  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Am watching the live info for Smackdown vs Raw 09. One very cool addition for Smackdown vs Raw 09 is a new create a finisher move, I cant wait to see what I can put together with this. Also they are adding inferno matches. Roster is gonna have over 60 superstars. Its got me pretty excited.

Yup. I'm a wrestling fan. Never have really tried to hide it either. Got a problem with that?

I wouldn't mind wrestling if it was an actual test of skill. Professional wrestling is all fake--elaborate stunts, nothing more. I've seen people actually wrestle and it's pretty slick--one of them was a Gold Medalist-turned-coach from Poland who was built like a fucking BEAR.

I watch it for the sheer athleticism it requires to do what they do. Yeah they may not be punching each other for real, and yeah a lot of it are elaborate stunts, but a lot of that still hurts like hell. The sheer number of injuries that you see throughout the course of the year shows that. I am not trying to pass it off as real, but I always argue that its fake, but its real too, because you really need skill, athleticism and stamina to do what they do in the ring, and you have to respect that. And they all do it for one reason, other than the money, and that's to entertain the fans. And consider that until you manage to become a big star, the money isn't all that great, I would even go so far as to argue that many of them do it for the fans, and the money is second.

Rent, do us all a favor and refrain from posting in a thread just to say "I don't like this."
