I used to be a lover of wrestling, but all of a sudden, i stopped watching, the trick is too much. In fact I prefer watching some nollywood movies to Hollywood movies. I want to know if I'm the only one on this table.

Exactly bro, it is all scripted, I once saw an interview by Braun stroman in SA,, he admitted the whole thang was scripted, since then I lost every interest in the game.

From the onset I knew it's scripted, I lost interest in wrestling as far back as the days of Mighty Eagle, Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior and Andrew The Giant .

Yes naa,

I lost interest because it was real fake

Well, professional wrestling is simply for entertainment and it's not a reality tv show. You either like it or you don't, but people who watch it are not fooled. They just love it cause it not being real doesn't change the grand purpose which is entertainment. It's scripted in such a way that it goes beyond two people fighting; intricate story lines are added in the form of behind the scenes, grudges are fabricated to last for seasons, etc. So it's like saying 'I don't like movies cause they aren't real'.

I understand if it's not your thing though. I also don't watch it. I'm just saying it's just a matter of preference.

You mean am

That shit na mostly scripted
But you see those beatings
Bros leave
No be chice
E get why dem de talk dat don’t try this at home

Knowing it's scripted doesn't take the entertainment out of it, which is the reason I still watch it but not often.

God bless you bro am a die hard fan of wrestling and i am not quitting it is meant for entertainment yet people wants it to be real. I laugh a lot when i am watching it

Not all the wrestlers allow Scripted show......Brock Lesner does not and some few others. Reason why he always having one Issue or the other with Managers.

Well said....and also even though it is scripted, the wrestlers actually put on those skills and high moves. It's just that they have trained in a way to deliver punches so as to protect themselves and their opponents. He fans and viewers won't understand that is why there is always a wanting of "pls don't try this at home"...

Yeah i do, for fun even if it not real

I lost interest when Hulk Hogan retired

I couldn’t believe it was scripted .
The injuries are real but the whole shebang scripted !!!
I stopped watching like when the likes of hulk hogan , undertaker, Kane , HHH , stone cold Steve Austin faded .
You should watch the IRON CLAW on prime . It a documentary about the von Erick’s.

You can’t be in business without going along with the script. It protects you and the other wrestler to know the limits. You can veer off script but it better not be major

It's Mighty Igor.


Right from my childhood I knew it was scripted but I stopped watching totally after Rodney "Roddy" Piper got injured and became an interviewer instead.
The next generation from John Cena and co I didn't care to watch

We know it is not real but we still like it. Even the blockbuster movies we watch are not real. Many of them are full of CGI but it did not stop us from watching them.

Yes it might be fake, but the stunts are real and the wrestlers are trained to perform those stunts. That is why you are warned never to try it at home or anywhere

I stopped long ago.

I also used to watch Titanic since 1997 it was released, each time I do, I shed tears when Jack died. But the day I watched the making of of Titanic and saw that it wasn't even in the sea that the movie was short but, in a big bowl-like object filled with water, I was pissed off for always being emotional while watching it. Since then I lost interest in watching the movie again.

I stopped watching it as a kid. I have friends who actively follow it. I think people forget that wrestling is entertainment. It's purely for fun.
