Indeed, because theatre is high brow, classy and a highly artistic endeavor. I cant think of a more literal antithesis than professional wrestling- only enjoyed by dumb, fat autistic Americunts, and old dirty mexicans

I fucking hate this board and I hate having to come back here for my HEMA Gens. The one thing thats actually good about /asp/ is that the name is appropriate, seeing as how you all must suffer from Aspergers to enjoy this gay melodrama so much

I could say the same to you. MMA's got lots of blood, faggot. And any death there arent caused by a malfunction in suspension ropes, made to lower you down from the sky like a fucking fairy

>>2735411
I don't think you know anything about pro wrestling, it literally started as them fixing wrestling (real wrestling, the shit you see in high schools) matches to ensure the promoter makes money.
Nice attempted deflection by the way but HEMA is pretty lame.

If Wrestling is for such dumb people, why are you struggling to understand simple analogies they make?

Yeah, wrestling was a total con like, nearly a century ago.
Protip: Newspapers stopped covering pro-wrestling outcomes in the 30s because the jig was up. Its gradually turned into theater since then.

>>2735421
It hasn't though. This is why you've got the entire idea of champions, contenders, oh and fighting in a ring. It's a fake sport. To deny that is just playing the semantics game because it makes you feel better.

Pro-Wrestling does not pretend to be real, unlike HEMA.

Listen man, as a sign of good faith, Im gunna tell you- there are those in HEMA who are epic cringelords. But there are also those who are at peak physical condition, competing around the world having a great time doing so, learning and improving themselves as they go.

Yes, some people actually do fight with sharps

Most dont because we're not fucking idiots who have a death a wish. The rule sets and point systems are there to hopefully simulate danger. Do some research my man. Check out some videos and Im sure you'll STILL HATE it, but only because you'll be totally jealous, and not totally ignorant

Still though, even faggot larpers are better than people whos "hobby" is watching TV

Your comparison is intrinsically flawed, but nice try

I understand that "Wrestling" may be a hobby, and you are fully entitled to enjoying it. But the topic of this thread was never to compare "wrestling" to HEMA, but if you insist

-HEMA-
>A martial art
>A basic form of physical activity

-Professional Wrestling-
>A staged theatrical melodrama
>Fake and Gay
>Television

Its clear, HEMA edges out watches TV my dude. It may be somewhat lame, and near to things like Ultimate Frisbee or Competitive Quidditch, but atleast its not near The Home Shopping Network, Duck Dynasty, and My Little Pony. Cmon

We are a bit above you though. We're basically your sport if it was real.

>>2736206
Nobody here is claiming wrestling is "real" you MMAutist. There is still very real danger involved, just ask Mick Foley. Pro westling is just as, if not more dangerous than MMA, even if it is scripted and the wrestlers themselves know how to perform moves so the one on the receiving end doesn't get seriously hurt.

But bumps still happen. Botches still happen. They STILL get hurt, even if they know how to "land it". You MMA fuckers like to think you're the hardest and toughest guys on the planet just because your fights are "real" and anybody who doesn't like it is below you even though MMA is hardly reflective of a real fight either.

>>2736206
MMA is also a fixed sport, it's just dishonest about it. Wrestling acknowledges the fact that it's predetermined.

>>2735457
