I just discovered that Americans watch people pretend to fight, and not only that, they actually pay for the privilege to do so. Are there any documentaries on this strange phenomenon?

Bentley Rogers
Lincoln Ortiz
I just discovered that turd worlders have internet
Gabriel Sullivan
Did you really? Me too. I wonder if there are any documentaries regarding this.
Colton Thompson
It’s popular in Canada, Mexico and Japan as well
Ethan Green
Bongs and the Japanese are even more obsessed with fake fighting, if you can believe it. Oh and Pajeets too.
Christopher Gonzalez
This
Dominic Mitchell
boxing and UFC is just as fake.
Jackson Hernandez
Oliver Nelson
Fascinating. I wonder what the reasoning behind such a strange, pointless societal interest is.
Nolan Gutierrez

I just discovered that Eddie Guerrero was raped in the Summer of 89
Caleb Clark

watch these videos to understand. And this dude isn't even American. I don't even care for wrestling but its obvious why people enjoy it. It is modern greek tragedy. And you may think thats sad but whatever take it or leave it after watching these vids.
Jackson Phillips
Wait till you get a load of the bongs.
They've had a show running since the 60s, and it's just a pretend town of people living fake lives. Pretend working, pretend romancing, pretend fighting.
Bongs actually pay a license to see it, as well watch adverts during breaks.
Nolan Wright
Wrestling is the capeshit of broadway.
Aiden Hughes
claimed by the way
Sebastian Ward
Oi mate - you telling me that Eastenders ain't real?
Nolan Reyes
thats a good drawing user
Easton Carter
>watch people pretend to fight
so capeshit?
Jason Morris
Haha lol, I can’t imagine paying money to see someone pretend they’re someone else, doing something that’s not real. Who does that rofl
Hunter Williams
Camden Carter
Pajeets believe it is real though, not sure if that makes it better or worse.
Christopher Baker
They're beginning to suspect.

WWE produces a lot of documentaries about its performers.
Jordan Cook
Watch the documentaries Beyond the Mat and Wrestling with Shadows (both highly kino). It's a type of theater in the round.
Bentley Wright
it's action theater, doesn't need to be more deep than that
Anthony Sanchez
Beyond the Mat
Wrestling with Shadows
The Rise and Fall of ECW
Benjamin Johnson
If anyone wants to understand the appeal of wrestling, watch Nakamura vs Ibushi from Wrestle Kingdom 9.
Liam Cooper
The floating La Parka in the corner makes it hard to fap to Scarlett.
Austin Powell
Would rather watch Nakamura vs.Styles at Backlash, circa 2018 desu
Carter Johnson
fuck off Edrone
Josiah Murphy
That feud was a chore to endure. At least the Last Man Standing match was good though.
Christopher Adams
This is horrible
Thomas Phillips
Is it true about Styles' backstage prayer group? Did Seth Rollins really try to break it up?
Colton Myers
Theres a film with the Rock in it called 'Fighting with my Family' which delves in to the appeal of pro wrestling albeit from a British perspective.
Yeah it's 'pretend fighting' but so is game of thrones, star wars, lord of the rings, that's all pretend fighting too. Criticise it for being bad entertainment, not the nature of it being pretend fighting
Dylan Smith
Can't stop. Won't stop.
Aiden Reyes
Because it’s highly spectacular. It’s kind of like theater for certain types of people.
For example, I don’t watch wrestling or UFC but would much rather see the former because I find UFC boring
Justin Sullivan
I'll be the first to say that even the concept of wrestling is stupid. However, late 90's wresting into the early 2000's was kino. In retrospect, Vince was the best of them all. The writing and characters were great, and him making an ass out of himself in order to entertain people when he already had so much money and didn't need to was top notch.
Isaiah Foster
somebody's gonna get pinkeye
Jason King
>cheers guy getting body slammed onto thumb tacks
>dog gets scared of some fireworks
oooh no not the heckin' good woofer!
Dylan Bailey
Most wrestling fans stopped watching once they realised it was fake and gay. I remember being a child in the 90's and thinking "okay this part is real and this is fake" with certain matches.
Now the only people left watching are fucking nerds
Blake King

Zachary Anderson
How is this different from a play or movie?
Brandon Smith
Creme of the crop
Brandon White
Matthew James
its like a combo of theater and anime
Bentley Davis
Wrestling in general is pretty stupid but some of the earlier events where American wrestlers would fight Japanese fighters or euros did inadvertently become real fights. They went through the prefight routine and then went in and tried to beat the living fuck out of the other person as a matter of pride. Then you've got that weird 6 months where Vince went insane and started having his fighters MMA fight each other. IIRC Bart Gunn won, and got a semipro fight with Butterbean and got knocked out in 15 seconds and that was the end of it.
Brody Green
Cameron Moore
stone cold would booty blast butterbean

Wrestling was kino during the Stone Cold era though. Crazy shit like Owen falling into the ring and Mankind being power bombed through a cage still happened, and the McMahon vs Stonecold feud was the greatest thing on television at the time.
Plus the liveshows were incredible because afterward Stone Cold would just start drinking and hanging out with the crowd and doing funny shit.
There are absolutely no live entertainment events like that anymore. Imagine a millenial or zoomer celebrity hanging out with their fans for free after a show or game.
Hudson Baker
Gabriel Turner
we're not allowed to watch people really kill each other in a ring anymore
Jacob Gonzalez
Pay to watch people to pretend to fight? Like all action, boxing, and war movies?
