TV/Movies Megathread

Actually appears to be a lie. I'm sad.

That is what BB said when he thought more deeply about wrestling.

I said I was deep into wrestling, not that my thoughts were deep.

I did say there was a more intellectual way to enjoy wrestling if you were so inclined.

And when you thought more deeply (intellectually if you will) you realized it was a.... oh never mind.  Carry on with your intellectual ways.

I actually got into it when, as an articling student, the junior lawyer next to me (a corp securities guy) was a fairly big fan.  He even grabbed the firm luxury box and a few of us, together with some clients, for a taping of WWE Raw.

How...luxurious.

How...luxurious.

We had catered food and imported beer while we watched rasslin'.

A friend of mine who owns a law firm in Florida is a HUGE WWE fan.  He goes to a few events a year.

In fact, at one point he had some WWE wrestlers as clients for some reason or another.

This video explains it well: "Wrestling isn't wrestling." It tells the story of one of the most influential and popular characters, Triple H, but replaces all male characters with good looking young women: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYvMOf3hsGA

If they replaced the burly muscle-men with hot chicks, it would indeed be a more entertaining product.

A friend of mine got me interested originally. He and a few others run a small promotion in North Germany in their free time and every once in a while they get an ex WWE star for a show.

Could we set up a separate thread for adults to discuss why they are into entertainment for teenagers? Thanks!

[Habbaku]

Can we set up a different forum for you to post in?  Thanks!

[garbon]

We did do that before.

And it's still up.

Didn't they do that in the late 90s?
After I stopped watching sadly. Though I would have been too young to care beyond "tee hee hee boobies".

Female wrestlers apparently have it pretty bad.  A friend of mine in japan is married to a guy who is a wrestling journalist (she likes him for other things).
I recall once hearing from her about how all wannabe lady wrestlers must,  at their own expense, pay for plastic surgery and large implants.  Which means for those who don't make it.....

Hot chicks, like the ones in Syt's clip, not burly muscle-women.

I am sure he meant this....
