also if you are entertained by a Van Damme movie, you are seeing a fake fight as well, well that is fake.
Wrestling is scripted, but let me assure you because I am a wrestler myself: is not fake, sure you hit not with full force and in certain areas, but it is a matter of millimeters and you can get seriously injured, not to say about being dropped on your neck, on the corner, or slammed, plus there are no months between matches, you go every week.
Because is entertaining, is fun to watch, and is a difficoult and dangerous performance, sice you have to let people do things to you no matter the danger.
who can appreciate this wathces wrestling
your a fuckin idiot! you answered your own question!! like you said,movies are fake to! so does that mean if you see a fight scene in a movie,you get up and walk out? im sure theres alot of things that entertain you,that wouldnt entetain me!! show tunes,and gay orgies for example! but i dont go looking for them either! so why did you click on a wrestling video,if you hate wrestling?
hillbilly jim was a man of the people. he would give you the shirt off his back….but not his overalls. if you asked for his overalls those would be fightin words. he was also known to really clean a chicken bone well.
Question for you WWE fans: You know it’s fake and still like it, why? I’m being serious and not snobbish. I mean we all know movies are fake and everyone loves them, theater has its own fans too…but wrestling, it seems ridiculous to be entertained by Fake fighting. Am I wrong?
It would have been a bit more believable if “Jim”, who didn’t seem to know what he was doing hadn’t put Heenan in a Full Nelson as soon as he came into the ring…..
Most of the more trusted reports I’ve heard said Andre was a solid 6’11”. That seems about right to me. Anything over 7′ is completely out of the question.
Yeah but no one in the history of Pro Wrestling has ever been able to “break out” from underneath the dreaded kiss of death that is the “World’s Strongest Man” gimmick.
You may get “saddled” with an angle… but it’s strictly up to the guy to break out and make a name for himself. Steve Austin was saddled with the Ringmaster gimmick…
The do exaggerated wrestler’s heights by a couple inches. You are wrong about Andre though. He was billed at 7’6″ and was actually 7’4″. He was not 6’10”. I think anyone could tell that by just looking at him.
Yeah at WM II Studd stood toe-to-toe with 6’5″ Bill Fralic and he was maybe 1/2″ taller at most. Most wrestler’s heights were greatly exaggerated. Adrian’s numbers match up with what I’ve heard from other sources.
– Where do you guys get your information? OMG was 6′ 9′ and weighed 468 lbs! Hogan in the ’80s was 6′ 8′. John Studd was 6′ 10′, Hillbilly Jim was 6′ 7′, Andre was 7′ 4′ and Bundy was 6′ 5′ and weighed 458 lbs. I know the WWF has lied about a lot of things, but wrestler’s physical proportions? C’mon! I KNOW that these heights were accurate because I’ve seen these guys in person! Granted Hogan is now about 6′ 5′ 1/2 because he stopped using in late ’91, but let’s get real!
– I’m just trying to get to the FACTS. When some people read things online, they take it as gospel. This Is how “rumors” or urban legends, if you will, get started! I remember the one about the Ultimate Warrior dying. The guy highlighted his hair and had his teeth capped, and some people assumed it was Kerry Von Erich! That rumor always irked me because the two clearly have different physiques! They even teamed together in World Class and at the 1990 Survivor Series! Ugh!
They are not rumors – it is just people posting what they “think” is correct. If you are right and they are wrong then fine but everyone has a right to post what they think

When did Edge turn on Hulk Hogan? They were WWE tag champs together.

If you think Andre was 6’11” then you just have no clue what you are talking about. He was 7’4″. I have seen the biography on A&E several times.

Lol, Bill Fralic was NOT 6’10”. He was listed at 6’5″ when he played which is accurate. BJS was probably no more than 6’6″.
