What do Wrestling/wrestlers and Rodney Dangerfield have in common?
They both get no respect.
And I for one am damn tired of it.
Wrestling is shown by the folks who are NOT into wrestling in an incorrect manner, and it has gotten on my nerves alot. Wrestling itself is either shown as something that is much too real and violent or completely over-the-top phoney with none of them ever doing any great moves or even doing anything at all, and with no pain at all ever coming to either wrestler.
The Wrestlers--and it seems to extend to every single one of them---are all shown as big dumb lumbering musclemen without any brains. and always have some ridiculously idiotic gimmick that would make the GobbledyGooker look like the Rock.
Wrestlers are also slammed for wanting to act. Anytime a movie says it has a wrestler in the main role it is instantly declared a horrendous piece of crap---people have this damn stupid hypocritical and extremely sterotypical idea that if you are a wrestler then it will be a bad movie and that anyone who is a wrestler cannot act. This is despite the fact that Wrestlers are probably the best possibility for a good actor just as much as a "stage actor" wrestling after all is nothing more than stage acting A.K.A. "Opera for men"
What ticks me off most about this is that this attitude about Wrestlers and their acting abilities come from the same people who rant and rave and call lousy actors like Hallie Berrie, Dakota Fanning, and Queen Latifah and Brittany Murphy---even though they can't act their way out of a paper bag!
The problem is that they have already decided that since this guy is an actor he will suck and the movie will too.
Yet the Rock is one of the biggest actors around nowdays--now that his wrestling past has more or less been erased that is.
Lastly we have the depiction of us. The wrestling fans.
And of course we are shown as brainless,bloodthirsty idiots who don't know it's fake and are dumber than a rock.
All in all I am damn tired of the negative way we and wrestling and it's hardworking men and women--and us the fans are disrespectfully shown.
