lawrocket 3 #1 August 31, 2007 Go to Yahoo (www.yahoo.com) and click on the "sports" tab in the top center of page. It says, "Wrestlers in Doping Scandal." Okay. I do NOT dispute that WWE wrestlers are "athletes." I do not dispute that wrestling is a sport. But WWE is NOT a sport. It is "entertainment." It should be in THAT tab just to the left of "Sports." What the hell is this doing in "Sports" news? My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy9o8 3 #2 August 31, 2007 They don't want pro wrestlers to do dope because it compromises the purity and integrity of the sport. The fans have a right to expect that when the guy hits the other guy with the metal folding chair, it's real. I'm surprised you even have to ask.

Coreece 190 #7 September 1, 2007 QuoteAny press is advertising.Quote My initial thought was that this is some kind of publicity stunt, but than it occurred to be that this action might be in response to the Chris Benoit tragedy. I'm not sure if Chris was on roids or not, but perhaps the WWE is getting pressure to enforce these policies to help prevent any more violence outside of the ring.Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Look - the WWE guys are looking at baseball. Then they look at football and how it has been able to avoid governmental heat. "Um, I think we better send some messages before the government does."

That's as accurate as anybody can be. Sports entertainment with wrestlers, some of who have outstanding strength or speed, or athletic ability, or gymnastic skills, or all of the above combined. The smaller ones are sometimes the most fun to watch.
