Mixed Martial Arts(MMA) K1 kickboxing, and of course American Football:-D. Edit: Smackdown and Raw are not sports that Sh!t is fake:trash. I can't belive you even put that garbage in the same catagory as boxing:nope:. You should change those two with some "Real" fighting organizations like UFC, or K1 or at least change it to Olympic wrestling.

@INF how fast can you throw a Baseball:smiley:. I remeber in Highschool most of the baseball players would murder kids in dodjeball because they had such good arms, I remeber one gym class one of my good friends that played baseball layed this kid out literally, Like he was out cold on the ground and the Impact of the ball sounded like a bomb when it connected to the kids face lol, the gym teacher and other kids had to help him back up. I'll never forget that gym class because I was texting on my phone when I herd a loud BOOM I look up and the whole gym was silent and this kid  was on the ground stiffer than cardboard, you could see a couple kids with their hands on there mouth gasping and then another group of kids pointing and laughing histarically, I was part of that group pointing and laughing I coulden't help myself it was just to funny:evil:. Ahh the good Ol days of Highschool lol

Another sport I forgot that I liked is Rugby, You have to have some balls to play a sport like that lol.

Dam thats pretty fast for a non pitcher:smiley:. Ya, defintely going to knock some teeth out if the dodjeball is thrown hard enough or if not that going to leave a mark for the next couple of days. I'm not sure how fast my  friend could throw  but he was a pitcher so prolly around 88mph or higher.

I didn't match is speed exactly I said 88 or higher most likely higher sense he was  a pitcher, he went on to play Baseball in college but I don't think he pitches anymore. And I never said I knew my friends pitching speed I only said he played Baseball and was a Pitcher:?. And 88 or higher was a perfect guess any way because think about, your going to have to have that type of  throwing speed or higher to lay someone out with a dodjeball anything below that speed would probaly not be able to do that. And how fast do you think good pitchers in Division 1 highschool are going to pitch??? 88-95mph, if really good higher than 95. So I really don't understand why you were trying to call me out on what I said???

Are you physically and mentally challeged??? "IT'FAKE YOU MORON". There not a dam thing about WWE or RAW that is "Real". You want to see "Real" wrestling then watch Olympic Wrestling where people have to use  "Real" skills and when you run the videos in slow motion you will see their is no "Fake" hits or slams lol .

Played my first match of Dodgeball yesterday evening.

We won 6-3

It was 4 athletic college kids vs a ragtag bunch of tatoo covered alcholics (us)

We had strength in numbers because 10 of us showed up on our team... against their 4. I am not sure if they had more teammates that just didn't bother to show up.  (you can have a max of 6 people on the court per team)

My throwing arm needs some work... Most everything I threw soared 5 feet above them. Didn't get any good hits, but I can dodge pretty decent and collect balls for my teammates.  All in all... it was a good workout.

LRA2 look at Brock Lesnar he did WWE for awhile and after awhile he got bored of it because he knew it was "Fake" so then he  came to the UFC. He is now a the UFC heavy weight champion.

I actually know from first-hand experience that WWE type wrestling is fake... My brother got involved with a wrestling association in Illinois for a while. He built the ring. They are actually built to make as much noise as possible form the slightest hit. Also, they are very well padded. I can body slam my self on it all day and it doesn't hurt a bit. Some rings actually have microphones built-in underneith that they can hook to the speakers for extra drama.
 
I went to one of the shows with my brother at one point to help set the ring up. They stage EVERYTHING! Down to actually planting antagonists in the crowd to egg people on.
 
I did get to meet "Cowboy" Bob Orton out of the deal though.
