Yes thw WWF is fake, but it is entertainment and is based squarely on storylines rather than performances in matches. Look beyond the fake over the top action and you will find an engrossing production that has as many twists as ....mmmmm.....something very twisted up!!
In some sense it is predictable but there is always a twist in the plot you never expect.
The WWF pulls you in a plays with your emotions, disappointment is a fave among the storywriters!!
The wrestlers mix comedy with serious issues. Austin has become comic at this stage in his career, how humiliating it must be for anyone who dares speak on the show and be barraged by chants of "what?"! The Rock knows how to get the crowd on their feet, and Y2J and Kurt Angle really know how to play the heel card.
Watch the WWF, but don't watch it as a wrestling show but as an entertainment production that mixes emotions, full on action, comedy, excitement and loud music in one package that has made it so big across the world!
If you want an intelectual evening watch open university, if you want a fun couple of hours watch Raw/Smackdown. Okay the plots are wafer thin, but there a re normally a few matches to keep you entertained and you can always ogle the ladies!.
For real hardcore wrestling I suggest you pick up old ECW tapes/dvds as they have all the violent athletic displays the WWF wouldn't dare show.
Why not give the WWf a go. Its not a scientific or mensa type sport, it is purely entertainemtn and if looked at that way should hold your attentian for a while.
I have been a fan for over 12 years now and show no signs of lettiing up, I enjoy the storylines, half the fun is predicting the next move the writers have, watching old pros beat guys who should slaughter them and observe newcomers getting their lessons on life in the WWF.
If you want to see violent sports watch hockey or something, if you want to be amazed at how a man can fly through a table and get up unscathed watch the WWF.
Give it a chance and you never know we migt see you in the front row of a Raw with a banner in hand declaring yuor love for Vince McMahon???
Fair enough, if you think it's boring .... and I respect that. But use lot here don't think it's boring :o).
So that is why the wwf is worth watching you never know what is going to happen!
