Anyone hate wrestling?

I just think it is a stupid thing. It is violence.

Wrestling is pretend violence, but it can be very dangerous. A number of wrestlers have been very seriously injured or died in the ring. I sometimes like watching wrestling but it wouldn't be for me because I wouldn't know how to land properly.

I think professional wrestling is kind of dumb and cheesy but I also don't think it's supposed to be anything other than silly entertainment. Now that said, it's a lot less "fake" than people make it out to be; the matches are rigged, sure, but the performances themselves are improvised, and people do get hurt in the ring. I like MMA better though since it dispenses with the theatrics.

As crazy as it sounds, I think if two willing people want to beat the crap out of each other in a ring for the amusement of others, I say they should be able to. They should know what it is they're getting into, and nobody should be forced to do it if they're unwilling, but other than that, I don't see what's wrong with wrestling, MMA, boxing, or other hand to hand combat sports.

I don't like it but I wouldn't say I hate it as much as I'm indifferent to it.

Not really, but I very much prefer my bloodsports non-scripted.
