    I don’t think fans of pro “wrestling” would understand how fucking stupid that is. It’s like taking advantage of a mentally challenged kid, they don’t know the difference or why it’s wrong.

    Seriously, think about impossible it would be to keep resul—-[glass smashing] AUSTIN 3:16 MY MONEY IS OB STONE COLD YYYEEEAARRRHHHHH WRASSLIN

    Idiotic audience that has been groomed against recognizing corruption even when right in their face.

    “We’ll allow gambling on it for a certain amount of time, then we’ll turn the gambling off. Then we will tell the performers and the production crew who’s going to win and how the script should go, and then the match will happen.”

    To say you would have to be dumb as fuck to bet on a match would be doing a disservice to dumb fucks the world over.

    This shows how stupid they think wrestling fans are. I would bet they’re right.

    NFL legal language makes no claims of being “fair” and they get betting.

    So when a match that is advertised doesn’t happen cuz vince changes good mind last minute, what happens to the bets?

  7. haterhurter1 says

    hmmm, if you lost your bet could you sue saying you were cheated since it’s scripted and they choose the outcome?

  8. ghostoutlaw says

    I mean, you guys say it’s scripted. But as long as Vince is involved, it’s pretty much not with rewrites occurring as wrestlers walk down the ramp.

    I am 100% certain that is already happening as there were ads for different Wrestlemania prop bets during the show itself.

  10. KingGuy420 says

    Pre taped reality shows take bets… I’m not really sure why this would be any different.

  11. EchoPhi says

    I feel this is more of an /r/facepalm… Though very applicable here too.

  12. NoahVailability says

    This is begging to be as corrupt as possible.

  13. DamnBunny says

    O uO the house edge will be members of the family, WWE staff and Vince McFingers.
