Famous people who have achieved success way beyond their talent level

[Tal]

Now look at what you made me find nostalgically!



And, because of you, I've now realised that the single coolest thing ever when I was ten was actually rubbish.

Hope you're happy with yourself.

Can't believe how young they both look...

But come on, how on earth did the 123 kid beat Razor....? Talk about David Versus Goliath

Are you asking how one actor beat another actor in a scripted pseudo-fight?

Michael Mcintyre

Perhaps the most loathed comedian of our time. Perhaps the most commercially successful, too. There is probably a link between the two.

A peculiar British trait.

Went to see him live in London with an ex

The audience were laughing before he entered the stage which is a hell of an advantage for a comedian

If you could call him that

Actors?

[TightEnd]

stuntmen then?

scripted moves and bad scripts to a predominantly stupid audience (impressionable children apart), reckon any of "sports entertainment"is prime territory for this thread

Couldn't we say the same thing about most Hollywood movies?

Also do remember we're talking about talent here, not whether Wrestling is something that you'd watch on a Sunday afternoon or the demographics that watch it.

When I mentioned the Wrestlers or 'Performers' that I mentioned, I did so because I think within the Wrestling world their success far outweighed their talent.

Of course not

A good film with good actors and good screenplay/script against the money making lowest common denominator travesty to the human race that is Fixed wrestling in spandex masquerading as entertainement is absolutley no comparison at all

I think Tighty is giving wrestling too much credit here.

It's not fixed wrestling, it's 'Sports Entertainment' and scripted, it's for people to watch just like soap opera and just like soap operas it has it's fans and it's critics.

Line of the week, and not wrong.

We must remember, though, some people (even intelligent sorts like snoopy) actually believe in it, and enjoy it. Snoops has books, videos, pictures on his bedroom wall, the full works.

Each to their own. A very strange thing, though.

I should add that I don't actually watch the WWE anymore, it was more something I watched when I was younger, but have no issues with watching it..

Horses for courses I guess

[rfgqqabc]

I mean its obviously not great tv and I haven't watched it for years but it certainly can't be seen as much worse than corrie surely? Wrestling does at least have some degree of athleticism about it. I would definitely say it is better than some films. Probably a very small percentage though.

[s4ooter]

Lol at both 123 kid and jeff hardy weighing 212lbs....

Even that young JH sold everything so well.

Talking of Wrestlers that did better than they shoulda:

Goldberg
Stone cold
Andre the Giant
