(...) The WWF (and wrestling in general) isn't rigged, it's predetermined. There's a difference. Rigged implies that it was done immorally or illegally. Wrestling matches are predetermined so that the storyline is followed, just like any other (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Well, ya, it's rigged. But so what? Look, even the WWF is rigged, but it is still true that: - being a WWF participant requires a great deal of skill. Falling HURTS if you don't do it right. - it's a gateway to even MORE rigged things. Name me (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
