I say yes. We have people from all over the usa not to mention the world. everyone has a favorite sport and i think some of the discussions would be good enough and wont drag into nonsense. we have stuff like the stanley cup playoffs the nba playoffs and soon the euro championships in football. Not to mention getting into the thick of baseball season. so i vote yes. plus i think wrestling would be alot easier if it was in sports as well.

I would be for a sports forum, but pro wrestling still belongs under tv imo.

originally i thought tv too. but then with mma and pay per views the way in which wrestling is described and talked about is more in line with sports in terms of matchups and outcomes.

Yes, because I find wrestling topics in TV irritating.

ive been to a few nascar races and honestly its all about the free booze and stuff they give away. its just one huge party. as for the athlete status it does take alot of endurance and training o be able to handle the force that comes from turning at such high speeds. i remember detailing the ttraining some guys go through like wearing weighted helmets to increase neck muscles while doing stuff around the house. just that sort of thing.

free booze?! i am officially a nascar fanatic now lol.
and yeah, i guess i was rather harsh saying they werent athletes, but i just cannot get into it. left turns all day long. WTF?! but its probably better live, like you said. same goes w/baseball, its soooo much better live. i still enjoy baseball on tv but the live atmosphere is awesome. i miss dodger stadium.
and dont get me started on soccer. the beautiful game is even prettier live.

when you look on tv and you see the seats empty even though the announcers say sellout, the fans are in the back where all the product vendors are at. when i went to the PIR event last fall they had a huge crown tent.sign up with a bogus name and address show id and sample. same for alot of other tents and vendor booths.

Depends what you're watching. If it's the WWE, it's awful live. It's hard to hear the guys when they're on the mic if you're in the cheap seats. Also, part of the fun of watching WWE on TV is making fun of all the stupid things that JR and Lawler say, and you don't get the commentary live.
If it's a smaller fed or an indy fed where the guys are actually paid to wrestle, then hell yes, it is awesome live.
