  • Untrue. Vastly untrue.

    What we know as wrestling started off in civil war camps (between battles, Irish soldiers would wrestle each other while the other soldiers would bet on the matches), which eventually turned into a legitimate sport, who's first World Champion was a man called William Muldoon. Also known as "the solid man".

    What we know as professional wrestling today can be traced back to 1909 with a match between Frank Gotch and George Hackenschmidt, which is considered to be the last legitimate contest for a world title under the banner of "professional wrestling".

    After that we get the rise of the Gold Dust Trio and what we know as "sports entertainment".

  • The best response to that is to pretend like you are just discovering that for the first time.

    Explain how you believed this entire time a man could summon fire with a wave of his hand, or even come back from the dead, and that they have ruined your worldview.

    When you point out how stupid the question is, makes the conversation short.

  • The same thing MMA calls it: catch wrestling.

  • Just because it's something you don't like, doesn't make it not worth an insane amount of money.

    There's a reason why WWE is not only still around, but worth more today than it was in it's "heyday".

    You're laughing because someone bought a proven market. It's literally the same as Marvel, Star Wars, or any other market.

    That's nice you think you understand what a valuable acquisition is.

  • He didn't retire, really. His show on Apple+ was canceled a few months ago.

    I was actually wondering if he would wind up back at home because of it.

  • Just me.

    I'm old and have very few friends, heh. Especially ones who would even know what plex is

  • Lots of guys be fuckin' swordfish, these days?

  • Yeah, one of the reasons I love plex is I don't actually need to be connected to the internet for it to work. Just my home network. All my devices work fine when the internet goes out, which is frequently does during storm season

  • Shit. Really?

    I didn't realize it wasn't really a thing people said anymore

  • More like methadone? 😅

  • If you can show me in this comment section where I commented on my understanding, that would be appreciated.

    Oh wait. That's right, I didn't.

    Nice alt.

  • People who actually read the article don't need to ask questions that were answered in the cited source.

    Anyway....

  • Tapatalk made all my favorite forums pretty shit
