Does your wife know that in WWE that they're not really fighting? Maybe you could try using an analogy to get her on board - tell her that WWE wrestling is no different than watching a fight in a movie, because one person is being paid to win the fight and the other person is being paid to lose the fight. They're taught how to stage the fight beforehand to make it look real, even though it really isn't. Let her know that all the moves are choreographed and both wrestlers know the outcome before the match even begins.She thinks that it Wrestling is too violent and that it is going to teach him bad things. I don't quite see it the same way. I hope I can talk her in to it because I think it would be a really good bonding experience.
She needs to relax and realize that boys will be boys.She thinks that it Wrestling is too violent and that it is going to teach him bad things. I don't quite see it the same way. I hope I can talk her in to it because I think it would be a really good bonding experience.
The bolded is a great point. They are stunt men AND this it is dangerous, but to say it's not "real" will probably disappoint him a lot (fighting is genetically ingrained, don't bother FIGHTING it, haha).I say yeah - go for it, but be sure that your boy understands that what they are seeing it not "real". It's more like television and the movies where people are playing characters in order to tell a story and entertain an audience. Also, he should understand the the people they are watching are basically professional stunt men and that the things they do are very real, quite dangerous, and should not be tried at home.
