"I think wrestling is pretty pathetic............"

well i do. What is the attraction of a bunch of blokes acting out a load of fake "fights" which are so heavily scripted as to make them look utterly ridiculous. Their is something distinctly camp about some of those rubber suits. Right, i also think that the storylines are crap, what level of realism can be acheived by a bunch of blokes screaming "you've been with my wife" even though you rarely see anything off the outside world in it. Now the merchandise is even worse than the actual event its self. wrestling games are the height of boring gaming as they are very static and too be quite honest hastily put together with little thought about it as they know the fans will accept it as they are delude by the image (ahem wrestlemania 2000). Now the discussions people have about it, and hang on everybit of the story line.....or ask what happened last night....or what moves did they do....i've got it on video i cant wait to see the rock to the people's elbow for the tn millionth time (even though it is comparatively lame compared to many other moves, and looks far from cool).

I am afraid to say it is utter w@nk and i see it as my duty to persuade you towards things of better taste. I don't go with the argument that it corrupts children and makes them overly violent, but it is just utter mindless crap that is poorly churned out to entertain those who have little imaginationand are prepared to accept utter rubbish

Please explain why its good.

I find it to be very slow and boring and there arent very many moves for you to do.

Im not saying its bad because of the graphics......

The gameplay was just too slow.

And I dont like Smackdown's speed either, too fast.

Thats why Fire Pro Wrestling is the game for me.

How?

It wasn't hyped, most people didn't know anything about it (those who didn't buy the WCW versions)

I bought it because it was "the next WWF game" and at first thought "urgh, what the heck is this?" because it wasn't much to look at. Then the genius of the game came through, and I realised just how excellent it was

Its entertainment for us that watch it.

If you dont like it, dont watch it. Simple.

That Wrestlemania 2000 game did let me down a bit though......

I'm sorry but Wrestlemania 2000 is one of the best games ever

And yes, some people think wrestling is poop, but others don't. It's the whole - you say to-mart-o, I say to-mate-o debate (had to spell that out since it doesn't really work when just reading it)
