I can already tell you he won't accept any high school argument, he wants you to show an example of women beating men at the highest level possible in a physical sport. Ain't no point in debating when you give him easy posts to reply to so he can ignore my questiosn
Sorry, I wasn’t ignoring your question. Was leaving work after my last post.
I understand their needs to be a certain level of suspension of disbelief to enjoy pro wrestling. I.E. a piledriver not crippling someone. And theres a fairly established baseline for what’s acceptable, like Chair Shots not being finishers.
But I prefer it to be presented as “realistic” as possible.
I hated the Fiend no selling a dozen Curb Stomps at HITC.
I’m not a fan of these no psychology Meltzer 5 star spotfests like Gargano vs Cole where they spam finishers with constant false finishes for 25 minutes.
I dislike Rey Mysterio going over Heavyweights due to the ridiculous size/strength disadvantages.
And I hated the cartoonish supernatural shit WWE always did with the Undertaker.
Because the optics of these things seem ridiculous. Inter gender wrestling falls into this category for my personal taste.
I was a competitive athlete all the way thru college and I’m well aware of the MASSIVE speed/strength/durability advantages between men and women, which becomes even greater as the levels of competition get higher. It’s literally why the separate the sexes in the first place. So my brain can’t uncondition these biological facts to enjoy Tessa beating men. It becomes as corny as the Undertaker shooting lightning bolts from his hands. Regardless of what you think about Sami Callahan, Impact is presenting him as a top level competitor, in which Tessa would have no chance.
There’s a reason why the UFC never tried to capitalize on intergender fights with Ronda Rousey at the height of her popularity or why no governing body would sanction it. Ronda vs a slob off the couch, sure she would win. Ronda vs a trained 135lb male, forget it, she’d get killed.
I do not hate women or women athletes. I’ve always supported Title IX at the amateur level and think it’s a good thing for sports.
I enjoyed the Wonder Woman movies as much as the next guy because in that universe she’s an amazon with super strength. If this was Lucha Underground and Tessa’s character was a space alien with super powers than I could get behind it.
But as far as I know, pro wrestling is supposed to be set in the real world in real world conditions. So telling me Tessa Blanchard could beat the World Champion man despite overwhelming biological disadvantages is like saying Brittany Griener could beat LeBron in a game of 1 on 1.
