I’ve recently become a huge fan of pro wrestling, if only ironically. The melodramatic promos, the ridiculous moves, the muscular men few Divas that don’t make my penis retract into my body. They’re all reasons why I love pro wrestling… at least, I did for a while… It all started when my friend and I rented WWE 2K14 for the PS3. We were expecting total garbage, but the game was amazing. There’s just something so satisfying and fun about that game. A big part of the fun was creating retarded characters in the “Create-A-Superstar” mode. In addition, the “30 Years of Wrestlemania” provided a lot of big laughs (the interviews from the first 6 years or so are spectacular) and some memorable matches (my favorite is the one where Stone Cold passed …show more content…
Hart hit the Hulkster with a quick ringbell shot, but the Hulkster was unfazed. Stone Cold threw the Hitman out of the ring, then hit him with the same bell that was meant to bust the Hulkster’s head open. The Hitman was, in fact, busted wide open, and Steve Austin hit him with a Sharpshooter, refusing to let go until the Hitman passed out. Steve then beat him with a bat a few times, then threw his body into the crowd, where he was taken back to the lair of a legion of cultist fans and never seen again. With two faces to one heel, the Giant was visibly worried about the match. Suddenly, about twenty wrestlers entered the ring simultaneously. Stone Cold tried to hit Kofi Kingston with the quick stunner, but Kofi jumped over him and hit him with his best Jackie Chan moves. Stone Cold was turned into a gold statue immediately upon impact. The Ultimate Warrior swung the statue around, crushing Kofi, as well as Shawn Michaels and Edge. Eventually, the torque was too much, and the Warrior lost both his arms. Don’t worry; they grew back in a matter of …show more content…
The few remaining wrestlers, the noteworthy ones being Ricky Steamboat and Rey Mysterio, knew what was coming. Ricky turned into a dragon and fled the stadium. Meanwhile, Rey put both his hands straight in the air, lifting off the ground and slowly accelerating towards the heavens. The Hulkster pointed to the few living crowd members, and began what is traditionally known in weeb circles as the “Super Saiyan Shout.” Hogan stood the Giant up, got him locked in, then hit with a ferocious body slam. An explosion of unprecedented size destroyed the arena, and it was a few minutes before the smoke cleared. Although the arena was but a crater, as was all of Earth, the Hulkster stood in the wreckage. He was the WWE champion, if only because everybody else on Earth was
When the father slaps his son, he is doing it out of fear that his son will be better than him. He is scared that there will always be someone better than him. He used violence so that it would not seem like his son was better than him. Inside he was starting to realize that his son is better than him. He did not want those three hundred people to think that he was not the best. Crutcher writes, “Three-year three-sport letterman at Coho High School in the mid-1950s and number two wrestler at 177 at the university of oklahoma after that. Number two is mysteriously absent from his version.” In the father’s wrestling career he was always number two, and not the best. He is scared of that, especially if it is his son who is better than him. This proves that the father is a fearful character because he is scared of being weak, and not being the
To begin the description of my experience, I arrived at the arena shortly before the
Randy then turn him over onto his back and head butted him causing his nose to bleed.
"They (wrestlers) think they are indestructible. But I’ll tell you what -- those three athletes thought they were indestructible, too. And they aren’t around to talk about it."Wrestlers believe that it is mind over body; they can accomplish anything and nothing bad will ever happen to them. So, LaRosa’s behavior on that fatal day in November wasn’t anything out of the ordinary for many college wrestlers. He was wearing sweats over a rubber suit and riding a stationary bike in a steam-filled shower room. His body temperature reached 108 degrees. He was trying to make weight for his match the next day, and wrestling’s rules did little to discourage such dangerous practices. The logic in wrestling is to make the lowest weight you can in the weigh-ins, which are 24 hours before the match. Then you can replenish and rehydrate your body over the course of the 24 hours between the weigh-in and the match. This will give you an advantage in the competition because you really will be bigger and stronger then most of the wrestlers in that lower weight class.
Before the company started their drug testing policies the death of wrestlers were increasing. Wresters would admit to using drugs during the time they were working for World Wrestling Entertainment. Levy stated, He used steroids and more than 200 pain pills daily before he kicked the habit a few years ago”(Behind Fun Façade…). This was the way to help wrestlers from feeling the pain but to also keep ...
Today I am taking a break from the series of articles I usually write, to bring you a subject I have thought about for a long time. I only started paying attention to wrestling in my teen years, so the "Attitude Era" was what I considered wrestling. I won't go into what made the era special, because that would be insulting to your intelligence, everyone knows what made the era successful, and why some fans still pine for it. Needless to say, it was "cool", it suited the times, and it broke the mold formed over the previous decades.
Steve Austin's strength is envied by some of the world's best wrestlers. This is to be expected because for any man to become Heavy Weight Champion, he would have to be strong. On numerous occasions he has lifted 300 pound men over his head and tossed them out of the ring into the crowd, or body slammed them into tables with ease. "Stone Cold" has been faced with some of the most difficult tests of strength, like when he faced Mankind, a notoriously strong wrestler. When Austin gained the upper hand in the match, Mankind's tag team partner, 355 pound Kane, stepped into the ring to help. However, Kane's strength combined with Mankind's was no match for the "Stone Cold Stunner". The "Stunner" is Austin's finishing move ,in which he grasps his opponent's neck, twists so they are back to back, then jumps into the air with the force of a rocket, and falls putting so much pressure on his neck that he goes unconscious. This powerful move gained Austin his fame and the loyalty he receives from his fans.
During my four years of high school I believe that my involvement in sports has helped me become a better person in life. I participated in varsity basketball and Track & Field all four years and my experience in both sports has taught me life lessons that I can carry with me for the rest of my life.
Billy Jack Haynes Vs Hercules. Actually rather fun for what it was, and I enjoyed the storyline behind it. Both look roided up|Though I could be wrong, but I doubt it| But it was still an interesting contest of power. Double count out ensures, with Hercules bloodying up Billy Jack at the end of the match, with his steel chain.
I'm proud to be a part of this fascinating establishment. Mainstream media be darned! To heck with those who look at professional wrestling through condescending eyes. Think what you will about wrestling fans. Personally, I hold them in the highest regard…and so should you because you never know when you'll happen to run into one.
Wrestling is a great sport to better yourself and earn a bunch of awards and titles to look back on later on in life. It 's something i will never forget and cherish always. But the memories of losing all the weight and making myself miserable for all those seasons is something i will not miss. People around me were only worried about the medals i had gotten and not about my personal being, that 's where wrestling goes wrong. That 's what needs to change in the future for not only wrestlers but the people around them as well.
CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, echoes through my head as I walk to the middle of the mat. "At 160lbs Aidan Conner of La Junta vs. Rodney Jones of Hotchkiss." All I can think of is every bead of sweat, every drip of blood, every mile, every push up, every tear. Why? All of this: just to be victorious. All in preparation for one match, six minutes. For some these six minutes may only be a glimpse, and then again for some it may be the biggest six minutes of their life. Many get the chance to experience it more than once. Some may work harder and want it more than others, but they may never get the chance. All they get is a moral victory. Every kid, every man comes into the tournament with a goal. For some is to win, for some is to place, others are just happy to qualify. These six minutes come on a cold frigid night in February at a place called the Pepsi Center. Once a year this gathering takes place when the small and the large, the best of the best, come to compete in front thousands of people. I am at the Colorado State Wrestling Championships.
Wrestlemania 20 is one of the greatest Wrestlemania's ever in my opinion, outside of a few lackluster matches. The atmosphere, and the electricity that was going on, amazed me. The Undertaker's return is chilling, and I loved the controversial crowd, even if they were dead for a few of the stuff, that they shouldn't have been. Every 10 years, Wrestlemania emanates from The Garden, so this was really special. There were so many great moments. Between Beniot's amazing title win, and Trish's shocking heel turn, it was just a great, riveting show all around, and remains one of my favorite Wrestlemania's.
Wrestling is personally, my favorite sport. You feel accomplished after every practice, and if you worked hard enough in practice it might pay off at a meet. This sport is a physical challenge to most people, If they're pushing themselves to their
Wrestling has grown to extensive amounts since it’s infancy. It has become one of the most organized and planned out sports in our Olympics, with some of the worlds most committed and die-hard fans to enter a stadium. Wrestling is still practiced almost everywhere in the world, whether it be in one of it’s more traditional forms, or the more modern one.
