The HHH/Michaels vs the little people segment was the most tortured 5 minutes in wrestling history. Somewhere the Shockmaster is laughing.

Shawn and Hunter are better than that...it's frustrating to watch.

The comedy is too forced, and it's not funny. This version of DX sucks.

I actually liked what they did in MSG, when H pedigreed Hornswoggle. They're much better as cool heels than goofy babyfaces.

Michaels' nickname "Showstopper" is the most appropriate in wrestling. Whenever he does something other than wrestle, the show comes to a screeching halt.

He can work his arse off, but his comedic timing is nothing short of awful.

. . . and the maddening thing is that everybody has to be able to see this. Why they continue to trot him out like a sitcom character is unbelievable. He's not funny and he does it slowly - a lethal combination.

I guess this is what you get with an older guy that can't take the beatings night in and night out. They put him on the mic out of respect. :dunno:

There is a way to resurrect the D-X brand. Out with Hornswaggle/In with Morrison and Jericho.

He was fine in the young heel stage of his career through the early D-X years. He's been abysmal when trying to get laughs since. His best mic work since returning was the run up to the WM match with The Undertaker. No clowning, just business.

So insightful, thanks for your input.

I could go on and on about my disdain for wrestling and all the sub-human life forms that pay money to watch a bunch of men, dressed in tights, dance around a ring, pretend to hate each other, pretend to hit each other, and then act like they are hurt. I prefer REAL fighting not a bunch of overpaid, under-dressed actors.

Was that good enough for ya?

Ya know, it's possible to like wrestling and fighting. And it's not like there's no talent in pro wrestling.

Kurt Angle's one of those "overpaid, under-dressed actors," and he'd beat the hell out of the vast majority of the guys in MMA.

Brock Lesnar left pro-wrestling and smashed everyone in his path in UFC.

I just find wrestling laughable, not too much because of the wrestlers because they know what they do is fake. But mostly due to some of the individuals who watch it with bated breath, waiting for the outcome of a match that was already decided a week ago when the script was put together. Then you have the strikes that would kill a person if they were real and people eat it up. Just shows how gullible a lot of Americans have become.

I've been a fan of pro wrestling all of my life. I'm 29 now and still a fan - albeit not as big of a fan as I was when I was younger but that's due to the general condition of the sport more than anything else.

You can have your opinion and that's fine that you don't like wrestling but to call us sub-humans is a little ridiculous. I may not like ice skating and equestrian but I don't hold judgement on the fans of those sports.

Professional wrestling is staged we all know that. There is a pre-determined outcome of every matchup. There have only been a few that have really turned into shoots in the history of the sport. I don't see why some people give wrestling such a bad rap. Its staged but try to take a few of the moves these guys dish out on a nightly basis and see how much they really are "pretending" to hit each other. I'm fairly sure Wahoo McDaniel, Ole and Gene Anderson, Ron Garvin, Randy Savage, Frank Gotch, and many many more never pretended to hit anything. They'd really lay it to each other in the ring. I've been around some wrestlers and messed around in the ring with some of my wrestling friends locally. Take a top rope superplex, a powerbomb, a chop, or brainbuster and see how pretend that stuff really feels.

I am a pretty big fan of MMA as well. I've followed UFC ever since they first started coming on PPV in those early days in the mid 90s. I love real fighting as well.

Pro wrestling is just another form of entertainment. Many of the best athletes in the world are pro wrestlers. Maybe it is just a glorified male soap opera but at least it can be entertaining to me and to many others. And just because we enjoy this "show" doesn't mean we are sub human by any means. How many other 7'0 300 pound guys are there in the world as athletic as Matt Morgan? That guy is a freak of nature. John Morrison and the Motor City Machine Guns are some of the most gifted acrabats I've ever saw.

I'm not trying to make you change your mind about wrestling as I'm sure you have your mind made up about that. But I'd hope you could change your mind about lumping wrestling fans into the sub human category as I think that's pretty uncalled for.

You're describing a very small portion of the wrestling audience.

That's like suggesting that the millions of people flocking to the Twilight movies are gullible enough to believe in vampires and warewolves.

Wrestling fans enjoy it as athletic theater. It's not for everybody...but it's also not just for toothless rednecks.

Maybe I was a little harsh!! After all, my 6 year old still believes in Santa Clause. I should be more considerate towards make-believe

Not the stupid crap like Desperate Housewives and the other crap that the liberal media dishes out. I prefer Discovery and History Channel. I am more of a realist. I dont like fake crap.

but when you watch History channel, you already know what happened, so why bother?

You know I've been on the internet long enough to know when I'm being baited. I'm done with the posting about your disdain for wrestling and wrestling fans. I'll continue to use this forum to discuss wrestling with other wrestling fans. If you hate it so much why even bother to pop into the topic and make a post about it anyhow? If its something that doesn't interest me or I really dislike I won't be spending my time in a topic about that subject - but that's just me.
