I was going to go, but I didn't have the money to afford tickets. I haven't watched wrestling for years now, but its good brainless fun :)

hehe spook is cool ... took the day off just for summerslam!
I was tempted but caught the replay at 6:30. The PPV wasn't great considering summerslam is one of the the big 4. But the crowd made the show :P Anyway wrestling is awesome, if you dont take it seriously. Also endurance and fitness wise, you'd struggle to find better athletes from any sport in better shape. |

i turned off watching wrestling when mick foley retired for good. but yes finding athletes in better shape really is hard, considering what they put themselfs thru. for a good look at the pain and s*** that goes with the show read mick foleys auto biography. its a good read.

Nah, wrestling sucks. There are perfectly good real wrestling sports out there - why would you watch a fake one?
a) You like watching big burly oiled men hug each other b) No, seriously, its not fake, they really get hurt c) Its just 'entertaining'! Who cares if its not real. |

If you werent being so naive, you would know that wrestling isnt 100% fake, is being hit of the head with a chair fake? Jumping off a 30foot cage to the bottom and almost breaking your neck fake?
Yes, it's an entertainment, just like rugby or soccer. |

Nah, wrestling sucks. There are perfectly good real wrestling sports out there - why would you watch a fake one? because real wrestling is boring, have you watched it before?. a) You like watching big burly oiled men hug each other Its a tad more scientific than that! the matches are scripted and chereographed all tied in to a storyline (99% of the time). The athletes are trained pros and are good at what they do. Also their not all men, there are women wretlers. b) No, seriously, its not fake, they really get hurt Yes, they do *really* get hurt, neck and back injuries are quite common .. |

Also their not all men, there are women wretlers.I'm not denying that there's no skill involved - you only have to look at the dudes to see that they obviously work their asses off to get so buff. I just can't figure out why you'd watched a scripted sport, when you could watch a real sport, with real skill. |

I just can't figure out why you'd watched a scripted sport, when you could watch a real sport, with real skill. This is best answered with another question. Why do you watch a scripted TV show, like Star Trek, Buffy, Law and Order, or even Neighbours? Wrestling isn't scripted sport, it is a scripted TV show where the characters are athletes. Don't try to compare it to watching say football or cricket, compare it to watching Home and Away or CSI. |

Yes Kurt Angle won Gold in Atlanta 96 greco roman wrestling then went to the WWF now WWE in 2000.
I went to WWE global warning in melbourne, it was the best show!, 60,000 people packing out telstra dome... i got photos with triple h, brock lesnar, the rock, edge, val venis(playing xbox against him), randy orton, dvon dudley, maven, paul heyman, playing xbox against dvon, michael cole, rey mysterio, kurt angle, hurricane helms to name a few... i am not going on saturday night, ive lost interest in the wrestling.. if this was a year or so ago and they were in brisbane i would be the one starting this thread. Altho i wouldnt mind fotos with the bastards.... also, on the thurs nite in melb b4 the sat nite show i was in Odeon ( club in crown) and busted my groove with stacy keibler!!... everyone was in there that night.. Test is one huge bastard. Im pretty tall, but test.. he is absolutly huge!, rikishi is a fat c***, jericho is small in height but massive.. and stacy is f***ing hot!. Michael cole was tuning an asian bitch on the dancefloor... softcock. |

Its like a giant soap opera, where the characters pretend to beat each other up. Dude, everyone knows its fake, its not like you're breaking anyones bubble here. Doesn't mean it can't be entertaining. You know what? Stargate is fake too! Mcguyver doesn't really travel through a wormhole to other planets and fight evil! But its still entertaining. |

IT WAS WTF AWESOME.. they were just a little too far away for my dads s***ty camera to get any decent pics.. but it went ORF.. RVD came through the crowd outside and everyone just rushed over to him.. i tried to get a pick but some f*****s head got in the way.. the chicks were hawt.. gstring hrmm.. my dad's G/fs son was a f***** and annoyed the f*** out of me with his high pitched voice and lame arse called like "kurt angle you're domesticated" what the f*** is that.. me and dad looked at him and said "just stick to you suck"
but all in all it was an awesome night.. i wish i was into the wrestling a little more as in still had pay TV so i could keep up with what was going on would've rocked more IF: they had the rock stone cold and goldberg :D also so many wrestling nerds everyone looked weirrrrrrrd |

Wasa great night - a few too many freaks running around outside the ring for my liking, but hey - it takes all kinds..
Best matches were definantly the two tag matches & the main event.. The dudley's rock (no tables tho :( ), RVD, rey-rey & Booker rock.. Even paul heyman, who I think is a twit was entertaining, although the chump he was managing is a boring Brock lesnar wannabe... Also was interesting to see them in the flesh (so to speak) & see how tall/short they are without the camera angles to make them look bigger... Still - fantastic night out, would definantly go again if they ever come back to brissy (and would probably pay for the front-row seats next time).. Just dirty that a) they didn't show the action on the big screens b) No big show c) the low-life c*** who stole my program... |

Two funnies of meeting the stars.
RVD - As soon as he got inside hotel he asked "wheres the closest subway" 2hours later he came back we 1 1/2 subs. Spike - Put stuff into room then went out, came back with shoes from shoobiz. Thought these were funny at the time. Angriest person of the day award goes to UNDERTAKER, never ask him for a photo he'll choke slam ya. |
