I can't believe so many people gave this episode a 10/10. This season is lacking, though there were a few good eps (The Ring, Fishsticks, Fatbeard, Butters Bottom Bitch) I've been less than impressed. Ep deserves a 6 at the most
I'm glad they stuck it to wrestling every way they could, but they're stretching for a good plot at this point. I guess there's only so much you can do after going strong for so many seasons.
Gee. Have you ever thought once.. just
once, that maybe someone has an opinion that differs from yours?
I don't know, have you? I was genuinely shocked that this would get ranked as one of the best eps of all time by so many people (that's what's implied with a 10/10). I've been watching SP since day one-when I was actually about the age of the characters in the show. I've watched this episode probably 3 times with all the repeats CC airs, it's grown on me a bit but still isn't high caliber SP.
I expected an epic battle between juggernaut and the rad russian, or at least a fallout at the end between Kyle and Cartman. There was an extreme drama/acting element but no jew/show biz jokes. Couldn't find the parody in the plot like they have in many episodes although my girlfriend told me they were ripping on the dance movie "Center Stage"... if that's true they really are stretching as I assume many of you are like me in the fact that you've never even heard of the movie.
I understand the hype of the new episode, just don't think it deserves to be up there with the likes of the jennifer lopez ep, christian rock, the little league ep, the volcano/hunting ep, chef's death, cheech and chong's tampons, towelie 1, garrison trying to get fired for being gay, the krips, goobacks, guitar hero, most of season 9, or any ep with butters featured.
I'm not a total hater of new SP either, although I found season 12 disappointing there were a few eps in season 13 that I have liked. There were plenty more that I didn't, and i'd rank the queefing episode as one of the worst of all time.
Not saying this was a bad ep, just don't think it was in the top tier of best SP eps like so many people have said.
I figured they were ripping on wrestling. You know as in it's all fake and it's a bunch of big guys dressing up and doing stunts. not a real sport. It's all more teatrics than anything else.
I really liked how there was no fighting at all untill the end and even then verybody thought the real fight was lame.
Jeesus! I loved this episode. I remember posting on another forum quite a while ago that wrestling is "gay". It was meant more of a joke. You now all the customes and guys rolling all over the ring with each other. Well mod there took offence to that statement and actually gave me a warning!
I so hope he gets to see this sode of SP and realise how right I am. *Cartman going ha ha ha HA HA! Nya nya nya nya NYA NYA!
