Absolutely amazed at this point that there are still people who think the mat is like a pillow, all the weapons are made of foam, and the blood is all capsules or ketchup packets. Jesus, the internet, people-this should be common knowledge to everyone over the age of 5 now.

Im having a debate with a guy right now on youtube. He commented on the vid of Cena rap battling a "fan" (Ken Doane) saying
I responded...
To the very classy retort:
And then I replied...
And then HE replied... (this is getting kinda long)
So yeah, thats what we're up against.

I remember commenting on a Youtube video showing one of WWE's old "Don't try this at home" messages, and said that people who say it's fake should be tied to a chair and forced to watch it 100 times.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
People that feel the need to make a point of, or convince others that it is fake are former fans that once thought it was real and had their heart broken when they found out it wasn't. Now they feel the need to get "revenge" on pro wrestling by letting others in on their shocking knowledge that wrestling is fake.

And then HE replied... (this is getting kinda long) So yeah, thats what we're up against. The f***ed up thing is, most wrestlers probably could kick that guy's ass. Even the jobberiest jobber, the lowest man on the totem pole, the guy who has lost every backstage shoot fight he's ever been in, has been trained to handle pain a lot better than the average person. Furthermore, all of those "fake" moves can and would really hurt like hell if legitimately applied. The "wrestling is fake" people don't bother me so much anymore; it's the "they're all legit pussies" people that piss me off. So, you think Santino Marella is a pussy? Step up to him. Challenge him to a fight. Even Hulk Hogan, who is practically crippled and pushing 60 years old, could knock out a normal-sized guy with a well-placed punch. Oh, and I might come from a long line of them, but I am far from a redneck. You can feel free to copy-and-paste that to your YouTube debate if you feel so inclined; otherwise, just take it as my two cents on the situation.

I hate when people like to use the you know it's fake routine....It is like really you don't say well why don't you go find one of them randomly and tell them it is all fake and see what they do.

I know people who literally think it's so fake that "any idiot could do it". I hate people like that.
Sadly, most UFC fans I know have that kind of attitude about pro wrestling.

Back in September, I was at my aunt's house for a BBQ and since she has satellite, I was watching Raw on East Coast time, which was at 6 o'clock over here. Relatives of mine (And these were kids, by the way, like 9-12 year olds) were all yelling "FAKE!" left and right. I almost felt like chucking the remote at their faces.
Also, when I tried to give them the comparison to TV shows and movies, they tried to be smart by saying "Movies are more real than WWE." One thing my little cousin said really pissed me off was this: "You know, I think when someone 'dies,' I don't think they really die. I think they just want to get off that stupid TV show."
I could have ignored them if I could. They kept on yelling "fake" left and right and it got annoying after a while.

I knew someone who seriously thought the steel chairs were made of aluminum similar to this: And after Vince showed up after his "death", my cousin (who was about 9 or 10 at the time) had to ask me if Eddie Guerrero was really dead or not.

Wrestling tries to trick people? What in the blue f*** is this guy talking about?! Are people these days unaware of the concept of "suspension of disbelief"?

i dont get how so many people can think wrestling is "fake", but when someone gets dropped on their head then its an 'accident'. then i said 'explain them getting hit with chairs?' his reply? "its the other side that doesnt hurt........... " WTF. then when we were on lunch and spanky was on price is right. i said 'holy shit thats a pro wrestler!!' he said and i quote "that guy's too small to be a wrestler" IDIOTS. those people are the same ones who talk about seeing king kong bundy and hogan when they were like 21 at their local arena, also midgets......but a 5'10'' guy is "too small" to be a wrestler

The people who talk about Wrestling being fake....who's opinion are they trying to change? Yep, there is that. The people who basically say ---> I don't understand it so therefore it's lame and you are stupid for watching it.

I just know those types of people make me want to hit them in the back of the head with a shovel just as much as the fat guy who elbowed me out of the way because he HAD to order his pizza thirty seconds before I did.
