Stevo985 Posted April 8, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted April 8, 2011 I don't know. It's possible they think it's just theatre/entertainment and they enjoy the athleticism of it in the same way you would go to the circus and watch performers. Either that or they still have the mind of a 10 year old Do you think tv shows or films are real? If you see a fight scene in a film do you watch it just for the athleticism?! It's just like watching a soap. A soap that you can go and see live and cheer at. People get excited and involved in the storyline for things like Eastenders or Coronation Street, but no-one thinks it's real. I don't watch it (although I did when I was a kid) but have no problem with people who do. I just find the whole "but it's fake" argument strange. People don't watch it as a sport. They watch it as a soap opera, whether they admit it (or realise it) or not. People don't say "Coronation Street is shit, it's all fake!" Fair enough if you think it's shit, it's understandable. But I've never understood people's fascination with it being "fake". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 And I got sick of adults asking me if I wanted to be a train driver when I grew up.Pff, the tracks drive the train. You just apply the velocirator and the deceleratrix. Precisely. Good job if you don't have a family to feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your arguement doent convince me...it's ghey. Soap's are based very loosly on real life and events that could happen. When in real life have you ever seen 2 men in spandex pants have a fight in the street? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 8, 2011 Moderator Share Posted April 8, 2011 People don't watch it as a sport.Well that's an assumption that we're discussing. I say some people do actually watch it as a sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't understand people's fascination with the fakeness. I assume it all comes from when the Wrestling industry kept up the charade that it was all real away from the ring.

Eames Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 If Pro Wrestling is generally gay then MMA is just gay p0rn. Two oily men trying to fling each other to the floor and then mount the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted April 8, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted April 8, 2011 As opposed to the jam & ketchup the wrestlers use? Please dont tell me you think the blood on WWE is real? iirc it is. It's something called 'blading', wherein the wrestler uses a concealed piece of razor blade to cut themselves (always in the forehead area as this is considered the safest place). I researched it for a short story I wrote once, and it was also shown in the movie 'The Wrestler'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 WWE/MMA are both fake in their own ways. Yes WWE is scripted, but the bumps they take are real, the blood is real (generally caused by slicing open the forehead with a razor blade) MMA is scripted in that you only see the fights that Dana White wants you to see so the best fighter doesn't necessarily become champion or whatever. And you can't deny that two topless oily men rolling around the floor is anything other than a bit ghey. I'm not an added watcher of either, but given the choice I'd rather watch the wrassling. I supose its my prefered brand of coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMA - 2 guys beat **** out of each other till one is ko'd or submits. WWE - 2 blokes throw each other round a trampoline and pretend to hit each other, the winner is decided before the match and the 'fight' sequances are rehearsed beforehand.
