And yes it's a sport. Tonight in Manchester, England, Wayne Rooney slapped Wade Barrett. (Monday Night Raw). Giggs and Darren Fletcher in the house too. Great stuff.

No, it's theatre, don. Scripted, directed, acted. Physical theatre I grant you, but as much a sport as this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2ORZCdazM0They came to Sadler's Wells when I was working there in the late 80's. They were feckin' brilliant.

You can't compare it to that bimble. That's very harsh.
And with all the corruption coming to light in football and athletics, tell me what isn't fixed to some extent? I didn't go last night, but I've been a few times with my son. It's bloody brutal at times and some of the athleticism is outstanding. Great entertainment and they are worthy of being called sportsmen and women.

Does that mean pantomime is a sport as well? You have to change for that!

Great entertainment and they are worthy of being called sportsmen and women. I can and I do compare it, don. It's a show, nothing more nothing less and none the worse for that. Don't be silly: the fixing in other events is not the same at all, it's a few crooked people outside and inside those sports looking to make money off betting, whereas wrestling of that type is entertainment for entertainment's sake, no matter how fit and skilled the participants (like the dancers). Answer me this: can you go to a bookie and get a bet on a WWE bout?

Yes you can.
Just a few crooked people? You sure about that?

betwrestling.com/can-you-bet-on-wwe.htmlGo to any popular betting site too, Paddy Power is a good one. You can also do sports betting on darts. bimble go to Big Show and tell him wrestling is like post modern dancing and he'll sit on you until you change your mind. Which will be in about two seconds.

I think that the Benny Hill chase scenes should be a sport too.
