Would you watch Jousting if it was broadcast on TV?

Are there any other historical sports you would like to see return?

That guy at the end was seriously lucky the lance broke.
The Aztec ball game!
>>905350

>>905376
Why not?
>>905331
No. I don't watch TV.

The fact that full metal jousting wasn't a bigger hit is a clue about how popular live jousting on TV would be.
You can watch most jousting tournaments a few days later on youtube anyway.

Yeah but what if you had a decent promoter behind it, broadcasting it live, from a stadium, hyping it up the guys and making characters from them. Totally different atmosphere to a reality TV show. Just think how MMA was viewed before UFC
Weren't the jousting events sometimes really theatrical with really ridiculous costumes and dwarves acting as "Bastard of Burgundy" and such

That looks pretty silly to me since they're using fake equipment and flimsy lances.

I don't like play fighting shit. If it were legit, i would watch it, but the problem is that it would need to have an element of danger to be legit, and nobody wants that

Jousting is inherently dangerous. Historically, lots of people died during jousts and it only became safer during the late middle ages when they introduced more safety equipment.
Of course that didn't keep people from practising more dangerous types of joust, such as the "Pfannenrennen" (pan-race) where they'd joust with sharpened war tips on their lances, attempting to hit a reinforced metal pan on their opponent's chest in order to dismount him.
Pre-requisite for participation was that they'd bring a coffin though, that was to be placed next to the track to have it ready just in case.

the cringe .....
>>908073
What are you cringing at?
>>908085
He is a faggot that have hoped on the use of cringe in hopes that other fgts who use the word will agree
He'll yeah, I would. I'm honestly surprised it isn't more popular here in America, but it isn't shoved down our throats like other sports so no one will care. I think that's one of the problems with modern people; if you're not told to care about something you won't.
