A Bit Embarassing But...

[kevyn]

Anyone here into wraslin'. I'm interested to hear other's predictions for the ppv on Sunday. And yes I know it's not a real sport.

 

[rodentrancher]

Hey Kev , hi from South Australia. I used to love all that fake wrestling when I was a teenager(long time ago). What's ppv?? Used to watch the wrasslin on TV ev ery Sunday Morning back then

 

[Fuscus]

The winner will be a loud-mouth, even by American standards

 

[kevyn]

Unforgiven. Randy Orton vs. HHH. Usually I know how the matches will be booked ahead of time. I have a really good source. Indecations point to Orton winning and retaining, but I'm not 100% on this yet. I do know what's going to happen in the next Smackdown ppv in that mainevent. But not this one yet. I've heard it's pretty big in Australia.

 

[kevyn]

Fuscus I'm shocked! Are you suggesting that Americans are loud mouths? :wink:

 

[dobermanmick]

I stopped watching a long time ago but my fav was stone cold steve austin !

 

[kevyn]

Stone Cold got released a while ago. He seems to be unable to stop beating up women. Plus he's no longer physically able to perform any longer due to some sevre neck injury.

 

[dobermanmick]

I dont know much about his life just liked his antics on stage !

 

[kevyn]

Wasn't suggesting that you did. I too liked him for a time.

 

[dobermanmick]

Yeah no probs

What do you think of the Rock ?

 

[Guest]

"can you smell what the rock is cooking" "ya piece of white jabroni trash"

Go the rock, the only wrestler i liked.....He makes good movies now too!!

 

[kevyn]

In alot of ways, the Rock is the perfect professional wrestler. He's good in the ring, and great on the mic. He's an all round entertainer. Probably the best on the mic there ever has been. His character is awsome, and unlike some of his predicessors (ei. Hulk Hogan) he knows how to wrestle. Both is dad (Rocky Johnson) and his grandfather (High Chief Peter Miavia) were good too. I've never seen a movie he's done, but regardless, his true gift is for wrestling.

That being said I don't believe him to be the best ever, or even the best around today.

Sometimes it disturbs me how much I know about pro-wrestling. I've been watching it for over 20yrs. so that's my excuse.

 

[rodentrancher]

Hey Fuscus, Kev is a Canadian, not a Yank! there is a bit of a diff there you know!! I reckon the Canadians are a bit quieter maybe?? Cheers and :lol:

 

[kevyn]

We're like a loft apartment over a really big party. I do wish we could move the country though. I'm affraid our neighbours are going to get us all killed. Makes me nervous living so close to the U.S. .

 

[rodentrancher]

Yeah don't blame you Kev. Is BC near Alberta? I have a really good friend who lives near Olds.

 

[kevyn]

Alberta is right next to us. We're on the west coast. I was actually born in Alberta, in Edmonton, but I don't like to admit it. I grew up in Toronto, Ontario.

 

[rodentrancher]

Hey Kev! My friend Jane used to be married to a guy(rodeo) and lived on a Ranch near Medicine Hat She is an Aussie by the way, but with a Canadian accent

 

[kevyn]

Medicine Hat huh? Never been there. Cold as hell from what I hear. That's what I hate about Alberta. Way too cold. Alberta is the spot to be in Canada right now if you want a job. It's booming. B.C. is best though. It's so beautiful here. The Alberta Rockies are amazing, but I kind of think of them as B.C. . Canada's nice. If any of you guys ever head out this way and are in B.C., let me know.

 

[bigguy]

Kev, even though it is all fake, you have at admire the pyhsical powess of these guys. To even attempt to do what they can in the ring would kill a normal person... And their strength is just awesome. To lift a 300 lb man over your head like they do is just amazing. They are definately not true sportmen, but the best pyhsical stuntmen in the world.

 

[kevyn]

I would agree with you. It's fake interms that the matches have a predetermined out come and they try to minimize the harm. However tell a guy like Mick Foley that wrestling is fake.
