wrestlemania 20:53 - Mar 29 with 2470 viewskingsburyR

I don't get it...is anyone on here buying it in.

It's the same price as the Mayweather vs Pacman fight.

All the results are pre planned. What's the attraction?

Anyone?

Dont know why we bother. .... but we do!

It's a soap opera, not really aimed at anyone over 18 but I can see why people are into it if you follow the plots a la Eastenders. Still wouldn't dream of paying a score for it but might steam some for old time's sake.

Was on my paddy power account yesterday, and I was proper surprised you can actually bet on it.

How can you bet on something where the results are prearranged?

Poll: Shamima Beghum

you know the good guys will win in the end of most movies but people still pay to watch them

Not watched it for a long time now but used to love the wrestling, just a really enjoyable entertainment show

Cheers Pom the old girl always had World of Sport on a Saturday It really was a big thing in the 70's & 80's , it was as camp as Christmas but still very entertaining
Much better than this WWE rubbish

The attraction? The same sort of things/reasons as to why a person might watch a film/tv show etc

Loved it as a kid (the attitude era, and for anyone that thinks that was aimed at kids you are massively mistaken) and still watch WM every year.

Because plans can and will change right up until the last minute behind the scenes.

Some people made huge profit on the Undertaker/Lesnar result last year

my mum was complaining yesterday that Dad at the age of 78, having sat and watched every bit of sport on Sky has now added this shit to his roster.

she can put up with South American division 2 ladies football as it least that isn't ALWAYS fixed, but she's doing her nut at this latest addition and think's the old man is losing the plot!

Football is massively fixed and I think QPR took part in the biggest fix in footballing history and no one battered an eye lid QPR just passed the ball to Manchester city from the centre spot ????

Na.. we were just crap!.... If you want to see a team deliberately losing by a big score then the 6-0 over Palarse when we needed to win to stay up was very wiffy!

Presumably the script is a tightly guarded secret until the last second.

Equally as said above, if the odds are too far on Louis Lycra beating Sammy Spandex, they can just flick the script up.

read a few books on wrestling and it's not as scripted as I thought, a lot of it is just improvised at the time depending on how the crowd are reacting. The main scripted part is who wins but how they do it is rarely decided.

That was what I meant with regard the script - the actors not being told who wins the fight until show time and then having to make it up themselves on the fly.

Its not quite as laissez faire as that - the wrestlers will have been working an 'angle' for some time, so will normally have a good idea of the outcome of a match or programme some time in advance - it's not quite 'Undertaker wins, off you go...' - they will have also discussed the match ahead of them with the writing staff or 'bookers' who loosely choreograph things.

they will know how it needs to end, and they will know a couple of the moves or 'spots' that they want/need to perform, and then in ring they call the shots between themselves and the referee - the 'senior' wrestler normally leads unless they are both very experienced. Most of the wrestlers have worked with each other hundreds of times, so they trust each other implicitly - what they do is actually really quite difficult to pull off and look good at the same time.

Can we not knock it?
