WRESTLING

[andrew_nixon]

Coreographed, so in that sense it is fake, but injuries do happen, and it does hurt sometimes, so there is a little bit of reality in it.

dictionary.com defines sport as "Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively" There is no rule book, and as all results are pre-determined, it is not competitive, therefore professional wrestling is not a sport.

That is not to say it does not require some athletic ability and skill to participate in though. But that doesn't make it a sport. Ballet requires a lot of athletic ability and skill, but no-one would suggest that was a sport.

So you admit it's fake, but go on to say it's a sport? You compare it's fakeness to movies and TV, but go on to say it's a sport? You think it's a better sport than golf? In golf results aren't pre-determined, and it's a real competition.

Don't take that as an attack on you, it's just my opinion

I'm not taking it as an attack....
But I didn't want the literal meaning of sport into it...

Wrestling requires Athletism and Skills ... and so it is sport
But the results are predecided... so it is not a sport...

But you can't put wrestling in TV Show category coz it's different...
So I would consider it as a Semi-Sport....

I wouldn't even consider it as a semi-sport. How about some action movies? would you consider them as a "semi-sport" as they require "athletism and skills"

Or ballet? Or dancing in a club?

Wrestling is not a semi-sport. Either it is a sport or it isn't. And as it pre-determined, it is not a sport, simply a form of entertainment.

Do movie stars ever perform a stunt?? It's the duplicates and that too under extreme precautions... while in wrestling you have to perform all the stunts yourself like falling from a height of 30feet or doing a somersault from a height of 10feet on the ground..... So wrestling requires way more athletism than almost any other sport in the world...

And what sort of skills are you talking about in Actions movies... I don't see any skills there??? Only acting skills... I was talking about acrobatic skills and ability to perform high risk stunts flawlessly... can your movie stars do that??

How about the stunt men then? Or ballet dancers? Or circus performers?

The main definition for a sport is that it MUST be competitve. Professional wrestling is NOT competitive.

 

[Nikhil_Verma]

Ok
Then "Who wants to become a Millionaire" is a sport... Coz it's competitive....!!!

 

[andrew_nixon]

No a sport must be both competitive AND athletic. If it is just competitive, it is a game. If it is just athletic, it is entertainment or exercise.

Answer me this.... do you consider ballet to be a sport? Because by your defention, it is.

Wrestling is scripted.It is pre-determined.The wrestlers are just professional actors.The board of directors tell them what the outcome of their match should be.Then the wrestler and his opponent sit down together and plan how to make the match interesting.Then,over the weekend,they have a few practice matches,just to memorize the moves.

 

[vibs89]

Yes ur rite that wat exactly they do that is just all setup but some people go crazy in wrestling specially in America whenevr somebody fights happen or argue happens in school they say u wanna fight after school then after school they have a fight behind the school and when the cops come they run away from them
