It all really depends on who's doing what. You have wrestlers who can sell the silly shit as just pure fun entertainment like a cartoon, and you've got some that can't. Like I said, it's like an old B-movie. You just sit down and suspend disbelief for two hours just to have fun.

So, it's like reading Dean Koontz a little bit? Once you work up a willing suspension of disbelief it's actually an enjoyable book on tape for a road trip or something?

I'll try anything once. If I were to watch one match, what should it be?


Well, like an form of entertainment, there are genres of wrestling. You have the old school wrestling using acutal classical wreslting moves with a bit of flair. You've got hardcore matching involving barbed wire and fire. You've got the high flying Mexican Lucahdores and Japanese wrestlers. And you've got assholes who can't wrestle and pose in the ring for fifteen minutes. And there are those that are mixtures.

Check out our Wrasslin' Media thread or just look for random stuff on Youtube. Old 90's era ECW, as Sik said, has a lot of good stuff. I also like some of TNA's current product, though some of it gets silly and stale too.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.
