Is Pro Wrestling a sport in your eyes?

You're kidding right? For something to be a sport there has to be competition. In Pro wrestling there is cooperation.

Are they athletes? Sure. So are ballet dancers, but is ballet a sport?

Pro wrestling is simply a soap opera played out by stunt men.

Actually Ballet is a sport, so is synchronized swimming, jogging, weight lifting, hunting and fishing.

Not in America

Those are actually all considered Sports, jogging if you take that as long distance running, has little to do with Pro-Wrestling though which is basically acting, no sports have predetermined outcomes.

I guess in fairness the fish and deer don't have any scripts and don't just jump into the bullets. In the others you are still competing against others trying to win the competition.

You watch Community bro? that's my joint right there, not to keep this Pro-Wrestling is a sport thread going I'll send you the answer T-bone.

So, five headed photoshops are real, aliens don't exist, and they don't because adam and eve said so.


Freak you're on a roll. Stick to content relating to "which fake chick is hotter than this fake chick".

As sick as this sounds I agree with freak on this. I think Pro Wrestling is a sport. U have to be a pretty good athlete to do it and I believe it is a competition.

I grew up a huge pro wrestling fan and I don't feel it is a sport. The guys are all athletes though. It takes alot to do what they do. You have to train, take alot of pain during a match, deal with injuries, and have charisma. I respect a pro wrestler just as much as any athlete in any sport.

I forgot to add a good one for Josh and Freak.

It is close but i will give them the benifit of the doubt and say its a sport. Although WWE has the perfect name Sports Entertainment.

That crowd went nuts when his music started and you saw his name light up . The debut of Jericho was great and I wasn't ever a fan of his.

Fuck no it isn't a sport. I can't believe it has votes. Its men in underwear wrestling around to pre-set outcomes.

YES! I had to see it five times. He hit him hard with it also. Dressed as a Doctor too. lol


One time at Louisville Gardens Jerry Lawler came out dressed as an old lady in a dress and asked Austin Idol for an autograph and beat the crap out of him. I was about 10-11 years old and we were like that big woman is fighting him. I didn't know it was Lawler until someone in the crowd yelled "That's Jerry Lawler!" He was hurt and hadn't been around for a few months and I would have jizzed myself if my nuts had dropped. One of those wrasslin moments I will never forget.

Nope. The others all involve competition. Ballet doesn't. It is art.
