How the fuck can you rasslinfags watch that shit? I've tried two separate times to get into it. I honestly gave it a chance, but it just sucks so much ass. How can you guys even like this shit?

The storylines are Kardashian tier
The fighting is Trump's hair tier
It just sucks all around.


I just don't fucking get it. Is it nostalgia from childhood that hooks you guys or something?

>Is it nostalgia from childhood that hooks you guys or something?


pretty much. I've been watching for 30+ years so it's a hard habit to break. to be fair I don't even really watch any current stuff. but I do try and keep up with whats happening and still enjoy watching old stuff.

It's nostalgic. The only reason to watch it is to hope it'll give a fleeting moment of adolescent joy.

WWE isn't wrestling

I disagree eurh the while nostalgia thing. I've been watching since 1994 Royal Rumble and I'm not gonna stop anytime soon. It's not very good right now, NXT is better but I'm not gonna stop watching WWE because it's still the best TV show for me and wrestling is my favourite art/entertainment/sport.

WWE isn't even the best wrestling TV show you mentioned in that post

i agree. i watched it when i was little. harley race, bob sweetan, bulldog bob brown, bruiser brody... then i outgrew it. i guess i decided that there were better things to do than watching softcore gay porn.

Pro-tip: Wrestling didn't use to be a soap opera.

Try watching ROH or Chikara. Those are less campy. Or even better yet watch Japanese wrestling. As long as you stick to the mainstream feds (NJPW, AJPW, NOAH) it's largely devoid of the goofy WWE shit.

Alternatively you can watch older stuff. Try Jim Crockett Promotions or any 90s Japanese wrestling.

Literally no one asked you to, and this isn't your personal blog. Make an airsoft general and stick to it.

Chikara has a lot of younger flippier talent so the matches are more spectacular but it embraces the camp, it goes full force. They did a crossover with Kaiju Big Battel for fuck sake, they crossed over with guys who wrestle in godzilla suits and have a miniature city built in the ring.

Wacky =/= Campy

OP was complaining about soap opera. Chikara doesn't really have that. They're comedy wrestling, but they aren't WWE style camp.

Most people here won't admit it but it's a "so bad it's good" thing.
