Don't get me wrong here, but aren't you a bigger dude? How does 3-5 beers even give you a buzz?

Funny how they call real wrestling "amateur" and that fake WWE **** "pro" wrestling. What a joke.

Yes. Still doesn't make it any less stupid. You grow up training your whole life to dominate your opponents by your will and abilities only to graduate to the big one, the pros... where your fate is predetermined and scripted. Now if that isn't a giant buzzkill to the competitive, gritty, and hard working wrestler, I don't know what is.

You do realize how pro and amateur wrestling work right? A lot of the guys in WWE didn't do "wrestling" in highschool or college. The reason the pure form of wrestling is called "amateur" wrestling is because you need amateur status to compete in the Olympics. The Olympics being the fabled "big one" where people can dominate their opponents with their "will" and "abilities" you speak of.
If you're signing up for pro wrestling you know what you're getting into with script and predetermined fights. However, I wouldn't say your fate is decided. The most popular one wins right? What's stopping the average pro wrestler from being more popular?
You know Swervin, I don't mean this in a mean way, but you seem rather close minded. You come in here and literally argue semantics over wrestling that you've probably never watched more than 60 minutes of.

Bro it's not scripted. Jon Cena could easily take Cain Velasquez in a no-holds-barred match.
I absolutely LOVED WWE as a kid. Freaking loved it. Who cares if it's scripted, it's meant to just entertain and entertain it did. They've softened it up a fair bit these days but there are some memories you just never forget. Example: Edge and Lita having sex in the ring. Good times.
Me and my buddies got pretty heavy into wrestling on the trampoline. We would film it and everything. Most advanced move we ever did was the Canadian Destroyer... which IDK how I didn't break my neck.

I used to watch a ton of wrestling as a kid. Stopped watching at 12/13 years old when I found out the ugly truth, that's it's all fake and scripted. It legitimately ruined it for me.
I don't like wrestling anymore, but I won't judge if someone else does. I'm actually fairly open-minded in that regard. I'm not going to force someone to conform to my vendettas or interests. Sure, I can be stubborn when it comes to trying different things or looking at other views of the same issue, but I'm not some completely isolated and close-minded freak here. I just hate certain things and that's just that. I'm not gonna let someone bully me into liking or hating something I hate or like.

I can't believe you let it ruin it for you. 90% of the action is real, just not some of the kicks and punches. Even then, wrestling for me will always be a cherished memory that something like it being scripted can't taint. I remember watching every monday night raw with my brother and dad. Then my brother and I would wrestle in the basement.
I'm not trying to bully you into liking or hating something, and I doubt many others are. My point was, in most of your rants, and even some of your posts, you seem unable to see the other side of the story. It's cool to stand by your opinion and wholly believe it, I respect that. I just think being set on opinions is the wrong way to look at things, especially at the age of pretty much all LLer's.
Don't you want to understand why someone else value's something so much? Don't you want to question your knowledge? You shouldn't have a mindset of "I just hate certain things and that's that", and you shouldn't be so stubborn when it comes to trying new things or looking at other views.
The mark of an educated mind is being able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
