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

[SBR Tony]

SBR Tony, if you believe wrestling isn't a sport, shouldn't this thread, by your definition, be in the saloon?

you have a point, but since it's on ESPN the debate will continue here
plus there are a few or more than a few that believe it is a sport

Visit ESPN to get up-to-the-minute sports news coverage, scores, highlights and commentary for NFL, MLB, NBA, College Football, NCAA Basketball and more

When youre watching it what are you looking for? Do you see it as performance art and the guys who make it look as real as possible are the best at it? Or is it more to do with how synchronized an opponent plays off another kinda like ballroom dancing or something.

It can be deceivingly complex as you’ve said, but also quite simple.

My wife never followed it or watched it growing up but I was able to explain what my eyes see and she could also see it....if that makes any sense?

Its not Mensa level entertainment/sports (I was being facetious) but I think people could appreciate it with a little more understanding.

You have a good grasp on what some do enjoy it for. I honestly cant say specifically what I look for...I take what is given and see if I can appreciate what that character is trying to do.

Its fun to criticize and be creative with it but sometimes its fun to just see aggression taken out in a manner thats not quite as graphic as something like ufc or boxing.

I highly doubt that IQ level is in it for the amazing synchronized moves lol come on.....place goes nuts when stone cold pours beer on his face and an announcer makes note of the PUPPIES lol....ballroom dancing LOL...

It’s just science. Studies show men who enjoy wwe live more productive and happy lives than men who watch ufc. Apparently it’s something to do with being bullied as a child or deep seated feelings of inadequacy that cause people to watch ufc.

ufc is just a bunch of stalling. pride fighting was where the action was.
