    If Professional wrestling isn't a Sport, why do Sports news sites carry and follow it

    pisses me off to see sites like espn, cbs sports, etc carry and follow it like it's a sport

    yes I've watch it over the years and it's entertaining. but not a sport

    It’s not a sport it’s a joke and the only people that watch it are basically unsuccessful and uneducated people and of course kids that don’t know better

    Guy like me will not get involved in it

    It's athletic entertainment that is more mainstream than people want to admit. It's like Donald Trump. A lot more people like him than come out and admit it.

    It's not a sport, but those wrestlers are athletic.

    It’s entertainment and athletics. You think a bunch of fat guys sitting around a table throwing chips around is a sport?

    i don't understand why it isn't counted as a sport.
    what is your criteria of "being a sport"?

    let me take this one, a sport is something with a tangible score

    shit like figure skating where the score is subjective, not a sport...dog shows where a bunch 85yo gay pedos pick the winner, not a sport...dog shows where the dogs run 80mph through an obstacle course, is a sport

    welcome to like 1993, this isn't something to feel superior about anymore...everyone knows it's scripted, including the wwe, which calls it entertainment...it's not a burn like you have it in your head

    of course everyone knows, just giving an example that makes wwe not a sport

    also think wwe is more like a men's soap opera

    i doubt any logical wwe fan thinks it's a sport, and there are a lot of them...it's not all hillbilly's from west virginia

    wwe is very popular among college-aged athletes

    if anyone actually watched the ncaa's last year, they were cutting promos the entire time

    +1 I know smart folks from everywhere in the world (not just midwest usa) that like it...

    I can understand they used to like it (like me on the attitude era), I think the WWE product today is unwatchable

    Ill watch a classic bout from time to time here and there... is comforting... makes me feel like a kid sometimes

    Nothing wrong w that

    wwe is classics is where is at, with Undertaker/Rock/Shawn Michaels retired I have zero reasons to even try and watch today's garbage... all these stiff guys like Roman Reigns and John Cena are pathetic, no crowd control, no mic skills, nothing, NOTHING...

    I watched HBK vs Owen Hart last nite... 1995/96 not sure... good shit... then I watched a movie a chick recommended to me.

    I dont consider myself a fan, but I like to watch oldies every once in a while... HBK was my role model growing up (ages 7-14) ... I always wanted to have a similar physique and drive the girls wild...

    i just happened to get back into it mid-teens when i was too lazy to play jailbreak with the other neighborhood kids (this was pre-internet when kids still played games and didn't do drugs and have babies)...it was rock/austin/dx period GOAT

    discovered my streaming site has the wwe network the other day, they were showing the hogan-rock lead up to wrestlemania (this was after i touched a boob and didn't watch anymore)...smoked a bowl and had the time of my life watching it

    Fact is this guys back in the 90s had a dreamed job... they were close to rockstars in some cities/states... they could behave and look like rockstars AND PARTY like them

    Everyone knew HBK was on coke and soma's fukkin chicks (Sunny and Sable included) and he was still the main guy cause he was THAT GOOD.

    Go to either site, on the toolbar where it gives the major sports links, click the dotted line which is more sports
    you will see it has it's own sub site
