WWE Unforgiven

[St Helens RLFC]

Is tonight. There are some decent matches on the card and I especially look forward to Jericho - Michaels, which should be one of the best efforts in recent years, providing HBK isn't actually injured.

I also look forward to seeing the scrambles as well. I just hope the Honk A Meter is going to make an appearance!

Surely this should come under Entertainment... Its not a sport IMO...

Wrestling was a sport at the Olympics!

 

[getofmeland]

There is wrestling and WWE... WWE is faked and is for pure show with blokes who roid'd up to the nines... whereas the Wrestling at the Olympics is a genuine sport... You have two styles of Proper Wrestling which is recognised by the Olympics - Freestyle (which allows you to use not only their arms and bodies, but also their legs and can take a hold of their opponent anywhere that allows them to overpower and gain total control of them) and Greco-Roman (where your only allowed to use their arms and upper bodies to subdue and control their opponent and were only allowed to touch their opponent in the arms and upper bodies.)

But the entertainment and the wrestling cross over. Especially in TNA. I've been watching wrestling, both "faked" wrestling and Olympic style wrestling, since I was 6 and I have always considered it a sport.

 

[woosaah]

its "sports entertainment" and stupid at the same time

If its classed as a sport by Sky Sports on their news website then thats all the proof I need! I fully back SHRFLC's decision!

No idea how the scrambles turned out, I know HHH will retain his ***le as his wife writes the scripts but it'd be cool if CH Punk was able to retain his ***le. How did Jericho vs HBK go?

HBK Kicked Jericho's ass but Y2J recovered and stole the ***le in the Scramble.

 

[Prestwick]

I know, Jericho only managed to steal the ***le though after Randy Orton and his partners in crime gave CM Punk a kicking.

Anyone think CM Punk's going to make a victorious comeback to take back the ***le and then set up a showdown with Randy Orton?

Well most sport is "entertaining" to watch....so when do we call a something a non-sport?

Probably when the result has been pre-arranged does it cease to become "sporty".

Thanks for taking this off topic

To be brutally honest, this section of the forum is empty as it is so anything to get the numbers up is welcome!

That reminds me, we need to get a TNA Wrestling thread going, thanks Gay-Guy, can you action that ASAP please?

 

[St Helens RLFC]

I'm not happy with this being moved to Entertainment. Poll required.

Unforgiven was one of the best PPV'S for many a moon. All the scrambles were great and Y2J - HBK was a fantastic match. Who would have seen Y2J being champion at the end of the night. Nobody.

I haven't watched Raw yet but I would entirely expect Punk to get a rematch. However, a fued with Orton would be just what was needed to ease him back to action.

 

[Prestwick]

We definitely need a poll! Guys! Lets save the "Other Sports" section! Bring back Wrestling!

Sadly I think they're setting up The Animal Dave Batista to get the ***le or at least fued with Randy Orton. Last night's RAW was pretty good, the tag team match with Rey Mysterio & Evan Bourne...wow, haven't seen such high flying antics for ages and Bourne's finisher is simply awesome.
