad?
I bet you wish you could souplex me into a pyramid of soup cans right now! Then I'd know wrestling isn't fake, or something, right? Plus it would be equivalent to Shakespeare!

Wrestling is far more fake than movies or TV.

Exactly how is that Einstein? It's based on a script, just like movies or TV. It has acting. Just like movies or TV. It has choreographed/scripted fights just like movies or TV. So tell me how it's "far more fake" than movies or TV.



LOL. No I'm not mad. That comment ranks up there with some of the most ignorant things I have seen say on the web. "Wrestling is more fake than TV or movies". LOL

I have to reply to this. According to YOUR logic, we should all just eat McDonald's or NASA food-paste all the time, rather than steaks or natural foods. And we would all be gourmands. It's all food and one should never be on a high horse, right?
Some people might like to eat McDonald's from time to time, or all the time in some cases. The honest ones will admit that it's shit and is not in fact a steak nor does it have any of the potential of something not so rigidly bound by shitty material, shitty standards and an isolated context, etc. And the people who NEVER eat McDonald's are quite right when they say McDonald's is SHIT FOOD even though they're not trying to insult or feel superior to the people who eat it.
So, relax. Wrestling is idiotic. That doesn't mean I think you or any wrestling fan is idiotic. That's just your ego (and possibly your stupidity).

"For those who say that wrestling is fake."
But, wrestling IS fake. Why does every wrestling fan argue a straw man against this point? We're not saying "wrestling is a figment of your imagination" you [name-calling is bad]. We're saying there's about as much point to watching wrestling as there is to watching little boys playfight in the front yard. Except I'm pretty sure watching my two nephews tussle is less brain damaging.
Listen, wrestling fans: We REALIZE they're actually jumping around and stuff. We're not accusing all wrestlers of being robots, or holograms. We mean the FIGHT IS FAKE. We realize it might hurt to do some of those moves. Those FAKE moves.

Then using this logic why match movies? We KNOW they are fake so there's no point right? Guess what? The story is fake, just like wrestling. The acting is, well fake just like in wrestling. And the fights in a movie? You guessed it, FAKE! JUST LIKE IS WRESTLING! Get off your high horse pal. It's entertainment! If you don't like it, then don't watch it. But don't look down your nose at those of us who do enjoy watching it because you're no better or smarter than we are.



Wrong. That's not anywhere near "according to my logic" sorry to say. Where did I say we should all watch wrestling all the time? I said some people like to enjoy it and we that do don't need pretentious ass holes looking down at their noses at us because of the form of entertainment we chose to enjoy. One man's trash and all that.

I never said it wasn't crap either. In fact I agreed that it was fake and pointed out that it's no more fake than the movies and TV shows every one enjoys. I don't need to relax. I'm sick and tired of all the jerks on this site who think they are the quintessential "experts" on what type of music, movies, TV shows, etc is/are good or worthy of their godlike attention and everything else is crap. Just because YOU don't like it doesn't mean WE ALL have to not like it. Say you liked dub step for instance. I don't really consider that music. But you don't see me going around pointing it out every time someone posts a dub step music video on the sift, do ya?

I also find it hilarious how everyone rails on how fake wrestling is, but fake fights in movies and TV are perfectly OK to watch. Makes no fucking sense. All wresting is is bad skits with bad acting and some fake movie/stunt fighting. Some of us like it. We as fans KNOW it's fake. They (the wrestlers) KNOW it's fake, and they (the wrestlers) KNOW that we KNOW it's fake. But part of the fun is seeing how good at FAKING it they are. Nice move insulting my intelligence. Class act you are.

No you see what most wrestling fans are arguing is the use of the term "Fake". It is incorrect, a more correct term would be "Scripted" because that's exactly what it is. Wrestlers have the injury reports to prove it, it's simply like ballet or a play with fighting in it. I mean you don't look at Shakespeare or Cirque du Soleil and say "FAKE!!!" because it's not...they're actually hitting themselves. Only occasionally do they miss...and then it's a gif and everyone says "FAKE!" when that's not correct...it would be like saying when a boxer misses he's faking it.

They will and do whenever they go and put on show's for our Troops.

Love to comments from the photographer. He went from "YOU SUCK!" and "SHUT UP, THIS IS THE SAME OLD SHIT" to USA! USA!! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!


John Cena is a very divisive character in the WWE. He shall we say...breaks the flow of a play. Say if Hamlet started being well adjusted and awesome halfway through...no one would know what the Fuck was going on.

Stay classy WWE....

Regardless of this, I like TNA because the McMahans have absolutely NOTHING to do with it. They ruined wrestling. I'm not going to watch this as I haven't seen Victory Road yet. I'll vote tomorrow if I feel the same as you.

I do have to agree to some degree that they need to step it up. I have seen lots of obvious mis-queues and such during matches that even a 5 year old wouldn't miss. But I still prefer them to WWE

>> ^bamdrew:

maybe an odd thing to point out, but anybody else notice the 'aljazeera' just blocks out the whole bottom of the screen (over other news agency's logos). that doesn't seem kosher...


Maybe that's by request or something? I know in Australia the tv stations block out ads at the bottom of the screen for WWE Broadcasts. It's kinda weird but whatever.
