Wrestling. Why do you all love it so? Before you go all defensive and "GO THE F*** AWAY U MORON IF U DNT LIK IT DONT POST" etc etc.
I'm simply curious as to why you enjoy watching it.
You know it's fake.
The most stupid of people can instantly spot that.
The acting is the most diabolical attempt at entertainment ever. It's just so obvious and corny.
And they're all semi-naked. And try and look hard and stuff.
Please, by all means, spill your guts to me as to why you like it.
Because I just don't see how people can.

But my point is, is that it *frequently* looks fake.
I was just hinting that possibly, by now, they wouldn't look so dodgily... dodgy, after all the practice.
Ah well, it doesn't matter - I was just curious.

Cong Man's history lesson no.1
In the early days of travelling fairs and circuses, most of the shows put on would involve a bout or two of what has become known as 'shoot' fighting, or in other words legitametly beating the living daylights out of each other. Some of the participants in these fights realised that after a while, they were getting so beat up that they couldn't perform every night and therefore would not earn a wage. Many of these competitiors decided to get together before the fight and 'predetermine' the outcome, as part of this new way of thinking, they also dercded that they didn't need to necessarily beat each other senseless as long as they looked as though they were.
Thus, professional wrestling was born and much of this 'pre-determined' talk was 'kayfabed' or kept secret as the promoters who made money out of it thought that it would damage the appeal if the people knew the guys weren't legitametly beating each other up.
Fast-forward to the modern day and the 'internet' fan. Nowadays we all know that what we are watching is an athletic spectacle, if not a legitamate fight. Does anyone care? Mostly not. We all enjoy watching this 'sport' for whatever reason.

Yep i'm working on watching as many tv shows and going out as much as possible :-D
Ah that's cool. Gap years are always fun if planned, unless your working that is. Well have fun.
Just taking a year out from school to go travel before going back to University to get my teaching degree and then i'll go to Japan after that.
Is it your job that takes you all these places? Or are you just travelling?
Ohhhh lol Not in the near future no. I'm going to America in April so after that, who knows?
