WWE superstar Darren Young comes out as gay

What does a gay pride parade have to do with a wrestler being honest about who he is?

EPIC post fail.

 

Look...if you are going to argue a point and defend a statement you have made...you have to use at the very least a line of logic or provide a link to a source detailing scientific facts to back your statement.

You have not done this.

The epic fail is pulling a post out of the ether and suggesting it is an argument against the argument on page 1. ie... out of context.

The funniest part is that given the source... it is probably fake.

But people are here arguing that the WRESTLING STUNTS are "real".

 

If you can't bet on it, it is not a legitimate sport...the reason betting on professional wrestling is disallowed in most Las Vegas venues is because of the fixed element to the competition. It is scripted. Are the stunts real? Yes you can't fake jumping off of a 12' ladder, doing a flip and landing on the back of your opponent. They are legitimate stunt men who take real risks in the stunts they perform. The competition itself is what is illegitimate. I have no interest in scripted competition...perhaps for the stunt elements it may be entertaining, but beyond that it's the equivalent to a circus.

 

Eloquently put. As I pointed out, it's a form of story-telling. For some, it's entertaining, for others, it's lowbrow. Either way, you can't really doubt the dedication these people have to what they do. Some of the longest-serving wrestlers have had a career of more than twenty years.

Also, is your screenname derived from you flying C-130s?

 

They are athletes in the purest sense, however the forum is entertainment based rather than competition.
A 240 lb man lifting an average person like myself up in the air and throwing me on to a folding table would probably cause severe injury if I landed incorrectly..a person who is not trained in how to fall, and who is not physically conditioned to a high level. Anyone who suggests the stunts are fake should climb into the ring and try it...maybe the punches are pulled in the grappling portions, but some of the more elaborate stunts take athletic skill.

Regarding your question, I'm a former flyer of the Herky bird...C-130H2
Affirmative.
Emphasis on former.

 

Don't fall for the bait...Its not his fault if he likes hairy women too.

 

And yet there has only been one death during a football game and that was from a wait for it....wait for it....heart attack!!! There is nothing fake about the dangers of professional wrestling, the injuries are real, ask Kurt Angle, Steve Austin, about their numerous neck injuries and surgeries...your arrogance is hilarious.

Yet they are both multi billion dollar industries....and as far as the IQ scale....you do realize that NASCAR is very heavy in engineering, and some of the greatest engineers in the automotive industry work in NASCAR.

Strawman, sorry but the dangers are real, all it takes is one little mistake.

 

The former players with spinal injuries and brain damage from repeated collisions would take issue with your dismissal of the violence inherent in football.

Kids riding skateboards also suffer some pretty severe injuries. Is skateboarding more violent than football? Most people would say no.

I don't deny wrestlers get hurt engaging in their stagecraft but the bottom line is the violence is fake and pre planned.

You want real? Have a 240 pound monster that looks like Mr. America and runs a 4.4 forty yard dash hit you head on. You will know what real violence is (assuming your cognitive skills have not been terminated by the pounding). Wrestling is a sham! Didn't you know?

I'm speaking of the fan base....people that get worked up
over cartoonish "violence" that is played out for the benefit of mostly teenaged males by outrageous characters in bikini shorts.
It's absurd.

As I said, fake violence normally produces fake danger, by and large. People also get hurt staging stunts for the movies. But the purpose is the same as wrestling: to give the illusion of danger.

 

If you didn't catch Raw this week, Darren Young's Prime Time Players took on the stable of Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger. Darren Young got the pin for the win. The announcers teased that they were in the hunt for the Tag Team titles now.

How I see that playing out is that when they capture the belts from The Shield at the next pay-per-view, The Shield will start an internal fight. Cesaro and Swagger, who with their manager--Zeb Colter--have a Tea Party gimmick, will become the number one contender, and Colter will use the rhetoric that Darren Young is gay against the new champs. Prime Time Players will likely retain and lose to a different team down the road.

 

Not sure exactly how it will go down, but they're certainly going to get a push, which I knew was going to happen. Doesn't bother me, I like Darren and Titus, especially Titus, although the WWEs motive for finally pushing them is certainly questionable.

 

I don't see it as questionable at all. I'd bet there were a few more gays who tuned into Raw this week to see what they'd do to acknowledge the real-life occurrence.

I too, like Darren and Titus. Both of them have a decent amount of potential.

The tag team division needed something to revitalize it, and since WWE Creative has been pretty mediocre over the past year or so, this was quite a fateful gift.

There's a small chance that this could all be a work, but I'm not so sure. Time will tell. Hell, we still don't know the whole story behind the Montreal Screwjob. In fact, a wrestling conspiracy theorist could easily say it was. Why would Colter, someone who is clearly pro-America, take on a guy who just a few months ago was saying he was proud he was Swiss if it wasn't to form a tag team without there being another decent heel available/

Either way, for me, it's quite entertaining television, and I look forward to trying to figure out where WWE will take it. One of the writers on Bleacher Report pretty much pegged the events of SummerSlam regarding the WWE Championship to a tee.

 

I think it was a commentary on the incidious and perverse behaviors of the homosexual community and the incompetent and inobservant progressive leftists who ignore sexual antics or excuse them as normal. So, in reality, it is a response fail, not a post fail.

 

Seriously? I did do it, in response you ignored the main points with some trite bainality. So. in short, I did introduce a line of logic along with a defense and you brushed that aside for some transitory element while leaving the important on the side line. You have to make your block, run your route, or cover your zone to make a play.

 

What does it matter to you what two people do in a bedroom?

Before you answer that, though, I think you should remember that, since we live in a society where everyone is supposed to be equally protected, you are opening yourself up to invasions of privacy if you think gays should be outlawed.

 

To be fair, this is what I said.

That homosexuality is not a genetic mutation. It is a destructive personal mental disorder that has mutated in to a destructive social disorder.

There is no good whatsoever in the homosexual 'lifestyle' and their behaviors are 'disturbed and perverse' and there is no social benefit of any kind, except degradaion, but that is not a benefit, is it?

 

I couldn't care less. But they are the perverts who insist on making it public. Once they return to the closet where they belong, all will be right in the world, well, except for progressive leftists and Islamo's.

 

Homosexuality has been around since the dawn of time, and look at where we are. We have advanced farther than any other species on Earth. Your points are inconclusive, moronic, inflammatory, and frankly unsubstantiated.

Hmm, I see more women showing off their tits than gay people showing anything indecent. Then again, you consider the mere existence of homosexuals indecent. Get a life, get out of ours. You're just a worthless BULLY. You don't feel good about your own life, so you have to blame it on others. Fifty years ago, you would have blamed it on the Judeo-Negro conspiracy, but now that they've won, you have to blame it on the Homo-Islamists. Grow up, you're a pathetic waste of carbon that'd better be served fertilizing some farm field.

 

And that makes it OK. Not! At best they are an evolutionary eddy where moral sludge collects and putifies. I love my life. It is near perfect. I am not a bully, I tell the truth. I can not blame others for who or what they are, they simply are. All I am saying is that they should remain in the closet and concealed by the shawdows with the rest of the lunatic fringe in their useless endeavors to be realevant.

 

You're not a bully, yet you just called every gay "moral sludge" ??

If your life is "near perfect", then live that life, and stop trying to interfere with others lives. I'm starting to think you're spending so much time railing against us because secretly in the boys room in school, you got a little tingly feeling seeing one of the jocks next to you undressing and got called out on it, so now you have to prove to the whole world that you're NOT in any way gay, but you still think about that one day every day and have to shake it off and tell yourself that you're straight, because that's the only way your God will let you into Heaven. I got news for you pally, God gave ten commandments, and one of them was LOVE THY NEIGHBOR. You and I are going to the same Hell. I'll enjoy Hell, I know it's one Hell of a party. You....ehh not so much.

What a simple concept.

You have no idea just how good your life is because of gays, you owe that very computer to at least ONE gay, Alan Turing, without his concepts, modern computing would be a lot less advanced than it currently is.

 

Truth is lethal. Then the "Ye ol' let me live my life, oh by the way you must be a closet gay because you spend so much time 'railing' against us" tripe. How utterly small and trite that is. But, be that as it may, love thy neighbor is useless if you do not tell them the truth, which is not part of the ten commandments, it is from the sermon on the mount. But since you bring it up, I did not, we are all under the curse of sin, the difference is I am forgiven because I have accepted the free gift of salvation through the blood of Christ and I do not pretend I am perfect because I am not. Hell will be no party, even though AC/DC tried to convince us that it is. It will be a place of lonely torment. No ones life is good because of gays, what a rediculous notion, and that is espacially true for gays. Turing madea contribution to society because he was intelligent, not because he was gay.

 

I've read some pretty hateful refuse on this site, but this one takes the cake for me so far.

 

Hateful? Really? How is that?

 

"No ones life is good because of gays"

I'm sure there's straight people with gay family members who might object slightly to that utterly bileful statement.

 

They might contribute in some fashion, but not because they are gay.
