Quote:my analogy to porn had nothing to do with aids. it had to do with people physically harming themselves because they decide this is how i need to look to be successful in this business. for every porn star that is able to do it easily, you don't think there are a bunch of wackos out there doing god knows what, killing themselves, because they want to succeed? how is that any different from what guerrero did by pumping himself up 40 plus pounds to succeed in wrestling? they realize (most of the time) the risk/reward and they go for it. guerrero could have kept doing what he was doing, wrestling in japan or other circuits and making a living, but he wanted what the wwe had to offer and felt thats what he had to do. boo hooYes, I completely agree. Individual responsibility obviously has a lot to do with it. As easy as it is for the fans to say “this sucks, I want something better”, it’s just as easy for the wrestler to say the same thing and to go utilize his talents elsewhere, albeit making not nearly as much money. But you’ve got to be naïve to the point of mental retardation to deny the fact that the WWE bears a great deal of responsibility as well. They’re the ones that create and perpetuate this “pump yourself up or get the fuck out” mentality. It’s just unnecessary. You do not have to be a juiced up bodybuilding freak of nature to be a successful wrestler. This is a FACT whether you like the WWE product or not. Yes, it is up to the individual wrestler to decide not to partake in these actions, but it is also up to the organization to not require these actions be taken as a means to simply succeed in the business.
Quote: Anus, knowing what you like or don't like doesn't make you elitist. That is your choice. Passing judgment on wrestling fans does.You’re the one that put me on the soapbox to begin with. You passed judgment on me as being “out of my mind” simply because you disagreed with me. Who’s the elitist now?
Quote: Fans don't go to these things to speculate on who is doing what. They want to be entertained.Yeah, but that’s exactly how they are entertained. They’re not entertained by watching what goes on in the ring; that’s irrelevant and boring to them. Instead they’re entertained by who is doing what and who is doing who. “Who’s Stephanie McMahon sleeping with this week? Who’s going to kiss Vince McMahon’s ass today? How many beers is Steve Austin going to pour all over himself tonight? What hilarious catch phrase will The Rock utter today?” That’s the kind of shit that entertains these mutants.
Quote: condemning those who enjoy watching the WWE just shows that you are not on that lofty level you think you are on.Again, you’re the one that put me on that lofty level. I condemn WWE fans because I think they are complete retards. I am not a retard, therefore it’s only natural to view myself as being superior to those who are. It’s really not that difficult. Just simple logic.
