    I don't watch wrestling tbh but don't get the hate. The girl achieved a lifelong dream of hers and reached the absolute pinnacle of her chosen proffesion. For some, that's an Olympic gold, a world cup medal, an Oscar or a Tony award or whatever. She's massively famous and is a really good representative of the Irish people and a role model as well.

    Why begrudge her getting celebrated in her own Country? It doesn't make sense to me.

    Because people, by and large, are *****. Begrudging *****.

    I don’t think many people are begrudging her - well done, congrats, worked hard, in great shape etc. I think people are slightly aghast at the idea it’s a sporting achievement though - it’s not like when Pádraig Harrington sank his putt to win a 2nd British Open in a row.

    You don't understand pro wrestling. You call them actors. That shows your hilarious ignorance to it.

    From Wikipedia:

    "She graduated with a degree in acting from the Dublin Institute of Technology, and has attended Columbia College Chicago and the Gaiety School of Acting."

    Whether you like it or not, Becky Lynch is an actor. She even has a degree in it.

    It is a bit weird that adults follow it though. I presume there’s a strong correlation between following it and also being a fan of Star Wars, wearing combat trousers, comics, computer games, and sporting a neckbeard?

    And wouldn't know a fanny from a split tennis ball, amirite Johnny?:P

    Loved Wrestling as kid, no idea about it now.

    I dont see the problem though. You only live on this planet once. Once you do no harm to nobody who cares what other people do.

    I'm sure most wrestling fans have jobs, work hard and their source of entertainment might be wrestling.

    Some of us like sport or movie's or music or what ever.

    Do what makes ya enjoy life.

    Whatever about peoples opinions of pro wrestling it's undeniable that Fergal Devitt is a sublime athlete. Look up his training regimes and what he does maintain that body at 37 yrs of age. Completely drug free.

    He honed his craft in Japan where he had the sh1t beaten out of in a training dojo for a couple of yrs. The Japs are very protective over their business and only real serious athletes make it over there.
