Not sure how many of you would have seen this but what do you think of Mayweather 'wrestling' at the upcoming Wrestlemania event?
Not sure what the match is going to be but it will be against a 7 foot plus dude, who has about 300lbs on the Pretty Boy.

I saw this signing on WWE. I don’t know what got into him on getting into wrestling. The 7 foot guy is Big Show and is one of the two tallest among the wrestlers. I don’t think that he could head one on one with the Big Show. Maybe I can call him as the Little Show.

Apparently in promoting the match. Merriweather was supposed to show up in the ring and punch the Big Show. Unfortunately, nobody ever taught him how to punch like a professional wrestler (kinda fake like with a minimal chance of hurting someone). Thus he hit him hard and broke his nose. It made for a cool visual though.
Here is a link to the youtube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocRuUgqDcFs

This is one of the reasons why a professional boxer shouldn’t wrestle. The players on WWE are just actors and can’t be called as an athlete because they are just doing what the script is telling them.

Why in the world would you say that? Have you seen some of the things these guys can do? It's not just your average everday joe who has the ability to perform a hurricanrana at a moment's notice. Or who can fling their high flying bodies around the ring. They can lift each other over their heads and take chair shots to the face. Of course they are athletes.

And as far as getting hurt goes, they definitely suffer real injuries. Owen Hart died in the ring. How real is that? Do you think that was scripted? Wrestlers are constantly having to take time off to heal separated shoulders, torn biceps, ACL tears, etc, etc. They work non stop 5 matches per week all year long. That's incredible.
For more info, pick up Mick Foley's book: Have a Nice Day. or click on the link below:

What do you mean by Owen hart dying in the ring? I know how he dies. He had an accident on a car. Have you known about the apparent death of Vince McMahon? It was just a fake.
Getting hurt is just part of the act! They are only acting, but sometimes things go wrong. This is the reason why are they saying to not do this at home.

Vince is always a genius in selling his payper views and most of this are really work. But as business point of view it good. and those kids will love it but for people who seen it and know real combats is merely a joke to see a boxer in a wrestlers shoe. as it totally different.

I completely go with Postman, Owen Hart met with a car accident which proved fatal for him.These WWE people tried to cash on this.They come to the ring fully planned and prepared. How can you miss out the moves where it is very obvious that when one is trying to lift the other wrestler, he gives full bounce to his body so that lifting becomes easier.If there is resistance I bet it is impossible to lift such massive bodies.But nothing wrong in it, it is just like any other soap opera,which entertains viewers.
