When the way they're making fun of it isn't in any way accurate, it absolutely is low road. If they made fun of wrestling in a way that is legitimately funny and treats it like what it is(for example...well, Wrestlecrap), then I have no problem. But when it's "heh, heh, rednecks are the only people that like wrestling, how stupid are they, right?", yes, it's low road.

Thats how EVERYONE looks at wrestling fans, though. And lets be honest. Have you seen the majority of the people at WWE live events?

Sure, but it's the comedy version of low hanging fruit. Honestly, being a fan of the show I don't know if they'll go that route. It's not Seth Macfarlane here.

Whenever South Park makes fun of something (and this is just my opinion) they usually have their own unique spin on a topic.

I'm just glad they're at least trying to be current about the product.

If this was The Simpsons or Family Guy, they'd be going to the Boston Garden to watch Randy Savage wrestle Haystacks Calhoun.

Yea, that "Get The F Out" t-shirt is really up with the times! And did you see how rowdy that crowd was? I haven't seen a crowd so excited in years

That's fair enough, but still, you've got to be pretty defensive if you write off an episode before it even comes on.

Perhaps, but seems like from the rest of the thread that most folks are wanting to see them have some fun with Vince and the IWC. Seems more like the majority are willing to laugh at themselves, so long as it's a fair depiction.

Of course, right along with it is a CM Punk shirt that debuted like six months ago.

they always start the season slow,i love south park,i am surprized it took them this long to poke at wwe

[Ligerbusa]

The episode is now titled "W.T.F.".

NEW YORK, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- After attending a WWE match, the boys all
want to be professional wrestlers in an all-new "South Park" titled, "W.T.F.,"
premiering on Wednesday, October 21 at 10:00 p.m. on COMEDY CENTRAL.


The boys have found their new calling in life and they hurry to sign up for
the wrestling club. They soon find out the kind of wrestling they teach at
school is not the same thing they saw at the WWE. The boy's wrestling coach
has the same problem. He's been struggling for years to get people to see the
difference.

[Threadkiller [Classic]]

Sounds a bit like that King of the Hill episode where Bobby and Connie tryout for the wrestling team and do a worked match, and the coach asks "what are they doing?!" and one of the kids says "It's real wrestling."

Good times.

It was probably made before his death.

I may be wrong, but they take 4-5 days to make a South Park episode, I'm betting ya they are not even done with it.

They can make episodes that quickly.. but what most people reference for that is the election episode from last year where they basically made two episodes (one for McCain winning and one for Barack winning). Then they edit some tiny little tidbits about certain things in.. and poof.

But if it's Southpark.. I'm sure if there's a death joke... it's going towards Benoit, not Albano.

[ChitownKnight]

Not going to lie, it was a pretty good episode

[Lair of the Shadow MaDaBa]

And no death jokes.

Y'know, except for El Pollo Loco.

Leave the memories alone, Crazy Chicken. Viva la raza.

[happygilmore]

El Pollo Loco. Good s***.

I liked how they incorporated "The Guy from Fort Collins."...that along with Token looking like R-Truth and some random Rhyno signs in the crowd (please tell me I am not the only one who saw those) I thought the episode was OK. I'd say it was probably the worst of this mini season, which isn't an indictment as this season has been awesome, but I felt it could have been better. Still as I said an OK episode

[rrm15]

I'm dissapointed they didn't totally tear Vince a new one, lol. Theres sooo much to work with.

[MGH]

That was so good.

[EoE: Workin On My Night Cheese]

LOL at Kenny in the boxing headgear.

[Nuke is Good]

Its a good episode I got the jokes...its just I didn't laugh.

I know! All things considered, Vince got off easy.
