Are they passionate persons of wrestling here?
The American World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)? The amazing Mexican "lucha libre"? Who watch WWE SmackDown and Raw ?

My favorite is Rey Misterio for his amazing streams (especially, for connoisseurs, his finisher the six-one-nine)


Look this:


Another special wrestler, The Boogeyman:


And The Great Khali (2m20 for 191kg... ):

I think he needs to get rid of his make-up and his outfit. Then he should get a haircut and after that he should call his mother and tell her that he's going to the unemployment office first thing in the morning.

Those wrestling scenes from the WWE are so obviously choreographed. That didn't stop me from being in thrall of The Rock back then. When I was in school, our classroom sport consisted of executing the people's elbow on hapless friends while the teacher's back is turned.

Admittedly, I no longer follow the fortunes of these wrestlers. Chris Benoît did make backpage headlines recently for his tragic suicidal move that ended in the death of both him and his family.

Yes, I think that today wrestling (especially Mexican lucha libre) became an "artistic sport". I can deny that I discovered this, with a Ps2 game named: SmackDown vs. RAW(2005).

The Chris's suicide is strange...
The most funny is the WWF president Vince Mc Mahon who few day before the tragic death of Chris Benoît, feigned his death:

I agree.

Walker & Liz:

No fans of wrestling, both of you? Well, count me in!

Irrintz:

I am loath to even call wrestling a sport- mass consumption entertainment, maybe. It is not like boxing where it has more drama and spontaneity. Witness the recent showdown between Ricky Hatton and Jose Luis Castillo at Las Vegas - this is what I call a real martial sport. Hatton prevailed finally in the fourth round and it now sets him up with Floyd Mayweather and he is no pushover.

In fact, boxing can even be regarded as character building. Just as long as they don't do a Mike Tyson and start biting each other's ears off.

Wrestling wouldn't be bad if it were about wrestling. These clothes, make-ups and masks are ridiculous (sometimes frightening, though).

That was pretty serious. I can't imagine whence someone gets the inspiration to bite someone's ears off. I would never do that, even if I were very very hungry...

The Rey Misterio's masks, I think is only a "Mexicana lucha libre's tradition".
