OT: Wrestling gone wrong

[husky429]

No, it's not. Been there.

If you're going in there expecting some kind of athletic event with a great story line and entertainment, you'll be disappointed. If you go there to drink bad beer with your friends and scream bloody murder at grown men in essentially drag beating the crap out of each other, you're in for a good time. It's hysterical.

How can you not like this?

Raja Jackson wasn't even supposed to be in the ring. He jumped in from the seats. And Smith is in stable but critical condition. I think Jackson is in big trouble.

Oh yeah, he's in big trouble alright

There is a brewery in Fair Haven called Armada Brewing.
There is a wrestling school in East Haven.

Evey now and then the school does an Exhibition in the parking lot. Ring is set up, wrestlers enter from the brewery's brewing area. Its a lot of fun. I went once. Fans jeer, wrestlers yell back. For the most part, the moves are slower and timed but they have fun and for the most part, looks pretty good up close.

I am not totally anti violence in sports person because in my youth I watched a Friday night fights, Sugar Ray Robinson, And then the great era of Frazier, Ali, Foreman and the rest. Boxing can be pretty brutal but aside from the entrances it is a sport requiring skill and supposedly steroid free, but this wresting business where it’s steroid massive bodies, predetermined outcomes and props whipping crowds who are yelling for blood into a frenzy is entertainment? But those guys are in less danger in the match generally because it is fixed. And those “wrestlers are going to pay a massive health price in later years for using those drugs. Does WWE do steroid testing? JMO. And boxing ALWAYS has refs to shut it down when a life could be at stake. MME is technically less dangerous than boxing because of less repeated head strikes.

This wasn't wrestling it was a livestreamer with an MMA background jumping in the ring to murder a wrestler.

Yes, a huge amount of wrestlers use steroids. Same goes for boxers, MMA fighters, football players and basically athletes in every other sport.

Mic drop!

... the next cat Raja, and, apparently the promoter (based on recent reports) should both meet in prison is a Fleece Johnson, aka Booty Warrior, for an escalated taste of their own BS sucker-punching predatory medicine ... Jelly or Jam?

Rocky beats Apollo Creed & Clubber Lang early on ... but he "ties" with Thuderlips & USSR Ivan Drago

The time period(s) may have changed, but the messaging through the decades, unfortunately (imho), remains the same

Don’t agree with that. I expect that in legitimate sports they are at least urine tested. WWE is not even a sport.
