Kropo asked me the same lame (with all do respect) question. I didn't answer him.
I'm assuming your reference was to some wrestling? I don't know, I never started watching it because I knew it was all ......... Operative word, "all".

MA- In regards to Politics, Religion, or relationships, I am not wondering about other peoples feelings as to why they believe or accept. It´s their belief and are completely entitled to it. People that worship God, Budda, Mohammed are content with their idea of religion. Those that have a problem with the "mainstream" start a cult.
Start up MotoMA if in your view of MotoGP is conspiracy .....
I don´t agree with religion, but I don´t go to the local cathedral and share my views. I don´t have time it, and the same with much of politics. As to relationships, seems like you must have a hard time with them, cause mine are all honest and real. Sad for you.

I like kropotkin found the wrestling somewhat diverting for a time even in adulthood precisely because it was obviously and unapologetically high farce, imo in the showbiz tradition which includes Shakespearean farce.
What I object to are sports which purport to be authentic but are not, such as when nascar employs the so-convenient flags to ensure last lap dices. I personally don't think that there has been any contriving of results in gp bike racing, think that the spanish riders who have won titles deserved them, and that pedrosa's taking out of hayden was akin to rossi taking out stoner at jerez in 2011, a fairly severe error of judgement in dani's case compounded by the championship situation at the time, but a racing incident, when he was a rookie.
The tolerance towards marquez's mounting tally of practice incidents is another matter, again imo, though.

Just a few Dennis Noyes tweets this morning. Nothing earth shattering, just thought I'd share since I was a bit bored.
Rossi is reasonable. By not swallowing saliva and recognizing defeat he demonstrated Casey did not know how to lose…this is the other side of the point.
Burgess said the difference between Rossi and Doohan was that Doohan liked to win while Rossi liked to ride. Casey was more like Mick.
I admire Stoner as a rider, but as a person I was afraid he would never be happy in MotoGP. I hope he enjoys his life in Australia.
Just the mention of VR incites passions. The problem for VR in 13 is that Jorge is not only fast but also headstrong like VR.
If you say something good about Rossi they tag you as a rossista [bopper]. If you criticize him you are anti-Rossi. It was the same with Sheene. I’ve seen this movie before.

I did post about pedrosa earlier, I think he is, as he has always been, as fast as any rider out there. He finally had an injury free season, and seems to have developed the ability to display the amazing speed he formerly had in 2 or 3 races a year much more consistently, perhaps because he has given up wanting the bike to be absolutely perfect before he shows his best. He still fell at the final hurdle though as far as I am concerned with his crash at PI, and was unfortunate but perhaps pushed too hard too soon in his other late season dnf. I still doubt his ability to take on rossi in a straight fight, and perhaps even his ability to have another injury-free season. Lorenzo is fantastic, and capable of riding virtually mistake free. He was fantastic in 2009 as well though, and put pressure on rossi who was then inarguably not far off his considerable peak, but rossi still prevailed.
It comes down imo to whether rossi has been affected mentally by his 2 years on the ducati. As someone said he can (probably quite justifiably if that matters) blame the bike. He doesn't have to race the guy who could (only to a degree in stoner's latter years at ducati) ride the bike he couldn't, only people who didn't as far as I can see establish any psychological dominance over him when they were all on factory hondas or yamahas.

If Rossi is affected mentally, i believe it will be more because of the rash of injuries that he experienced after being incredibly fortunate throughout the first 2/3 of his career. Pile on the death of his close friend, his age { wisdom} his financial situation, that all equates to losing just that razors edge that is the difference between favorite and contender. If HE believes his legacy has taken a hit, you might see something special, he is an egotistical ....... after all.

Yeah something like that. Its an idiom that can mean something like ‘bite your tongue’, ‘hold back your feelings’, or don’t mention your feelings’, or ‘don’t waste your breath’. Hahaha funny, Im replying you with idioms myself. Noyes speaks Spaniard Spanish which is slightly different than say Mexican Spanish. So, I’m just going by the context in which he said it. Baturo corrected me on Noyes use of “tiene la razon” which literally translated means ‘he has the reason’ but really does mean ‘he is right’. I knew this, but I dislike Rossi so much that I never think he’s right.
It sounds like it from his tweet. But honestly, I don’t understand how ‘twitter’ works, so it looks like it was part of a conversation he was having with somebody. Its like overhearing a phone conversation, you only know what the person you are hearing is saying.
The year, 2013. That is, next racing season.
Uhm, when was Roberts not the hero? Anyway, that depends on your definition of “hero”. In your eyes, was Stoner or Rossi the “hero” (in the context that Noyes speaks of them in today’s terms)? I know your answer, hahaha. So, Sheene was like Rossi in the sense that he was a self-promoter, flamboyant (though decidedly not like the “flamboyant” ‘gay’ type that is Rossi, sorry couldn’t resist), and he made quite a lot of money from pimping sponsors and making the sport more popular (like Rossi). He was (I know this because I was told by my Brit family) a guy who’s name was recognized by the typical housewife in the UK, I imagine VR is the same (ironically not just in Italy but also in the UK, as I was told). On the other hand, Sheene was a bit of a “whiner” too, like speaking out about safety and stupid stuff like that. So in this way, he was also like Stoner.
