Does any dimwit actually watch this?

I have just turned the television on to catch some headlines and some sort of "wrestling" came on (obviously staged).

Except it wasn't wrestling really - it was just something to appeal to mindless numbskulls and morons who enjoy watching grown men pretending to kick thingy out of each other - great role models or what?

One was just pretending to stamp on another's chest - should our children copy that?

Absolutely ridiculous but I guess it appeals to a certain sort.

it wouldn't be on tv if people didn't watch it!

Was it that Extreme Fighting, or whatever they call it?

I gather that a lot of women love that ......... and no, I've never seen it :-)


I guess that's what get for wanting to watch late night TV :-)

No different from the wrestling farce that was on in the 60s and 70s,,,,,thousands of dimwits,morons and numbskulls delighted in it,even old granny was there with her waving brolly wanting to get in on the act........,,,,,,,perhaps your family watched Giant Haystack,,,,,,,, ;-)

In answer to your question - yes!!!!

So I was a dimwit, moron and a numbskull back in the 60s :-0 :-0

oh dear, that's a good start to my day :-( :-( :-( :-(

Hmmm! so was I........

didn't the participants claim(or at least some of them) to be actors rather than Wrestlers?

me too - I thought it was very entertaining - especially when old ladies in the front row attacked the "wrestlers" with umbrellas etc :-D :-D

I can't bear to watch any sport on TV. Boring, boring, boring - to me at least but I expect my chosen viewing would not appeal to many here.

Other channels are always available.

I only wish they would put real stuff on - judo, for instance while kendo is highly entertaining

Then there are the contact team sports of which Oz rules football and Gaelic football must score top for thrills though they don't come over on the telly as well as rugby union.

Then if you want to participate in a contact sport there is always the London Underground and the challenge of getting from Waterloo ot Bank in 5 mins or anywhere at all from Baker Street.

oops =he's been reported yet again - that's what you get for calling people dimwits if they watch wrestling - that must be at least six of his postings reported in the last twenty-four hours - something of a record maybe :-D

Annoying when you've bothered to respond, though.

I used to go to Worthing Pier once a week to watch wrestling back in the 70's. I still have autographs from Big Daddy, Kendo Nagasaki, Giant haystacks and Mick McManus somewhere.

I knew it was staged, but it was a brilliant night out :-D

Kitty what a good day seeing you has made me smile :-D :-D

Welcome back xx

Thank you Joy :-D :-D <3

In the 60s I saw many wrestling matches live on a Saturday afternoon at Walthamstow Town Hall.

Always very entertaining and an absolute hoot to see the oldies getting involved...lolol

Each to their own, I don't watch sport at all but no need to be insulting about those who watch the sport of their choice. I think he has been out to deliberately antagonise the past couple of days and has obviously succeeded. though why anyone resorted to RRing him I don't know.

well just for the record it wasn't this moron !!!

I've mellowed a little over the years and the only sport I watch now is tennis :-D :-D

It's not worth posting anything on this forum unless it totally agrees with the general run of the mill comments. For the OP to be RRd for his opinion on people who watch a sporting (?!!) event is nothing short of ridiculous. I too loved watching wrestling in its hay day, Giant Haystacks, Big Daddy and all the rest. It wasn't exactly intellectual viewing but it was a bit of fun on a wet Saturday afternoon, and yes I think it was for morons including me, and I have no problems with anyone saying so. So RR, just butt out why don't you and give your sanctimonious do gooding a rest!

nor me!

we believe you lavender :-D

as for this thread being reported, you can't go round calling people dimwits based on which TV programmes they watch- that's just rude
