Former Vol Becomes Wrestler

[sigchig]

I love wrestling, but i know what it is. Its people that don't understand what it is that bash it. Best of luck to him and id love to see him in the WWE one day, thats a tough, long road though.

Oh believe me, I know what it is. It is an insult to REAL Wrestling.

I was surprised to see that WrestleMania was still getting big numbers apparently they had 80,676 at MetLife Stadium last spring. A little less than 2,000 people of what the Super Bowl had!

This years event is being held in New Orleans at the Superdome

We have a good history in the Rasslin' biz... Captain Lou Albano played under Neyland and I think was on our 1951 Championship team.

I never knew he played for UT.

I never knew he played for UT.

Yep, Captain Lou was roommates with Sam Rutigliano (Cleveland Browns Head Coach from 1978-1984) in 1951-52 at Tennessee and I remember an old interview of Rutigliano's where he talked about rooming with Albano.

Yep, Lou was expelled for cheating on a test.

The ref looks like Tim the toolman Taylor...Lmao

 

[Dave1967]

Well , he played on a fake team , so .....

He did play three years for a fake coach Derek Dumbass

I watched an interview with 1996 Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle where he explained how the fake version of Wrestling had taken much more of a toll on his body than the real version ever had. It is not surprising why so many of these guys die at a young age considering the abuse they put their bodies through. Yes it is staged, predictable and very cheesy (and mostly just talk from what I have seen lately) but the fake version has also been known to sell out 20,000 seat arenas which is something you will never see from the real version which only a select few major colleges even participate in anymore due to Title IX and the IOC recently tried to drop as a future Olympic sport.

Rampage Jackson said the same thing about it being tougher than UFC.

Rasslin results are scripted. The moves are choreographed to not hurt the human body as much as they pretend. However the physicality is very real. If he does it right, Hood will tell you that it's harder than college football (or real wrestling for that matter). Lawrence Taylor said "rasslin" was the hardest thing he's ever done physically. The Rock will prolly tell you the same thing.
