anyone wanna talk about Extreme Rules, KotR, Raw or last night's NXT? Haven't seen Smackdown yet, though I saw it already came on in Canada.

No, no one other than you likes wrestling. Are you a twelve-year old boy? It's all fake, anyway.

Shut up

wrestling is cool (even if I don't keep up with it)

everyone knows it's fake, it owns anyway

Go kill yourself like Chris Benoit.

Obviously you are new. Welcome to the fandom secrets, where largely everything we like is fictional and the points don't matter. Or something like that.

Also, yes, it scripted. Yes, the participants are attempting to avoid actually hurting each. (Brock Lesner, who switches from MMA to WWE had an interesting remark about how he had to switch his mindset from MMA-- where you are trying to hurt people-- to WWE-- where you trying to avoid actually hurting people. I find the whole the whole acting aspect of the WWE infintely interesting, moreso than "real" violence.) ALSO, yes, people still get very hurt. (and are totally not just selling it, you can tell the difference and bloody or obviously painful matches are actually kind of scary, tbh.)

You bring up an interesting point, however. See, when I was 12-- hell, when I was 26-- I would've said the same as you: wrestling is dumb, fake, etc. I was struck by a horrible, misguided sense of superiority that I was somehow above the baser pleasures that wrestling provides (soap-operatic drama and violence, mostly, but it's also pleasantly quite kinky). None of us are immune to draw of human drama, violence and sex, however, and none of us is above our perfectly human enjoyment of it.

you can tell the difference and bloody or obviously painful matches are actually kind of scary, tbh.)

Yeah, I had to actually walk away from the screen reading about that one fight between Undertaker and whatshisface, that ended up with dislocated shoulder, broken jaw, and near-death. I am astounded at the punishment those guys can take--PLUS Undertaker STARTED the match with a broken foot!

EDIT: on the plus side, though, learning about that fact actually helped me figure out something totally unrelated, so thanks, bashed-up wrestlers!

Haven't seen any of it yet. :-(

Oh boo! I hope tumblr didn't spoil you if you have a tumblr. I live blogged Extreme Rules and KotR like a lamo because that's the kind of person I am.

It kinda sucked how they condensed the KotR tournament, but I'm glad Wade Barrett won. Maybe now they'll do something with his character.

And speaking of doing something with their character, can Creative please figure out what to do with Dean Ambrose? Poor guy's been in some kind of mid-card jobber losing streak hell since his feud with Seth Rollins ended.

I was rooting for BNB once Dean was out (thanks Ziggler). My theory on his win is it was make up for losing the IC title to Daniel Bryan, who was then promptly injured and won't be defending the title until at least June. I would like to see more BNB because I think he's a lot of fun and he has a big personality. Not really a knock on Nevile, who I like, but he's rather new to the main roster and I think he needs to get settled. (Also would not have minded R-Truth because we don't see him much and he was very fun in his promos.)

I miss Erick Rowan and I want him and Dean to form a tag team? Just two dudes who lost their family trying to find a way in the crazy world of the WWE?

I like that Dean and Roman seem to be friends again too. I mean, I guess they've been friends all along, but I like that their friendship is visible again. I wouldn't mind them tag teaming either, as a contrast to Roman and Seth's tag team partnership. I dunno why I want Dean in a tag team. I think it's because I feel like his character needs a counter and a sort of mollifier? I'd like to see him and Roman became very strong together and rub their success in Seth's face as a sort of "see? We didn't need you after all." (Mostly because I think Seth still does have feelings for both of them.) That'd be something for Dean to do rather than all the jobbing he's been doing. I feel like we might be exploring more Shield fallout this summer (hopefully, because I can't get enough of that shit).

I like the idea of Seth being left alone, though I do think J&J and maybe Big Show might genuinely care about him? But, Seth doesn't seem to care about anyone but himself, I'd like to see that mindset come back to bite him (and see him do a face turn). (I'm very interested in Seth's character. Is he a heartless mastermind concerned only with own successful? Is he a fuck-up coward who is not as intelligent as he thinks? Does he feel deeply and chose to suppress his doubts and emotions in order to get what he wants? I DON'T KNOW!)

Sounds like a fic I'd read.

omg me too. I might write it too if I weren't so intimidated by writing Dean.
