WWE is not even a sport man.
A sport is a competition, WWE is entertainment scripted performances...

And the WWE games aren't even superior to Madden or FIFA/PES or NBA 2k

Paytaa2632d ago

Yeah WWE is scripted, but the toll it takes on one's body isn't really a joke. It's not like just anyone can wrestle in the WWE, TNA, or ROH.

You might say it isn't a sport, but the wrestlers are definitely athletes.

AcidDvl2632d ago (Edited 2632d ago )

But that was never in question. I never claimed the they aren't athletes or that it wasn't hard on them or even that they were a 'joke'. I never stated anything about the performers themselves...
This whole argument is a 'straw man'...

By definition, WWE is not a sport because there's no competition. No one is 'trying' to win, because the winners are chosen according to storylines

lodossrage2632d ago

@AcidDvl and Paytaa

I agree with both of you.

The fact of the matter is wrestling can't be classified as a sport because spots, winners/ losers, and champions are determined by the boss. That's why when wrestlers go to other places and try to out "4 time wwe/wcw/tna etc champion", I just say big deal. It just means you were champion 4 times because your boss liked your or you brought in $$$.

And at the same time, wrestling does take training and crafting. The pain and bruises are VERY real, scripted or not. And unless you're one of those giant big and/or fat guys, you better have some skills and be in shape. Especially with cardio. So yes, I would classify them as athletes.

At best you can say wrestlers are athletes of a "staged" sport. Or better yet the phrase "sports actors" is what they should really be called.

AcidDvl2632d ago (Edited 2632d ago )

It's not a sport, because there's no competition, they're performers.
With performances, no one's really competing in them.
If there isn't competition, it can't be considered a sport. People think that because it's 'physical'.

I never said it was 'easy' for the athletes or that they're not athletes or anything about them really... Of course it's hard, they're dropping themselves from ladders and being hit with steel chairs. That was never in question, but it's just not a sport, by pure definition.

I'm not 'hating' or taking anything away from the people who perform, it's just a fact...
PS: You started arguing a 'straw man'.

There hasn't been a good wrestling game since the games by AKI on the N64.

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo23h ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows9023h ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel198914h ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

Nooderus5h ago

"X" type of gamer conversations are cringe

qalpha23h ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno23h ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan23h ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno22h ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life198123h ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn66914h ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Gaming4Life19819h ago

I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.

Cacabunga1d 19h ago

Hopefully doesn’t take them a complete gen to release it

TheColbertinator1d 13h ago

Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.

Stopac1d 11h ago

I too like to look for things in the wrong places.
