Seat68 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Advice please. Thinking of putting wrestling on for my grandson. Is it suitable for a four and a half year old? Would you allow a child of that age to watch the perceived violence? I think it will be fine but my wife thinks not.

If you wish to subject your grandson to watching oiled up men in pants rolling on the floor together, so be it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen it for a while but it's not that violent any more really. They don't whack each other in the head with chairs these days and aim for a PG audience. I probably started when I was that sort of age when Hulk Hogan was around. It's probably a better example of good vs evil than having to read bible stories at school if they still do that these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 AEW game being developed by Yukes was officially announced yesterday with some very brief footage. If they can walk back the mistakes of the WWE2K franchise all the way to something like the more arcade-focused of the SvR entries , it could be great.

I bought an N64 recently for the nostalgia and I could remember the controls to No Mercy like I'd never stopped playing it. Such a great game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Wrestler brodie lee/luke harper dead at 41 due to lung issues not related to covid. Really sad news. If you read how the wrestling community is reacting to this it really is a hard one for them to take. So sad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I guessed, probably like most people, he'd been off TV for some undisclosed injury, or a break or something. But this, jeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjackle Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 So sad to hear. Listened to a podcast with him on the other day and he sounded so happy. He is the same age as me with similar kids ages too. Really shaken by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its really really sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I saw a clip of him talking about his family a while back, saying he has all his figures abs stuff to leave to his son (I think it was son) as mementos. He cried talking about being a good dad. So sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 AEW have signed his son Brodie Jr. to a contract. Now because he's 8 years old he can't work for the company yet in any real capacity, but once he's 18 he'll have a job waiting for him. The whole outpouring of love for Jon Huber/Brodie Lee has been heart-warming, but even more so is just how much AEW are helping out. AEW have committed to financially supporting his family. It's incredible what is happening right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingsombrero Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 The tribute show AEW put on last night was so sad but it was beautifully done. Wrestling often struggles with this sort of stuff because of all the weird rules and constraints it puts on itself. Thankfully AEW threw all that out of the window (hopefully for good) and produced a genuine and touching tribute to the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro Wrestling wouldn't be pro wrestling without it. Unless you mean exclusively in these tribute shows, then yes there's no need for it then.

Zatman Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Its extremely sad, I dont follow wrestling like I did but I know his face from clips and stuff. The tributes seem so heartfelt as well and trying hold back tears at time, good on AEW for supporting the family (on a side note, Its a good business move for them as well because wrestlers will happier to sign if thats how they look after talent because Vince gives nothing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You look at how they did it and it just made a lot the weird shit you'd just accept previously (not acknowledging the existence of other companies etc) stand out. Even the fact they dedicated the whole show to him and just pushed everything back a week. It was the decent thing to do and unfortunately that's a pretty rare thing in wrestling.
