...e kung nanood ka naman ng palabas sa hbo, scripted din naman un ah ;).
pati ung "reality" tv shows, scripted din un. e.g. Survivor 2...sabi nung isa gusto nya naghanting ng baboy ramo...next episode, wouldn't you know it, a baboy ramo(ung bata pa, wala pang pangil) suddenly shows up near their camp...
naangasan din ako sa DX days sa WWF pati yung unang pasok ni stone cold, the ringmaster pa tawag sa kanya. sya yung million dollar champ ni ted dibiase.
hehehe. madalas niyo bang panoorin sa beta yung mga Wrestle Mania, Royal Rumble, Summer Slam, etc (single digit pa lang noon, ngayon Wrestle Mania 25 na ata?)
ako den addict sa WWF, mejo addict pa din hanggang ngayon hehehehe
c undertaker pa din favorite ko, hanggang ngayon buhay pa, ay wala na pala kse binaon sya ng buhay ng utol nya hehehe
pati c virgil na assistant ni ted dibiase naging wrestler din d ba? tapos nagpa gawa ng sariling belt c ted dibiase kse d sya manalo ng belt sa WWF, puro diamonds pa hehehehe
BTW, last week ata ive watched sgt. slaughter sa WWE. Kalaban niya yung bagito na naka-ripped na jeans. Na-slaughter si Sgt. Slaughter. Halatang matanda na. Nabigyan ng isang matindi tapos nung bumaksak hindi na makabangon. Pinuntahan na ng mga officials para mahinto yung laban.
ah...baka si Jaimie Noble un....naku, buking! Closet WWE fan!
re ung machoman-elizabeth nuptial...di ko nakita un, pero balita ko pinadalhan daw ng regalong ahas ni (who else) Jake the Snake Roberts...tinuklaw kuno si Machoman at nangisay...syempre, like all tru wrestlers, naghamunan cla sa ring.
btw, there's this short documentary shown on HBO every once in a while: Beyond the Mat ata eh...featured wrestlers e si Terry Funk, Jake the Snake, tsaka si Mick Foley
c Terry Funk nagretiro na permanently...
c Jake the Snake, naging addict
c Mick...ganun pa rin B)
Actually, the action in wrestling is not staged or pre-scripted... It's not possible to script all the movements in a ring... As confirmed dun sa EXPOSED about pro-wrestling, there is a system on hand... The wrestlers TELL each other the next 3 moves they want to execute the the other wrestler takes the hit... When the referee usually steps in, the ref tells the guys whether they need to do something more "daring" or finish the match if the crowd is peaking in intensity.
Basically all the movements of the wrestlers are made up on the spot and the sequence is dependent on how the crowd is reacting. Of course, if the wrestler is high profile like The Rock, Goldberg, Austin, etc. Then mas fluid yung sequence...
There are a lot of chit-chatting going on during a match na di lang naririnig ng mga tao...
Also, the blood scenes are real they cut themselves above the brow (where boxers usually bleed) with a small razor which is usually handed by the ref...
Kaya sometimes kung mukang totoo yung banatan ng magkalaban, may chance na nagpipikunan na sila talaga.
pero i love wrestling since i was in grade 5 hehe...
