    Any pro wrestling fans here?

    It's a bit of a guilty pleasure for me though I very very rarely watch.

    Life would be infinitely more interesting if Randy Orton really did run around RKOing people at random.

    Would keep you on your toes at least.

    Yes; It's pretty much a family thing as most of us watch it(even together if someone's visiting at the time).

    Wait, on the show or irl? The latter really would be entertaining...I know plenty of people who need one actually.

    Silly you, I doubt it because nobody watches it for that... :laugh:

    It was...alright. I mean, nothing wrong with shirtless guy flexing and stuff, right :grin:? My brother was a fan, thus I became somewhat familiar with it. I thought John Cena was kinda cute :S :lol:

    That surprises me. At least the mainstream of US pro wrestling had been rather homophobic until very recently.

    WWE is becoming more and more liberal. They openly praised and supported Darren Young when he came out as gay and as far as i know most if not all of the wrestlers said that is was never an issue of Young being gay to begin with

    True, but then a few years there was the whole Chris Kanyon thing.

    and pat patterson which he was openly gay for quite some times, even before the "televised shock". it tells me otherwise because Darren Young isn't really getting booked into matches, on live television. Chris Kanyon wasn't given much of a chance, Orlando Bloom who was openly bisexual, was thrown out. call me crazy but i think WWE is a bit homophobic and racist. of course they didn't mind but they seemed a bit hesitant to say that while they answered.

    to answer your question, yes I'm a fan. Goldberg makes me drool, but technical skill wise, i think Seth Rollins, Kenta, Dean Ambrose, Bret Hart, Undertaker has a good place that i can say are pretty awesome wrestlers, there's more but i think those are the ones that stands out

    BRAY WYATT is my man... He's so creepy I love it
    and I like Dean Ambrose..... and Paige she's super cool and I have to mention she is totally hot.

    But yeah I only open about my love of it to a few people... maybe I should come out about it a bit more....

    Jericho!




    I used to really like professional wrestling, as a kid. I remember bits and pieces, of the late 80s, when "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Jake "The Snake" Roberts, were running around. But the time I remember most, and enjoyed as much, was the Attitude Era, which dominated the mid-to-late 1990s. Back when you had three major wrestling promotions: WWF (now WWE), WCW, and ECW.

    If I had to give a Top 5, it'd go like this:

    WWF/WWE
    - Chris Jericho/Y2J
    - "Macho Man" Randy Savage
    - Mick Foley/Cactus Jack/Dude Love/Mankind
    - Kurt Angle
    - "Stone Cold" Steve Austin

    WCW
    - Eddie Guerrero
    - Raven
    - Diamond Dallas Page
    - Rey Mysterio Jr.
    - Chris Benoit (again, despite what he did, he was a tremendous talent)

    ECW
    - Sandman
    - Sabu
    - The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray & D-Von)
    - Psicosis
    - Rob Van Dam

    Ring of Honor
    - Jay Lethal
    - The Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark)
    - A.J. Styles
    - Daniel Bryan (back when he was here)
    - Antonio Cesaro (back when he was here)

    Divas
    - Christina Von Eerie (independent)
    - Paige (WWE)
    - Lita (WWF/WWE)
    - Natalya (WWE)

    I used to love watching Raw and PPVs, but after The Shield broke up, I got distracted by other stuff. But I'm planning on getting back into it soon, if just for Bray Wyatt, Paige and (hopefully back soon) Daniel Bryan.
