They're NOT wrestlers (that's what went on in Vision Quest) - they're WRASTLERS & that "show" (b/c it's NOT a sport!) appeals to lowest common denominator

If you don't think it's a sport, I challenge you to spend 5 minutes running the ropes in a ring. I promise you'll puke.

They perform amazing stunts. It's getting harder to out do themselves. It's takes athleticism for sure and a lot of sacrifice. Sport\Theatre \Entertaiment of sorts could be a more accurate definition.

Made for tv wrestling is not wrestling. It's "made for tv". This and the real sport wrestling are two different things

Nobody ever said otherwise. They are two different sports with entirely different physical requirements.

LMAO Clown boy blocked me because he couldn't make me mad. 😂

Not a sport. Fake. Staged. A performance requiring [some] physical fitness, but not a sport per se.

You have NO idea. At all. 😂

I invite you to try out at your local wrestling promotion then. Also, do you even know what the definition of sports is?

It's acting. Calling made for tv wrestling "sports" is like calling porn sports🤦🏽‍♀️

not "some" physical fitness. a LOT of physical fitness. and as some who trained to be a wrestler, i can say from experience that it's tougher than you can imagine.

Iirc MTV did a reality show about it with then-wwf, they all got beat the hell up. You have to be tough, for sure.

See, that's the thing, you LOSE in wrestling for "beating people up"... Don't call that shit wrestling. It's an insult to the ACTUAL SPORT...!!

and only once you are gotten your cardio up and got the basic down, then you get to do the moves. and you have to do it in a way that you don't accidently cripple/kill the guy you are wrestling. and you will be bruised and bloody by the end of it all.

Jesus Christ, blood IS NOT the goal in wrestling. All you're talking about is made for tv wrastling...

Ok. So do you know anything about pro wrestling or are you just going on outdated assumptions about pro wrestling?

yep. training various from country to country but the general vibe is the same: first, general fitness. then you get in the ring and run the ropes and learn to take a bump without hurting yourself. then you learn the basic: lock ups, whips, working a match, etc.

Yeah it was always needing to do everything specifically with the least amount of harm that seemed so dangerous. I watched so long ago, but tricks like the Hardy Boys & Lita did are always dangerous too. I had a carnie-adjacent acrobatic relative. Broke his arm in his sixties & wouldn't retire 💪

Don't listen to that person, they don't have a clue about wrestling. I know wrastling and wrestling are almost spelt the same. I've never been to a wrestling match that had ropes. Always a mat with a circle for out of bounds... Very rarely is blood ACCIDENTALLY drawn as that stops the match...

i wouldn't call them tricks but more like stunts. and it's something they don't really train you to do is the vast majority of wrestling schools. normally, that's up to the wrestler to see if they can do the spot. so some wrestlers like jeff hardy and darby allen are more use that stuff.

You're describing cage fighting not wrestling... I've got to wonder if you've actually seen a real wrestling match or even known the rules of actual wrestling... You ALMOST sound like you know wtf you're talking about

You're sitting here like "I've got to wonder if you've actually seen a real wrestling match" when it's fairly obvious to anyone with even a cursory knowledge of wrestling that you have no idea what you're talking about. 😂

STILL a TV production so sure 🙄

My bad, I haven't watched in decades. Thank you

but if you are truly curious about the ins and out of pro wrestling, you can ask me or the many wrestlers who are on bluesky.

don't listen to him. he knows nothing of wrestling. yes, it's produced for tv. but you still have to know what you're doing. you stride the line between making it look legit without hurting yourself and/or your opponent. trust me. i've seen some horrific shit happen in that ring.

If you trained to be a wrestler then you know they're not even close.

I did train as one. I got up to taking bumps on the matt and running the ropes. And let me tell you, my back was a bruised up mess.

I had bruises on my back from running the ropes. 😂

So is goddam porn but I don't call it a sport

I never said it was a sport. Just that it's far more physically punishing than folks like you understand. But what do I know? I'm sure your decade of wisdom and experience on the subject surely trump mine own.

If gymnastics is a sport, then so is wrestling.

NOT a sport!

Don't care. It looks as fake as Trump is.

Performance and sport are 2 completely different things. Olympic wrestling is a sport. AEW, WWE, etc. is Hillbilly Cirque de Soleil.

What about Olympic gymnastics?

I agree. Not a fan of judged competitions. Corruption favoritism and subjectivity.

Real af.

lol nothing gets you blocked faster than making fun of “wrassling”…

That's not a challenge & NO, I won't "puke", lamea$$ Worked WWF setting up lights & the ring in 1991+ ..... FAKE then & STILL FAKE (they'd PRACTICE the throws so, & hear this, no one would get hurt b/c ITS NOT REAL & ITS NOT A SPORT) Sucks when the no-info, lowest COMMON denominator chimes in 🙄

I blocked her. I'm not arguing with anyone who still has a period.

😂😂😂😂😂

Homo erotic preformers.

Oh fuck off. I'm as left as it gets. I like wrestling, not this MAGA company. It's a soap opera, it's entertainment. Get your nose out of the air. You sound stupid. Do you only watch nonfiction?

Fuck off yourself - quit trying to impress everyone with this "I'm not an elitist" sh!t & start recognizing that endorsing the moronic in society is NOT the way out of this mess - it was definitely the way IN, though! So take off!!

spoken like someone who knows dick about wrestling and what it takes to be one.

Spoken like someone who, for YEARS, has watched all the 'roided up, tiny dick a$$holes have dinner together & are best friends 🖕

Fyi, I also trained to be a wrestler. You wouldn't even get to get in the ring. You'd be sucking air before even seeing the ring.

The 'roids helped, right? 👍

Ah. Ad hominem attacks. How I missed you.

Not ad hominem attacks and learn the difference between fallacious & valid arguments ..... these FACTS are not an argument - it is eyewitness
