The Cum Doctor Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Then they want a superstar, but a sports entertainer is basically a wrestler. Just a roundabout way of saying it. Â And I thought we were over the WWE not using wrestling thing now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Rob Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I think SuperstarNeilC said what we were all thinking there, masterful post. And thought-provoking to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Yes, but a sports entertainer as you call it is basically somone who can wrestle but also has charisma and character. The ability to actually wrestle is secondary to other "qualities" with WWE now though, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rob Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Just to set the record straight, a pro wrestler and a sports entertainer are exactly the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Dunno, Rob - I always felt "sports entertainer" was more about the style than the actual job. At the very least, it should be - makes it easier to differentiate when discussing how a wrestler adapts to or works with said style. WWE has sports entertainers, lucha has luchadors, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Yes. Because he's a wrestler. I'm not a fan of the "sports entertainment" phrase though in ANY case. Y'see, here's where I have a problem, as today I see sports entertainers actually wrestling less & less. Davey Richards is a wrestler in the traditional sense as far as I'm concerned, even if he does lack the qualities needed to be a "sports entertainer". Â For that reason I would be incredibly surprised if he ever got anywhere with a company such as WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWE has sports entertainers, lucha has luchadors, etc. Luchadors are called luchadors because of the language different though, it essentially means wrestler. Put like this - if WWE went mental, actually signed Davey Richards, put him straight on TV and didn't ask/tell him to change his style at all, he'd be a sports entertainer, even though it's exactly the same act as he was doing on the indies as a "wrestler". It's just a WWE buzzword, just like "diva". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
