WWE is just anime for rednecks

I will be taking no further questions.

I've been saying "drag for straights" for years. And I love it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

A lot of that stuff is genuinely heterosexual drag though.

I mean, I know drag queens spend a lot of clothes, but I doubt they spend as much as the average insecure manchild does on his truck and edgy bumper stickers and/or t-shirts. Some of these losers are so insecure they don't eat vegetables or wash their own ass.

Honestly makes me ashamed to be straight sometimes.

There's two types of people that watch WWE/AEW wrestling.

  1. Actual morons who think it's real.
  2. People who know it's not real but love the drama and stupidity.

They're hyper-masculine soap operas and kinda fun to watch, ngl.

Everyone I know that watches it is in the second group. Has there been any kind of study or survey on that? It'd be interesting to know what the actual percentage are

If there's a survey you can't trust, it's a survey about the kayfabe.

I think you underestimate how many liberals love wrestling

But they know wrestling is Rigged

If you don’t get wrestling, it’s worth checking out this video: https://youtu.be/VYvMOf3hsGA?si=DeKR6-1hCdb0HaNW

If the NFL was rigged they would be sued up down and out the ass by the sports betting companies. Don't these fools understand how self regulated supports are thanks to that?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Could you imagine how much more talented players would have to be if the NFL was scripted? I could just imagine last weekend a script writer going, "Ok, Purdy you're going to throw an absolute bomb and I need you to hit the defender square in the facemask. Then Aiyuk, you're going to dive and catch the rebound off your fingertips."

The coordination required to do that on demand would be off the charts insane.

With that being said, the Chiefs sure do get some bullshit calls going their way, like in last year's Super Bowl especially. But I think that's less of an example of the NFL being rigged and more like sometimes refs unconsciously play favorites.

I mean, just cause you want WWE's scripts doesn't mean you want actual sports to have those scripts too.

I thought the XFL made that clear.

(But yes the super bowl stuff is silly)

Oh man, that looks like a landing that would suck
