That's right, in another edition of Tapology Talks we bring to you pro wrestling! I've seen individual threads on pro wrestling, I've seen pro wrestling talk litter all over the "Slow Days" thread so why don't we try to manage the talk?

And what better way than to open up a Tapology Talks thread, amirite?

So to start the conversation, who here's a pro wrestling fan, when were you introduced to pro wrestling, your favorite wrestlers, etc. etc?

I became a pro wrestling fan in 2008, my first match I ever saw was WWE Raw with CM Punk vs MVP, my favorite wrestlers are CM Punk, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Daniel Bryan. I'm starting to watch pro wrestling again because CM Punk's slowly turning heel, and that's great news.

How bout you?

When I was in middle school I revealed to a couple of classmates that wrestling is scripted. They were not happy.

Liger is the greatest 50 plus year old wrestler ever. That match was awesome, I definitely didnt see them letting Liger go over Breeze that was kind of a shocker.

yea hes still awesome in ring . and it makes sense to me i didn't expect breeze to win. to have the Legendary Liger lose his one and only match in a wwe ring they would get hate forever from fans .

The second the match got announced, it was sort of obvious they were gonna let Liger go over. A legend who may only have that one match in a WWE ring? They'd be foolish to have him lose. Regardless, the match was good and seeing Liger was just cool.
