I have a feeling it will be about the kids signing up for their school wrestling team and injuring everyone trying WWE moves on them. EDIT: We could also see Sheila go nuts and try to ban wrestling. Somehow I get the feeling that will be in there too. So, a ripoff of last week's Simpsons episode where Marge was trying to get MMA banned from Springfield? Simpsons did it!  And as far as plot regarding the difference between amateur wrestling and professional wrestling, that was also the plot of a rather good King of the Hill episode several years ago. |

The Bat-Dad in the episode The Losing Edge was the first reference to wrestling.
He was using a lot Vader's catchphrases.
BAT-DAD FEELS NO PAIN!

So... Think they'll mention this on Raw? Given the possible content...not a chance. More of a chance Jerry McDevitt phones Comedy Central about it, and not in a friendly manner. |

Dude, Matt and Trey took on SCIENTOLOGY. That's a group with lawyers and legal teams who eat guys like McDevvit for breakfast, crap him out around noon, and then eat him again for dinner. They're not going to be afraid to spit in Vince's eyes. |

Oh, and this MUST involve Randy getting in the ring somehow. Randy Marsh vs. Randy Orton. Book it. Orton: It's only a matter of time...before I kick him...IN THE SKULL! Marsh: *drunkenly walks and enters the ring* *takes off shirt*...what do ya wanna do? what do ya wanna do? I'd mark. This looks EPIC. |

Miz "Hey kid, i saw you training, you look like you think you're pretty good, you think you can beat meee?"
Stan "no"
Miz "oOoOoO that sounds like a challenge, what's your name hotshot?"
Stan "Stan Marsh"
Miz "Stan Marsh...Stan DARSH is more like it"
I'm sure it will take a lot of shots at steroids, pro wrestler lifestyle, and all that. Hopefully they try to look at pro wrestling in a positive light near the end of the show, but i would not be surprised if they ripped it to shreds without saying anything positive. Im sure i'll find it hilarious though and i can't wait.

One thing I really love is how apparently they (Trey and Matt) are putting actual wrestlers/logos/etc in there, rather then generic cliche stuff... Yeah, they even got Edge's tattoo's looking pretty accurate. This should be an awesome episode. |

Honestly, I'm not expecting a lot of it if only because of how bad this season of South Park has been counting so far (including the first half). I'll watch and it could surprise me, but the show's nosedived the past couple seasons.

I'm thinking it's not going to rip into WWE too much, because they were using officially licensed merchandise, and likenesses of current wrestlers, which means they had to get permission first. The WWE legal department probably approved the script and the story, and it'll probably be a "don't try this at home" episode.

I liked three or four episodes this season so far: The Pirate one, Fishsticks, Pinewood Derby, Butters Bottom Bitch. |

It could have something to do with The pepsi center and the whole double-booking controversy since they live in colorado and when they were leaving the arena it showed The Pepsi Center sign. Here's the image of it right here, and it says Raw right there:  Feel free to make a sig of it if you like. By the way is it me, or is the Raw logo a little like the ECW one? |

As long as it's satire they pretty much can get away with it. |

As long as it's done as a parody they can use whatever trademark they want correct? And they have that little warning that comes on before every episode that says something like everything is just impersonated poorly or something to that effect...
I expect a Benoit joke somewhere in this episode....and I hope Randy tries wrestling...

I love me some South Park, and I obviously love wrestling. So, I'm excited as hell about this.

You know they're going to "go there" but I get the feeling it's going to be hilarious before they do.

That's awesome for Cena and Edge...I'm sure they would have done their voices if they were asked.

From the looks of it, it won't actually be about WWE at all. Because that looks like the VERY beginning of the episode and after the show they say they're joining the wrestling team. So I'm guessing it'll be about High School, Amatuer wrestling NOT being like Sports Entertainment maybe? Or where they take up School wrestling and either suck, or are really good. Granted I haven't seen the clip, but I'd say it's more likely they join the hih school wrestling team, think it's really lame and want it to be more like "real" wrestling, Cartman hits Butters with a chair or something. And as far as plot regarding the difference between amateur wrestling and professional wrestling, that was also the plot of a rather good King of the Hill episode several years ago. Knew I'd seen it somewhere |
