I've never understood the attraction to wrestling. Everyone knows the stories are fake, and the fighting is scripted. . .what's the point?

I don't really watch wrestling anymore but the same thing can be said of tv shows and movies. Doesn't stop people from watching those.

you watch movies right?

Sure, and I enjoy the benefit of varied genres, actors, time periods, environments, musical scores, directorial styles, screenplays, special effects, themes, and even languages. Wrestling = a bunch of sweaty muscle-dudes talk a lot of junk, dance around a ring pretending to fight, repeat ad inifinitum. After one year of wrestling what else can you possibly see?

If people don't like wrestling, that's one thing, but when their reasoning is that it's fake, that's when their argument becomes ignorant. If you have ever watched a movie or TV show in your life, it's the same exact thing. People don't watch it because they actually think it's real. That's ridiculous. It's entertainment. It's a spectacle. And it takes a great deal of athleticism to pull off what those guys pull off. And while the matches are predetermined and storylines are scripted, the wrestlers still get banged up inside the ring. They still feel pain. If you still have to ask yourself why people are fans of wrestling, there's probably nothing anyone can tell you to change your mind about it. But to just say "it's fake", that's ridiculous. When you watch a movie, do you point out everything thing in the movie as being fake as well? No, you suspend disbelief for 2 hours and just enjoy yourself.

I havent watched wrestling in like 8 years but think of the business sense it makes. You have the brainless girls that watch Jersey Shore and 18 and Pregenant, well you also have the brainless guys that need their share of the same thing suited for guys.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
