Current Non-Annoyance

Why bother with any other forum?
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

Still trying to decide if I should get a wrestling T-shirt before the show and if so, which one though.

Kane's as pretty as we always assumed he was.

"Weighing in at more than 300 pounds"? Color me un-intimidated.

I went to a wrestling event right here in good ol' Iowa many, many years ago. Undertaker vs The Ultimate Warrior, and Jake the Snake vs The Earthquake.

Some low-grade professional wrestlers came to my high school when I was in seventh or eighth grade. Some of the headliners had names that were deceptively close to the names of famous wrestlers. I think the big match of the night was between a "Brett Harte" and a "Sean Michaels."

I went and had a pretty good time. Other big wrestling fans went and were quite upset by the whole affair. They felt like they'd been duped. I didn't feel bad for them. First of all, didn't the spelling give it away? (All right. We *were* in Alabama.) Secondly, did they honestly think the real dudes were going to come to Crossville, Alabama? It was a one-stoplight town with a population of fewer than 1,500. (It still is.)

I remember being slightly annoyed that the shtick of one of the wrestlers was that he was gay. He wore pink and would pin the other wrestler and try to kiss him. I was more annoyed by the people in the audience, most of whom were raging homophobes and some of whom walked out in disgust. The annoyance of the stereotypical representation of homosexuality was there, of course, but mostly I just wound up wanting to punch people in the audience.

Bending his opponent over and butt-fucking him tenderly, followed by throwing a fabulous dinner oarty, was a bit beyond the limit though.

The happy, smiling picture of Kane in a suit side by side with that description of him remains just delightful.

I used to watch pro wrestling back in 1994... I'm pretty certain that I didn't follow it longer than a year. What I liked about it then was how flashy the characters were: it was basically a bunch of men in costumes pretending to beat the crap out of each other. I haven't kept up with wrestling at all, but it seems like it's moved away from some of the ridiculous costumes and personas (personae?). Most of the wrestlers are just buff guys in tight pants - there doesn't seem to be much variation in their looks. I guess even Kane had to get rid of his mask to get with the times.

I wonder if it would be preposterous to a ten-year-old watching wrestling these days to imagine a wrestler like Yokozuna competing in one of the major wrestling federations.
