They're not fighting. They're wrestling.

Professional wrestling (or pro wrestling) is a mode of spectacle, combining athletics and theatrical performance.

WWE is no more of a sport than Coronation Street, they are both based on acting. Acting is not a sport.

Not sure what reasons you have for hating wrestling so much, but you come across as an absolute fool. Looks to me like you've just signed up, had a go at people for watching wrestling and then made this thread to try getting a reaction. WWE, although not a competition sport as other forms of wrestling are, is a sport. The fact that it's based more on a person's ability to engage the crowd and put on a good show doesn't make it not a sport, it simply means that it's a different kind of sport - more akin to dance if you want to make comparisons

It is a sport, yet it is not a direct competitive sport. It's sportive entertainment.
It is defined by the media, the WWE as a company and broadcasters as a sport.
The WWE is an exhibition sport, in which there is no competitive value of any significant kind to any competitor regardless of the outcome of the competition.

I don't see what vendetta, or possible reason you could have to oppose WWE, and try to define it as a 'non sport'.

Because of the pain and misery it once brought to me. Finding out WWE was not real hurt me more than finding out Santa was not real.

But I'm glad in some ways that I was put out of my misery at such an early age. Otherwise I'd still be like half of you lot on here watching it every week, looking forward to the next fight between 2 specific fighters, playing with wrestling figures in my bedroom etc. That's why I thought I was doing you all a favour by telling you WWE is fake in your thread. I knew it was going to hurt you inside but it would of hurt more the longer it went on. You are obviously all still in denial, which is expected as you were all so passionate about it. WWE is such a horrible organisation doing this to people.

I actually thought you were up for a debate as to why WWE was in the sports section, instead you've clearly come on here to get a reaction.

Were not debating whether it's fake or not, but rather if it's in the right section, which it definitely is.

Of course my rep ain't gonna do anything. It was just to get the message to him. You never proved me wrong, acting is not a sport /thread.

For not being fat? hahaha. Who said anything about fat? Ever heard of a bit of muscle? Obviously not looking at your arms.
