Why do Brits like wrestling so much? Doesn't seem like Vince's Carny Parade is very much in-line with their typically high-falootin' sensibilities.

I've always wondered this as well.

We are actually far more uncultured and uneducated than you give us credit for, if you ever came here it would begin to make sense

Its part of our national psyche, wrestling has been huge here for centuries. I would say now is the time its been the least culturally relevant

This, wrestling shows are usually what kids watch when their parents get the sky sports packages for the football.

So you get a lot of chav kids who end up loving it.

Campy fun stuff goes down well in England. We have a rich history of it,

There is a long wrestling heritage in Britain going back more than a hundred years. UK wrestling was also a big draw on TV until the mid/late 1980s and anyone mid 30s or older and from a vaguely working class background will probably remember it from their childhood.

I don't think the current US pro-wrestling product is particularly in line with British tastes, but it's a case of "take it or leave it", because there are not really any viable alternatives.

You're conflating the British upper class with Britain as whole.

Among first world countries, the UK is one of the worst for social mobility, so whilst other countries export their best and brightest, we only export our wealthiest. So foreigners only really see one small sector of British society, unless they actually come here.

They are bad, nowhere near as bad as americunts though

We're all carnies at heart

British ''people'' are just uglier and slighty thinner Americans. They gobble up all the trash the States produces

So?

What do you expect from a country that was defeated via a non violence movement?

Because when we were kids Smackdown would air after Pokemon on Sky One on Saturday Morning.
