Jason Bryant Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 You guys probably forgive Hanoi Jane as well...One of these things is not like the other. The bitching between pro wrestling and our wrestling is a one-way complaint. We’ve wasted countless hours on that and no one is listening. It’s a way to make a living using your athletic abilities … complaining about pro wrestling is so 1983. 1 Insert catchy tagline here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems like a good way to put it. WWE is not athletics, which involve actual competition, it's a show, but like cirque du soleil or any other acrobatic production, the performers are definitely using their athletic ability in the show. "One of these things is not like the other." Exactly. Which is why it's not accurate to call the second activity "wrestling," which is defined as "a sport or contest in which two unarmed individuals struggle hand to hand with each attempting to subdue or unbalance the other." That's not what they're doing. It's not a sport, it's not a contest in any way. So the lawyers come up with World Wrestling Entertainment to try to get around this, but it's a substantial stretch to use the word "wrestling" in the title when they aren't wrestlers and they aren't wrestling.

Normal people understand this. Rational people understand this. Wrestling people incessantly complaining about the WWE is a one-way complaint … and a tired one. Calling our guys sell outs and such is more a misnomer and misdirected hostility than anything else -as are the positions people who hate the WWE take when trying to interpret their creative.

Agree not sure how that's productive. It's just a different thing. Steveson spending time doing something he's not good at when his body would still allow him to be transcendent at something very meaningful bums me out, but I can't see how I can blame the McMahons for Steveson's decisions.
