Yes, I agree, there are professional wrestling and amateur wrestling as well, but it is not a sport competition, it has no sport contest, because it's only a show, good-looking show with perfect stage direction. I have nothing against wrestling (approx 8-10 years ago I also watch it on TV sometimes , it was the age of Rock, Rikishi, Stone Cold and reunioned brothers Kane and Undertaker - I remember, wow! ), but I say with confidence - WWE wrestling is not a sport. Professional sport implies that sportsman earns a salary (or bonus) for results he makes, but wrestlers are not. They make a lot of many with their show, charm and tricks, not to victories or any other sport achievements.
But I have no any complaints to you if you will continue to discuss it there, I just was surprised at first time when I saw WWE wrestling in this thread! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by pip from Wednesday, July 08, 2009 7:21:41 AM)

Why do you speak about WWE wrestling in this topic? It's not a professional sport, it's just only good show with in advance planned scenario... It will be better to create a separate thread for it IMHO.
