There is a very large gay wrestling audience.
T00l_shed@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Gay-wrestling or gay, wrestling audience lol
MrScruff@lemmy.zip 1 month ago

Both, homie. Look at the love story behind Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi, or the whole career of Timeless Toni Storm.

Didn’t the coward delete the post and tried to play it off as some kind of joke once people pointed out how fucked up the whole Trump Clan is?

Sir, do you mean to say that Hornswoggle is not REALLY a leprechaun, or that he isn’t really the illegitimate son of Vince McMahon?
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 month ago
No, just that the punches are fake. They surround it with all that other real stuff to lend it legitimacy.

If wrestling is fake explain how Mae young gave birth to a mannequin hand in her 70s

Pro wrestling isn’t a sport, it’s a performance art.

Live stuntmen that act sometimes.

I used to love shonen and hate pro wrestling but had a friend who loved it.
After giving it a fair shake, I gotta admit it’s the same damn thing, and I was a muppet.
Vespair@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
Performance kitsch, let’s not sully the word “art” unnecessarily here
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 month ago
The plots are shit, the acting is over the top, but let’s not pretend prat falls and false punches can’t be art when done well.

What part of this isnt art to you?
I still don’t know whether it is supposed to be comedy or not, but thats a separate discussion
pomegranatefern@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Interestingly enough, I know multiple queer fans of wrestling. They enjoy the storylines despite the cheese factor and appreciate the skill involved in a lot of the moves, considering it as its own kind of performance art. Like maybe you’re not winning any Oscars for selling your moves, but when you look at things like the Tombstone Piledriver, which are so difficult to pull off both convincingly and safely that use was restricted for a while to just two wrestlers, I can understand that.
I have, however, never encountered a single wrestling fan who did not hate Vince McMahon’s guts.

I always thought of it like porn.
There’s minimal plot to explain why the guy in a leather banana hammock is mad at the guy in a spandex banana hammock and vest. If you’ve never been to a ballet, other than the ring, the set, and not singing the interludes, very little is different.
I honestly love the athleticism. Though, I prefer watching the ladies jump around. Their outfits are more interesting, anyway.
mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
This is exactly how I tend to think about it. It’s like the plot in fighting games. It’s just used to ferry the audience from one fight to the next. The actual pretext doesn’t really matter that much, because that’s not why the audience is there. The amount of sheer athleticism that gets displayed on a weekly basis is honestly astounding.
Sure, pro wrestling is fake. But there is no way to fake a hit like this. The fact that those men didn’t leave on stretchers puts them on par with stuntmen.

Everyone I know into pro wrestling is one of the gayest people I know.
Granted, pretty much everyone I know is gay…
Herr_S_aus_H@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
I always describe the Royal Rumble as 30 men in bathing suits pretending to fight each other and to this point no one has ever told me that this doesn’t at least somewhat sound entertaining.
texture@lemmy.world 1 month ago
with the sate of things in american pro wrestling today, it really should be banned, and Vince should be locked up. THEN we can work on prison abolition after that.

Wrestling is just failed stuntmen performing stories written by failed screenwriters. I just wrestling fans the exact same as I just people who recreationally eat glue.
Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Commenting is just failed writers posting comments written by failed writers. I write comments and judge writers of failed comments by writers. Comments.
