  • rock774, on 10/14/2007, -20/+85entertainment for a child's mind !
    • bingobongony, on 10/11/2007, -17/+26Why? Do you really beleive there is a Stargate? Do you really believe in ANY television or movie that FREELY ADMITS to being scripted?
      • Protoss, on 10/14/2007, -1/+73Do you think that's air you're breathing?
      • solid12345, on 10/14/2007, -20/+11Difference is professional wrestling has better writers than Stargate.
      • DocHoliday22, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5A guy makes the mistake of asking whether wrestling is real, here is the consequence (funny vid): http://youtube.com/watch?v=z97gBdWjLN0
        • bingobongony, on 10/14/2007, -5/+17"real" and "scripted" are not the same thing.
          Wrestlers ARE performing high impact, dangerous moves in the ring. That is real. If you put your body on the line 200+ days out of hte year you would get pissed if people said what you were doing was "fake" too.
        • DocHoliday22, on 10/14/2007, -0/+6Wrong. Most of the times it's improvised in the ring, though the winner has been previously decided. The point is to make the pain they inflict on each other seem real, also known as "selling". However, serious attention is paid on not getting each other injured, though accidents do happen. The whole ring is also rigged with a flexible canvas and multiple microphones under the canvas to make throws and falls seem high-impact.

          Why do I know this? Yeah because people like the Rock who aren't insecure about their profession openly discuss this in interviews. These guys know it's all performing arts stuff, so deal with it. But then you have other wrestlers who throw a rant and a tantrum if you even hint it's fake because you're somehow degrading their jobs, their male ego. I mean if you have Donald Trump (Youtube) wrestling in the ring throwing serious take downs, what the hell does that say?
        • Sil369, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Army recruiting/training?
      • Boomkin, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1False analogy. Real wrestling actually exists, Stargates do not.

        Besides, rock774's statement is valid regardless. "Pro" wrestling is for pussies who can't handle real arena combat.
        • bpapa, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2I'd love to see you train for one day to be a pro wrestler and then say it's for pussies.
      • ericthesalmon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1There's a stargate in Detroit.
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:The_Michigan_La ...

        But really, nobody cares about Detroit.
        • Maynym, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2George Bush doesnt care about Detroit.
      • spudnic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Some people believe this type of wrestling is real, no one believes Stargate is real (except perhaps some nut jobs)

        That's the difference
    • Iwantawii, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20http://thatvideosite.com/video/1292
    • texpundit, on 10/14/2007, -2/+53Let's be honest. Wrestling is soap opera for guys. I have no problem having fun with it. BUT...people DO put their bodies and lives on the line for the "sport." Just line up a list of people who have died from serious injuries during matches.

      They may be actors...but they're also athletes...just not the kind we associate with the term "athlete."
      • solid12345, on 10/17/2007, -7/+14I still have more respect for them then half of those millionaire gang banger thugs in the football, basketball, and baseball world.
      • cmorwhat, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I agree with you tex. I'm not a big fan of football so on Monday night, I'm off to my buddies house to get drunk and watch wrestling. I know its not real, but *****, It's still fun to watch. Ive been in Germany on the job for 2 months and I miss that damn show so much.
    • bpapa, on 10/10/2007, -4/+5Do children put a space in between the last word of a sentence and an exclamation point?
    • SiNN4R, on 10/10/2007, -14/+8Gay porn for rednecks.
      • PieterOpie, on 10/10/2007, -5/+0LOL...... gay rednecks..... SHUDDER - what an image i have of that. NOOOOOO!!!!!
    • cmorwhat, on 10/10/2007, -9/+1no gay porn for rednecks is.....gay porn. probably more ***** up ***** than we have ever seen. those rednecks are SICK ***** trust me i know i lived in texas for 19 years. Wrestling wont get their rocks off i garuntee it
      • jp3550, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Shouldn't you be getting ready for school?
      • sgtbutterscotch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1hehe, dp
      • sgtbutterscotch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1my english teacher once said wrestling is porn for people who don't watch porn
  • vroom101, on 10/10/2007, -20/+9Site's down...at least for me it is. Mirror?
  • webcure, on 10/22/2007, -3/+1261 Krazy Korean noticed, he pointed it out to all of us.
    • vulcanius, on 10/10/2007, -2/+40I believe we established that 1 Krazy Korean is Kim Jong Il, and I'm sure he would greatly appreciate it if you addressed him properly.
  • simcjt, on 10/22/2007, -12/+68He slipped it's still real.....
  • thenativeraver, on 10/22/2007, -4/+196He used his special telekinesis move...
    • RobotKing, on 10/10/2007, -5/+3Wow Big Poppa Pumps new force push move is way better than when he used to just body slam people.
  • sfpfc, on 10/10/2007, -9/+57this is a conspiracy
    wwftruth.org
    • Dested, on 10/10/2007, -1/+34Anyone else go to the website looking for some answers?
      • ufia, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24I know the answer, the wrestler was hit by a missile.
      • clothmonkey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2He hit his head because the government wanted him to... XD
  • Pilot85, on 10/22/2007, -19/+127Where do they get the audiences for these wrestling matches? Do they pay them or something? Cause you'd have to pay me a lot.
    • paranox, on 10/10/2007, -51/+15Sadly, there are people out there who pay large amounts of money to see these wrestling matches. I have a feeling most of them are christians.
      • bingobongony, on 10/10/2007, -11/+6Wow...did you really expect that this comment would make Chrsitians or wreslting fans look bad? If so, you failed. If you thought that it would make YOU look bad, you succeeded.
      • wordsofwisedumb, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11Paranox just so you know, there are some people who agree with you. I reloaded the page and your comment had gone from -8 to -5. Maybe there should be a history for comments so you can see how low they ever got and how high they ever climbed.
      • mattn, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_the_Unite ... a huge majority of Americans are Christians. I'm making the assumption that wrestling isn't extremely international, so who knows. Not saying it was a good comment, but it wasn't necessarily wrong. The implication of causation (unless I'm reading it incorrectly) is wrong though. At least I hope so.
    • Br0wn, on 10/22/2007, -4/+106Most of the audience obviously doesn't believe it's real. It's entertainment. Good guys, bad guys, sluts wrestling hoping for a nip slip. People say it's fake but fake is the wrong word to use. It's staged but they still have to do the moves and take some pain.
      I'm sure before you buy tickets for a movie or broadway show you first decide if it is real or not.
      • wtfpwned98, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2"Where do they get the audiences for these wrestling matches? Do they pay them or something? Cause you'd have to pay me a lot."
        qft
    • OutThisLife, on 10/10/2007, -9/+5Or they're hicks..?
      • TheGuruStud, on 10/10/2007, -5/+4Same thing as a christian (the hardcore retard kind). I guess you didn't grow up in the midwest or the south.
    • Thefatheroftime, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1People go to this stuff to hopefully get their sign, with website, broadcast on television.

    • bpmdub, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5For this particular wrestling company(TNA) the tickets are free for their TV tapings all you really pay is the entrance fee to Universal Studios.
    • DonKarnage25, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3Kansas City?
      • DonKarnage25, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2To whoever dug me down: Are you saying that wrestling isn't popular in Kansas City?
  • Jhorra, on 10/10/2007, -12/+3I think that's a clip from the new Heros:Origins series. . .
  • nephilimx, on 10/10/2007, -8/+10Quality TNA wrestling
  • YoHenYo, on 10/10/2007, -3/+24...He's hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • digitallysick, on 10/10/2007, -26/+30wrestling is stupid
  • LoganSerman, on 10/10/2007, -6/+26Its real, and all of the wrestlers are cyborgs with jedi mind tricks.
    • baysbenj, on 10/18/2007, -0/+6Cyborgs using jedi mind tricks pinned up against one another in a ring? Yeah, I'd watch that.

      This however... not so much.
  • boat, on 10/10/2007, -5/+28its the roids fault
  • dezztruction, on 10/10/2007, -8/+1mirror?
  • sambapati87, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10no no no its just the awesome power in his wrists that threw him down --- come on, guys
    • alexhouse, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6This has to be true. Most of the WWF fans I know do have pretty strong wrists.
  • meachen, on 10/10/2007, -3/+89***** freaks.....i can kick all their asses (in counterstrike)
  • gojcaj, on 10/10/2007, -5/+45God someone was right about digg becoming their new "spam box"
  • dyslexicsUNTIED, on 10/10/2007, -24/+6what is real? the one guy licking the womans pussy?
  • crackedplastic, on 10/11/2007, -1/+39Mirror: http://duggmirror.com/other_sports/I_Don_t_Care_Wh ...
  • CushyL, on 10/10/2007, -9/+30I love animated gif's... Who needs movies with sound, 24 frames a second, and those silly a play and pause buttons?
    • Br0wn, on 10/18/2007, -13/+3Who needs retarded comments or video responses on what people think of the video, or how bout that dating site spam.
    • aussieNickuss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Don't forget more than 256 colours.
    • sgoogle, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Who need to bother downloading a video when a small GIF shows it fine?
      • CushyL, on 10/18/2007, -0/+1I didn't realize people still used 28kb/s modems...
  • HumanGlitch, on 10/10/2007, -4/+14He foucused his energy into his hands and threw him down with the force.
  • grantmoore3d, on 10/10/2007, -9/+21It is real... the wrestlers are just mentally challenged.... but only a little more than the audience.
    • solid12345, on 10/10/2007, -5/+8Funny i'd say the same thing about most digg users!
  • PaulGriffin, on 10/10/2007, -20/+11Yeah, and Stone Cold never broke his neck.
  • Subvexer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+76It's got electrolytes!
  • Crossmenjeff, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7aftershock from the previous move
  • vogelzang, on 10/14/2007, -2/+98Soap opera for men.
    • ZiggityZhang, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I wish i could digg that twice
    • deadmann, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Actually, atm it's pretty much just a regular soap opera.
  • stackered, on 10/10/2007, -8/+33are u kidding me? i cant believe he used jedi mind tricks on him... thats one of the best wrestling moves ive seen in a while, second only to killing your family and then suiciding
  • sroop, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Roid-induced acting. Tsk Tsk.
  • KingJeff, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10It's called a suicide headbutt. Seesh. Do I have to point everything out to you?

    http://www.wrestlingname.com
  • bingobongony, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24So, he has really strong fingers.
  • iwantamonkey, on 10/10/2007, -9/+14Scott Steiner is universally recognized as a bad wrestler anyway. Are we supposed to be surprised at this clip? Since the beginning TNA has had production problems -- the editing team is not A+ when it comes to picking camera angles to make things look "real." But anyway, Steiner is a heel so who cares if he ***** up?
    • PaulGriffin, on 10/10/2007, -12/+6DONT DEFEND WRESTLING! DIGG DOWN!!! DIGG DOWN!!! YOU'RE AS BAD AS MICROSOFT AND BUSH!!!! BOOOOO!!!!
    • russelbutt, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4ahh.. steiner is an old hack.. so are the rest of these tna clowns.. but you gotta admit.. back in the wcw hay-day, the steiner brothers were pretty sweet.. the first time i saw him pull off the frankensteiner.. woo.. that was some sort of awesome..

      *cough* i mean, wait, what? wreslting if fake! boo!!! *cough*
  • Velnich, on 10/12/2007, -1/+58All you've done is proven that Wrestler's have special powers.
  • NSMike, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5qigong?
  • digital99, on 10/10/2007, -5/+0no way it's real, that's outraged.
  • Luminoth, on 10/10/2007, -8/+1So he basically released The Key(tm) on the guy's face. What's the big deal? Are we calling it fake because we can't hear the Wooooo as he begins the release?
  • xquizit, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2that's why millions of people watch wrestling.
  • LaGStAr, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9If you ever watch wrestling you should notice that whenever a person goes to hit another person, the camera angle changes, so you don't notice this as much. When they aren't changing the camera angles at the right time, you notice a lot of this.
  • shadowmoose, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12Everyone knows it's fake, it's just entertainment. Still I don't see how people watch that stuff.
  • franick, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Oh my goodness..... They still use those red ropes!?
  • Backspace89, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1Lol that is hallarious
  • rocknroll4ever, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1The world of sports is a lot like the entertainment industry. If you do something great to please your fans you get people to really admire you. But in the sport ( if you can call it that ) of wrestling it doesnt matter who you are as long as you do something totally unexpected nobody will like you and the thing you do in trying to entertain us the people who support you. Maybe they should have an awards show like the Academy Awards every single wrestler would be nominated for best actor.
    • Cattrin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The title for best actor would require some actual acting talent. ;)
      I haven't watched wrestling for years, but I remember those cheesy mid-match 'plotlines'... I wish I could finish this sentence but there really are no words to sum up just how awful they were.
  • WarfareArtist, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7The force is with him...
  • bpapa, on 10/10/2007, -7/+38Hey, guess what? The pro wrestling world has had no qualms for years in admitting it's scripted nature.
    And please, Digg is filled with people who jack off to Heroes and play Magic the Gathering. Not the type of people who should be making fun of something that entertains others.
    • g33kfu, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Dugg for mentioning MTG! Kids still play that stuff?
      • darnit, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Only those who reference it as an acronym.
      • russelbutt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5uuuhhh.. i don't know about kids, but.. i still do......... ?? :)
    • Boomkin, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Last I checked, superheroes and conjuring wizards don't exist in the real world. The only way to have those in entertainment is for it to be fake. Wrestling, on the other hand...
      • GezusK, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1..is just the same, except you need some athleticism and skill to pull some of that stuff off without hurting yourself. While the outcome and some of the moves are scripted, falling several feet to the mat or through a table doesn't tickle. Provided, some are just big and do very little, but the smaller guys tend to do some impressive moves. Think of it as a live action stunt show, or action movie. You know its not real, but stunt men still get hurt, just like wrestlers, all for your entertainment.
    • MarvinGalaxy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1I do NOT play Magic the Gathering!
      • markperia, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3what do you play, Yugioh?
        • MarvinGalaxy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0(sigh)
          Okay, I thought I got dugg down for using an ancient cliche' joke type, but then this comment completely confuses me. I don't know if my joke was trumped by Yugioh or if it really went over people's heads even though it was flying so low.
          When two statements are made about us digg nerds and I vehemently deny one of them...
          I figured it was safe to make that joke since all the hot chicks on the cast are at least 18 now.
  • Weedduder, on 10/14/2007, -15/+1Dudes! ***** A its real! my homys and me sit and watch WWF and smoke a bowl. you cant tell me that ***** aint real. Fags think it aint real and *****. Try smokin weed and watch WWf on TV. You'll see it's real! people who dont think its real are tards.
    • PaulGriffin, on 10/10/2007, -6/+7DRUGS ARE COOL AND FUNNY LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
    • hellotyler, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2WWF target audience... high ass hick ***** who can't tell the difference
    • Jonsblckhwk, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1LOL if you guys knew anything about weed you would know that weedduder has never hit a marijuana pipe before.
  • Gosunkugi, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7... the funny thing is that this is a fairly old clip that wrestling fans have been making fun of for quite a while now. Though it's not quite as funny as the time that Scott Steiner (the musclebound bleached blonde guy in the .gif here) tried to do a diving move off of the ring apron and slipped and fell on his face. THAT was classic.
  • solid12345, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Don't people know the NFL has been scripted too ever since the AFL merger.
  • kahsoon, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1I wonder if you are captain obvious.
  • peacefullwolf, on 10/10/2007, -7/+9watch ufc that stuff is awesome. and real.
    • solid12345, on 10/10/2007, -6/+2Yes because we'd rather watch two grown men beat the ***** out of each other for real instead of fake, that is more respectable!
      • Cattrin, on 10/14/2007, -0/+4Less nasty costumes and gimmicks (There are some, but less) and Zero mid match, pre match, post match, every match plot lines to get in the way... UFC IS no Contest XD. It's about the actual fight, not how high you can jump off a rope or who stole your hooker, er... 'diva' and title that week.
        • Hoobam, on 10/14/2007, -10/+2Maybe. But the thing about it is, UFC is mega homoerotic while it pretends to be macho. Whenever you see them go into their "ground game" you might as well be watching gay porn. "But wait! He's hittin him too!" True. You like watching men roll around on the floor together exerting themselves? Go right ahead.

          not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm just sayin--if that's what floats your boat, maybe you're a sailor. Again, not that there's anything wrong with that. Seriously.
        • Syphon8, on 10/14/2007, -1/+5You're not very comfortable with your sexuality, are you, Hoobam?
      • iziizi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1you need to man up!
      • iziizi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1you need to man up!
    • tehjarvis, on 10/14/2007, -0/+6They're two completely different things. You can't compare them. I'm not a fan of wrestling, but I am a fan of MMA. They both have their place.

      /I miss Pride FC.
      • leerayIG88, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1MMA blows....YOU BLOW.....UFC kicks your ass.
    • tk0680, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3No, see, MMA is real and therefore it's easier to admire the winner of a bout. However, because WWE/TNA/etc. have the chance to script their matches, it's often far better to watch. Sure, it's not real, but then neither was the last non-Michael Moore-made movie you enjoyed. Doesn't stop it being fun.
  • BadMonkeh, on 10/10/2007, -7/+0LMAO
