Professional Wrestling (Hover)
There is a very realistic version to wrestling called, ( I forget) but it is held in a cage and the fighting is real - no acting, no insults, just real men using real martial arts skills. In the beginning the winner was a Brazilian Judo champion, but I am not sure who it is now. He used to grapple men to the ground and then put them in holds. I know in some parts of Canada and the USA it is outlawed.
I guess they see it as too violent.
Here, they have the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). I have seen a few of these shows live. They are mostly acting, but some of the injuries are very real. Like that one wrestler who would come down from the rafters in the concert hall and made a fatal error and died during the show. They do try to plan out every move and wrestling match. Shady and I used to watch it quite a bit, until they moved the show to a cable channel. But while watching the show, we could actually see the wrestlers talking to each other. They were letting each other know what the next move was, so they could be prepared for it.
The WWE also has what they call, 'cage matches' and they are too bad. They used to have the 'cage matches to the death'. Where the sides of the wrestling ring were lined with barb wire, but I don't think they do those anymore.
I enjoy watching wrestling I think that there is to much acting and not enough wrestling lol. But I think that alot of it is fake but I have seen them get a little carried away and someone really do get hurt..
hey JB the wrestling that you are talking about is called Extream wrestling and yea that wrestling is way to violent I have sit and watched it a couple of times..

its all an act and bad acting too |
Wrestling as it is, is a bunch of lame actors who cannot get real jobs pretending to be all that.
It is in fact nothing more that a male Soap Opera, they first of all need to put some clothes on, second of all actually think for a moment about the stupidity of what they are doing and then get a real job.
Like everything else in america it seems to be about useless entertainment and making big money...
If you really like werstling as a sport, and want to see it done safely as well as professionaly then Olympic Wrestling is where it is at...
These wusses like Hulk Hogan and his ilk are washed up never beens and has beens that really need to get a life!
