wrestlers themselves admit that ! I have read a Small Show' s interview and he
said that sometimes the organizators tell him to lose ( or of losing ) against
wrestlers who are still smaller than him. Still, I have some problems to believe
that a buried alive man can go out from two or three meters under the ground and
win a fight ! But, I have spent a good timewatching Undertaker-Kane even if
I think thatmy chances of beating Vitali Klitschko would have been better
than Kane's chances of beating the Overtaker...|

wrestlers themselves admit they are told to lose? What next? No Santa Claus?
I think a buried man can win just as easily as anyone else in
Professional wrestling.All joking aside, the athletes are very good in
the wrestling game and even if the matches are staged, a lot of the stunts they
do are real and injuries do occur. I hope the wrestlers who do get injured in
the ring doing their shows are taken care of medically and finacially and when
they leave the profession. But my feeling is they are probably not any better
treated than their boxing counterparts. That would be a shame as no wrestlers,
means no wrestling shows and no money for promoters like Vince Mcmahon.|

re right, some wrestlers show great skills ( for instance Ray Mysterio ). A
picture with me,Small Show and Coolidge would be cool !|

moment that the late great Archie Moore, could imagine or visualize any
scenario, where Jerry Quarry defeats Rocky Marciano? |
|3/23/04 01:32:11 PM|Fran|Philly||plc7755@aol.com||||10|Yeah I think Archie
Moore saw the talent in Jerry Quarry, (how could he not) as far as beating
Marciano who knows what he thought, but one thing is for sure he wouldn't have
said it would have been an easy fight for Marciano. Jerry in a 5 round Brawl as
he is to fast slips and counters and to much movement. Marciano can't hit him
and Jerry is fighting like Frazier 1, Shavers 1. |

long time ago, we went to a pro wrestling match. It was fun! The crowd was as
interesting as the wrestlers. An awful lot of these guys were good athletes in
other sports first, and it shows - these huge men executing amazing acrobatics,
not to mention ballet-like quickness throughout the matches. Sure, things are
choreographed and all, but they ~do~ get hurt for real, what with all the falls
and other shenanigans.I read recently that the ones with the super
bodies who stay around a long time are on the juice big time (duh!), as well as
a never ending cycle of pain medication for injuries. They evidently think it's
worth it when they're younger, since the stars make a lot of money, but the
after shock of all the drugs and body destruction might make them think
otherwise when they're older. |
|3/23/04 04:57:50 PM|Massimo|Quanto sei bella Roma !How beautiful you
are,Rome||4||||10|RS- If wrestling was real, there would be
severaldeaths in the ring, more than in boxing. When a 6' 10 " or even more,
400 lbs or even more guy like Big Show jumps on your back, you' re not injured,
you are a little dead ! Even Andre' the Midget, as short as he was, was huge and
incredibly strong and would have killed a man at lunch and another at dinner.
Actually the risk is that the wrestlersdie for the drugs, not for the shots
!|
|3/23/04 06:00:23 PM|Roadscholarette|Windy City||RS||||10|Of course there would!
These guys are behemoths, and most are unbelievably strong as well. Even a
little kid jumping on someone can knock the wind out of them, and the jumps,
slams, kicks, and other things are way over the top for what a body could stand,
if they were real. The punches and forearms are the funniest though! They
clearly don't land, but when we went to the match, "punches" that obviously
didn't land, or that couldn't have cracked an egg sent the crowd into a frenzy!
