Why is there no wrestling forum? It would be nice if we could talk about the world of professional wrestling. What do you say?

I'm a huge wrestling fan and yes I have been an avid watcher of the WWF for years ever since I was a little kid and I still watch WWF today.

Anyone in for it?

No, no, and no.

This is a forum based on DVDs and things related to DVDs.

There are MANY wrestling forums out there.

Interest in a forum is not the main reason for creating one.

Lastly, you can talk about the world of wrestling in Other Forum now. I have not seen hundreds of wrestling threads.

Can we have a flatulence forum while were making requests?

O-M-G I have heard it all. hahaha

When hell freezes over, pigs fly, and the unmoveable force blocking a Sports Forum finally moves, I would not be opposed to discussing wrestling in the Sports Forum. While the events are scripted, the level of athletic competition (yes, I said competition) leading up to and during the televised events rivals any non-scripted sporting event. Just as I think a Sports Forum should contain events that are more "athletic competition" than "sport" (figure skating, X-Games, for instance), it should also include wrestling, old school Harlem Globetrotters, and other semi-scripted athletic exhibitions.

I agree das...

ps.:

Randy is not an athletic supporter

das,

It's really not that bad. Geoff is thinking about a lot of possibilities, with a sports forum being one of them. Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean that it won't happen.

As I stated in my post in the Sports Forum thread, there will never ... ever ... be a Sports Forum. I guaranteed this 100%. Do you hear me, cruel masters of fate? I have now stated, in public, that there will never ... ever ... be a Sports Forum. What are you gonna do about it, Atropos? I'm calling you out. Spin your thread, and prove me wrong.

das

Wow, since when did you start running the show?

I think dM wants someone to prove him wrong. It is a kind of "magic". And it'll probably work!

You do what it takes, and I'm willing to take one for the team on this issue.

P.S. Thanks for actually reading my post.

Just place the topics in the soon to be sports forum. no need to have topics on everything in there own forum.

I don't think there should be a wrestling forum. If anything, wrestling threads should be encompassed in the Sports Forum if it becomes a reality. Until then, keeping them in Other is best. Besides, as Randy pointed out, there aren't nearly as many threads to warrant the creation of a wrestling forum.

LN & J, I don't think the mods need much convincing on this front.

Just putting in my 2 cents.

I'm a HUGE wrestling fan, but this forum does not need a wrestling sub-forum. TV talk, the sports forum (hopefully) or Other is a perfectly good place for a few threads.

In the mean time might I suggest 411wrestling.com or rec.sport.pro.wrestling

Hey, yo! I've got a survey for you -- who wants there to be a Sports Forum?

A Sports Forum would be just ... too ... sweeeeeeeeeeeet.

das

But wrestling, figure skating, and NASCAR would not belong in a Sports Forum, right?

Not unless hockey, soccer, golf, and tennis is allowed there.

I'm all for banning WWF talk altogether, but that may be going a little overbaord.

No wrestling can be discussed in the other until the sports forum

there's barely 5 threads per week about wrestling, no biggie at all

and i politely label all my wrestling threads

FOR WRESTLING FANS -

just so non wrestling fans know not to click on it

It appears that Geoff is already lining up sponsors...

Looks like it did. And people said I was crazy. I possess few powers other than an uncanny ability to watch many televisions at the same time for hours on end. One of those is that whenever I declare anything as a certainty, I am proven wrong. Now that I've learned to twist this in my favor, the universe is in for some big surprises.
