| | The Dead-O-Logue: Why Wrestling Shouldnt Be Taken Seriously | |
We all know that wrestling is staged, and to most people is called "sports entertainment", but there are some fans that take it way too far. For example, bashing a heel or face based on their real lives. A gimmick 90% of the time isnt based on a real life persona. For example:
CM Punk: Yeah, he lives a straightedge lifestyle, but come on. Who really thinks he goes around preaching to random people out on the street about drugs or drinking? It's called a gimmick people, and its designed to piss you off if the person portraying the gimmick is a heel. And if its pissing you off greatly, that means hes doing his job, and if hes doing his job thats all that matters to the wrestling world. Just because he preaches every single week on Smackdown, doesnt mean he does that in real life, and its a shame people hold that against him because they actually believe what hes saying.
There ARE heels however who are pricks in and outside of the ring, such as Orton and Batista, but to hate them for the personal life when theyre wrestling is absurd. Wrestling lives and personal lives are 2 different things, and should be treated as such. Do you think people stopped respecting Chris Benoit as one of the best technical wrestlers of all time, regardless of what he may of done to himself or his family? I doubt it.
Now onto the praising of wrestlers constantly. Take Cena for example...sure he may be a nice guy in real life...but his wrestling sucks, and his gimmick is stale and boring. Some people say hes inspirational...i call bullshit. Any time a guy repeats the same fucking lines like "i never back down and i never quit" and "youre going to war" in EVERY feud hes ever in, how is that supposed to be inspiring? Its the same shit, if i wanted to be motivated, id go to a motivational speaker.
Another topic, is the race thing. Who gives a hairy rats ass if a girl is blonde with big boobs and a big ass, or a black chick with the same thing...its supposed to be about the fucking wrestling. It makes me sick when fans have to go "theyll push the blonde bimbo but they wont push my faves cause theyre black". BullSHIT, its about having the talent, and the charisma to connect with the crowd, and if a so called "blonde bimbo" has both and a black female wrestler doesnt...so fucking what. The crowd makes or breaks you as a wrestler, with cheers or dead fucking silence, and to place the blame of a lackluster reaction on a black worker because she isnt white is horrendous. Racism is all around in this country, but it should NOT be allowed to get into shit that we all love to sit back and enjoy, such as wrestling, sports etc. Leave the racism at home folks, because the more you spit that bullshit, the less fun it is for the rest of us to sit back and watch it with you. This goes for the white fans too.
Marks...gotta love em. These are the ones that make people want to choke the ever loving piss outta them on most occasions. They piss moan and b***** about a different opinion, but feel the need to give a different opinion of their own. I remember on a non wrestling forum, i told some Jeff Hardy mark that Hardy sucks, and he told me to go fuck a toaster, then felt the need to express why he can give his opinion. All i could do was go wow, because this kid basically told me only hes allowed to give a opinion and i have to agree with what he said, regardless if it was fact or fiction. Theyre also ignorant to other fans opinions, because they know they cant handle negative opinion, so they either ignore it, or try to insult them like a idiot.
Lastly, the so called "stealing" of other wrestlers moves. No one steals moves, because theres no law that says you cant use another workers move. Hell, 85% of the moves that are being done today, were more than likely done back in the 70s and 80s, theyre called MOVESETS. If everyone doing the same move were illegal, no one would have any movesets, and ALL of wrestling would be bland and boring as shit, it would be borderline college mat wrestling, and NO ONE wants that. So stop saying ppl are stealing another workers move, because its not stealing whatsoever, and if you disagree with me, you're probably a jew.
