axemen madness

[easy-lift guy]

Sadly people in this part of the world seemingly can not get enough of this crap day in and day out. And yes as another member has stated reality tv is fake, however I will take exception to professional wrestling. I once had an American History teacher in the 9th grade take exception to my conversations with my buddy during her lectures.

It seems that we were on thin ice and the resentment between us was growing by the day than during one of my verbal sparring matches with the teacher somehow the conversation turned to Professional Wrestling from Florida, with the likes of Gordon Soley who hosted dozens of wrestlers who were to become in future years named celebrities.

Seems that the teacher was not only a fan of professional wrestling I for reasons I was not aware of at the time volunteered to have my fellow class mate performe the figure four leg lock. This wrestling hold is not only not fake, if given enough time and torque can break your apponents leg if given the chance. Well after about 2 minutes and to the delight of the class the teacher Mrs. Brower called for a break and saved my leg from a trip to the hospital. Although we never got the chance to demonstrate any other wrestling holds we finally had something in common with our teacher and ended the school year on good terms and grades as well.

I was just watching it, I remember the early series were quite interesting but everytime I see it now it's just arguments and every little incident is exaggerated.

 

some of the companies in the early shows were 'sited by osha'

or "cited by OSHA", what for, safety violations ? I bet their payment for the programme more than covered any fines.

Have to agree with easy lift on the wrestling comment . It's now classed as ' sports entertainment ' anyway now . . so there is no pretense . Brock Lesnar IMO was the greatest athlete the world has ever seen , a 300lb freak show . I was reading the other day about the ' Alaskan Bush People' , apparently 100 % bs , this was from their neighbours in the village they live which is in a normal house , shop at the grocery store etc . The TV company rent a piece of ground nearby and off they go couple times a week to film ..

Bit like "professional" wrestling, sadly there are people out there that believe in it.

 

 

Yes, like 98% of the American population.

p ing myself. I can remember giant haystacks having a go at my mate in a car park years ago, my mate was 6ft 7ins and haystack towered over him, massive man that could do you a lot of damage, but come on the wrestling is more like Hollywood acting and as I believe they were all had an equity card as do all actors/actresses

Hahahaha!

Do you remember some old dear beating Haystacks with her handbag?

The whole front row used to be made up of clones of the Giles granny.

Don't remember that, it was probably stage managed as well: sitting watching (believing) these vicious battles wouldn't anyone think to themselves: why is there no injurys/cuts/blood. They were a good crack though, les kellet,royals,that kamikaze bloke all on at 4pm Saturday afternoon before the footie results. jesus, im old.
