Terry Bollea is a roid-taking, n-word blowing, best friend’s wife-loving piece of poo poo. But the Hulkster, man.

Terry Bollea is NOT allowed in Hulkamania and is banned from all Pastamania restaurants, weird but true.

Yeah, considering his violent murder of his family may have been the result of brain damage, every headbutt off the top rope you're thinking "Was this the one that gave him CTE and led to him killing his family"

every conscientious liberal minded wrestling fan has to learn to compartmentalize the fact that 90% of people in the business are garbage people. i think some may say aew is a purer product in this regard but that's just because no one has uncovered that kenny omega is a serial killer yet or in some cases turning a blind eye to fan favorites.

As someone who started watching wrestling at 9 years old and has been an off-and-on fan since then, I can appreciate someone in the ring as a performer while also knowing they're trash in real life. It is possible and okay to think these things at the same time.

Wrestling is built by and maintained by people who are fully in the cult of self reliance, grind, and hard work. Not surprising.

There's more left wing wrestlers than you'd expect (and the fanbase is more left-wing than most other sports). The most notable ones are probably Hangman Page in AEW and Zack Sabre Jr in NJPW with Zack making socialism a key part of his character

Watched some Wrestlemania this weekend plus some AEW stuff and it's some of my first exposure to "modern" wrestling. On one hand, the athletic and technical ability is insane. Shooting star press from standing flat on the mat? Triple reversal into flying neckbreaker from off the top rope? A whole bunch of moves I've never even seen before, let alone know the name of? It's crazy! I feel like I stepped out of a time capsule. It's like showing modern music to someone from the 19th century. But! The complexity has gotten so high that it's harder to suspend disbelief compared to the 90s. Some of these moves are so technically complex that they need significant timing/placing/cooperation from the opponent to pull off so I notice more shuffling around and very specific setups being oddly put in place. Why are they both awkwardly getting to that exact spot near the turnbuckle? Why are they standing with their leg in that position? Why are they adjusting their position to move just a few inches to the left? Or there will be a series of 4-5 counter/reversals on a row, and it's extremely impressive, but it's obviously been choreographed and practiced dozens of times but isn't plausible at all in a kayfabe sense. Obviously, good wrestlers can limit the amount you notice it, but some stuff is just going to stand out no matter how good you are. And I know that bad wrestlers not hitting their marks or not selling hits are timeless, but I'll say that one advantage to a more limited moveset is that it can look more natural and wrestlers have more experience with a given move to where it's easier to buy in. 90s wrestling relied a lot on hip tosses, scoop slams, clotheslines, and suplexes, but most wrestlers could sell the hell out of them and scoop slamming a running opponent looks a lot more plausible than a reverse handspring to the top of the turnbuckle into flying head scissors all while the opponent just kinda watches.

Yeah, not surprised about the mentality of modern wrestling. It IS impressive. Just... different. And lol, first time I saw a Canadian Destroyer I literally didn't understand who did the move to whom and was it a counter, or the move as intended, and who is supposed to be hurt because now they're BOTH lying there...

The Canadian Destroyer got popular as piledrivers were banned from WWE. In any case, the old school wrestling you're talking about just doesn't sell well anymore since everyone knows about the kayfabe nature of wrestling. If it sold well, Smokey Mountain Wrestling probably wouldn't have folded.

The thing is, modern fast paced Wrestling is really quick to get used to. It's pretty much no different than watching an action movie made today compared to one made in the 70s. Things have gotten bigger and faster, but the corre is still the same. Pictured: The Corre
