the reason people bash wrestling over other sports, is because wrestling IS pre determined. other sports arent.
i know it still hurts being thrown around, and i know theres still real risks. but it would be much more entertaining if it werent as choreographed.
To be perfectly honest, that's not true at all. In fact, most of the worst wrestling matches in history are caused by both wrestlers deciding that they want to win that night despite the script. Case in point, Goldberg vs. Lesnar at WMXX. That match should have been nitro in a washing machine, instead you had two 270lb monkeys attempting to outwrestle eachother. This resulted in about 10 minutes of arm bar, one Military Front Press Slam, one F5, one Spear, one Jackhammer . . . yeah real fun when they go unscripted!
Let's face it, we've all seen Joyce Gracie fight, it's as interesting as a snake crushing a rabbit for 2 hours. Practically nothing happens, it's the nature of unscripted grappling. Keep in mind, that they only have a few key manuevers that they script, much of what they do is done on the fly, even if they know who's going to win ahead of time.
And while you're making a quasi-valid point Mad Ax, you are showing some bad form by going off topic . . . please refrain from doing so again.
@ Cracker: You don't think Pro Boxing is fixed? LMAO Just to make things clearer, you aren't supposed to post about how you don't like wrestling, it's been mentioned twice, are you politely asking me to warn and or ban you? Because that's what it looks like. The next person to go off topic here will face a reckoning of titanic proportions.
On Topic:
Bout time Cena lost the belt, he served his purpose, to get JBL out of office. Cena is a good show, he's got some skill, and he's got plenty of charisma. I noticed, however, that he started talking more nonsense, stopped making funny raps, and basically did nothing that made him interesting in the first place about 10 minutes before his match against JBL. After that, he was all boring, all the time. I'm not at all suprised that Edge cashed in the "money in the bank" at Revolution. If you had a contract that let you screw the champ at any time to match for the belt, after the champ survives an elimination chamber match seems like an ideal opportunity.
As for the live sex on Raw, is it just me, or is Lita getting more and more pointless every episode? I miss her trying to ruin Trish's life. Now that Trish face turned again, it's unlikely that I'll get to see Face Lita trash the Dirty Trashbag Hoe anytime soon. Bleh.
I will freely admit that I'll be keeping an eye on Raw more often now that Cena's not champ. I wish he'd change it back to the old belt . . . "spinnas" are ten times as stupid on a championship belt than they are on a necklace or a freakin' car.
Not to mention, what the hell is next? A lowrider belt? A world heavy weight championship belt with ground effects? How about a women's title with neon glow underneath? Oh! I know, lets do a Hardcore championship with a momo shifter knob and a pair of fuzzy dice.
At least I got my US title back.
