Is professional wrestling nothing more than Soap Operas fo men?

Question

The over-acting, the drama, the posturing, the contrived plot-lines...

the comas.

Answer 1

If you tell that to a certain group of Matt Hardy "girlfriends", then they will show you the difference between a girly soap slap and a Swanton Dive (or is it Swanson?  I can't remember)

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

No, it's homoerotic dancing for men in denial... >.>

Answer 4

I'd say soap operas for women too as I watch all the WWE drama too.

Answer 5

No, the WWE is little more than soap opera for men .... they ceased presenting professional wrestling many years ago when they switched to "sports entertainment".

Wrestling is a whole nother kettle of fish.

Answer 6

Nothing more, my friend, nothing more.

Answer 7

hahahaha, i dont watch pro wrestling but that has got to be the best comparison i have ever heard.  it does seem like it when you think about it though

Answer 8

That pretty much sums it up.

Answer 9

Yeah, I think you are definitely on to something.

Answer 10

Yes....for little boy.

Answer 11

That's very good!!

Answer 12

Soap Oprah isn't even the word for these days, tasteless fake c**p is the appropriate definition for it.

I remember it was actually entertaining back when I was a child, now it's just a bunch of lame story lines that overshadow what it was intended to be in the first place, a sport! Even though it was never a real sport.....................

And as far as it being intended for a male audience, it used to be, but now there are just as many female fans, because it focuses more on sexuality for both genders, than it does on entertaining competition.

Answer 13

yep... and it lets men who are too lazy to get off their butt and workout and take care of themselves look at guys who do and somehow get gratification out of it.. i dunno... i can't watch sports when i know i can train to look better than their athletes.... and yes as far as storylines go its like telling the D-student in class to write a soap opera plot, and guys for some unknown reason like it... its a sad world we live in.

probably dumbest television program of all time

Answer 14

ROFL ~ never thought of that before! I think you're definitely onto something!

Mind you, lots of women enjoy it too ~ and men watch the soaps, they just don't admit it as much ;-)

Cheers :-)

Answer 15

the s*x, lol

and yes =)

Answer 16

YES!!!!

Answer 17

Yes, only it actually has action in it.

I don't watch wrestling but my dad gets a kick out of it

Edit: I'll admit I watched soaps. Key word: watched (as in past tense) I gave it up a couple of years ago after a favorite actor was fired.

Answer 18

right on
