World wrestling entertainment

Well, the WWE isn’t really a sport. It’s REAL wrestling moves with pretty fake acting. It’s called World Wrestling Entertainment for a reason. It’s a violent soap opera. I’m glad for John Cena that he uses his fame for something good. But, he isn’t a real athlete. The reason you don’t hear more about WWE in a positive light is because look at what happened with Benoit. He killed his entire family. That brought attention to the WWE. Look at what McMann did. I’m not saying here but, it caused Hulk Hogan to quit wrestling. It’s just entertainment. Key word being ENTERTAINMENT. Yes, there is athletic prowess involved. You want to watch real wrestling? Watch Graco Roman or Freestyle. Where they wear ear pads and wrestle on the floor on a one inch thick pad. Thats a real sport. Is there a WWE in the olympics? No? Well, why not? Maybe because it’s an entertaining thing to see. I personally don’t watch it because there really isn’t any entertaining value to me. personal choice. If you like WWE then watch it. If you want to know why people pay more attention to actual sports then WWE think about this. Millions of people watch pro-sports. A few hundred thousand watch WWE. Still wonder why WWE stars don’t get more publicity?

So, let’s talk about comedians. They go overseas and entertain the troops. Do you hear about that making HUGE headlines? Sometimes it gets aired on HBO. But, why aren’t you asking about them too?

I see your point but however, it isn like the fans already know the outcome of an match or anythin, only the wrestlers do…im sorry but that doesn sound like a very good excuse,ok so they dont neccessrily talk bout it on sports but what bout other stuff, they talk bout what goes on in the entertainment world…now wats their excuse???

The key is the word ‘entertainment’: amusement or diversion provided especially by performers (similar to a play, soap opera, etc, with a predetermined outcome - whereas ‘sports’ are a legitimate ‘competition’ with the outcome unknown.
