[ { "content": "Hey did you ever watch the XFL back in the day? It was the one created by Vince McMahon I think", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "I never saw that one. I only watched the regular NFL", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Yes it was created by the person who created the WWE, so it's kind of based on wrestling in a way, I guess it's coming back which is interesting because I think the NFL could use some competition", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Yes I wonder what they will pay the players? Pro football players do well now but back in the 60's bowlers made more.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Yep you're right about that. I don't know how popular will be so I don't know how much money they'll make but it is interesting that the salaries of the sports have changed over time like you mentioned", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Yes some players really deserve the big money - like the Patriots Green-Ellis who has never fumbled the football his whole NFL career", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Yeah they should definitely pay him a lot of money, he's amazing! Have you ever watched a game on the television? The yellow line that marks the first down is actually something that was developed by ESPN and they won an Emmy for it", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "That is a very cool invention. I thought the Super Bowl was boring this year but it had to have been better than the Georgia Tech win 222-0.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Yep that game would have been a blowout and very boring haha. Good on Georgia Tech though, Cumberland fans must have been very disappointed that day", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "I cannot imagine were still there by halftime! Its funny despite the big salaries in the NFL an engineer usually makes a higher lifetime income", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "I wouldn't think that would happen youre right, what do you think about how NFL players treat the cheerleaders though?", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Its awful! New Orleans won't even let the cheerleaders in the same restaurant as a player. What would they do if a woman ever joined the league?", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Yep that's a great point! Would the girl have to not meet with the other players in restaurants?

Watching it in turkey might be more interesting - they douse themselves in olive oil!", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "That sounds really slippery haha. What do you think about Macho Man's outfit design? Apparently the same designer made clothes for Aerosmith and also Jimi Hendrix", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "They have some bizarre clothing. I just would not want to arm wrestle Cyplenkov - that dude is strong!", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "No definitely not! Apparently wrestling is very popular though, and they have Incorporated the moves into a lot of other hand to hand combat systems which is interesting", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Yes I find sumo wrestling in Japan interesting - those guys do not seem to be the most fit", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Yes I could see that being very interesting to watch. they should use the tracking chips from the NFL and put them on wrestlers to better understand how they do their moves", "from": "agent_1" } ]

Macho Man Randy savage used to be as football payers before he started wrestling\n", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Nice.

U of Iowa painted the visitor locker room pink\n", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Is that supposed to have some kind of effect on them?", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "No idea.

Nice chatting with you.", "from": "agent_1" } ]

[ { "content": "So, you familiar at all with wrestling? I used to watch it regularly (that is, TV wrestling) years ago, but haven't seen it in awhile.

I find that amazing!", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "It is surprising to say the least. I used to sell coca-cola at pro wrestling matches when I was 12. Of course it was fake. Wrestling can be entertainment or true competition.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "I've got a friend who was a wrestler (not professional but still) and he always preferred the term \"scripted\". Tell him it was fake and he's liable to body slam ya and say, \"Did that feel fake, to you?\": LOL. My brother used to wrestle in high school, course he was the sports guy in our family so he did about every sport imaginable.

Did you ever meet anyone famous while selling cola at events? ", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "There was a wrestler named Gorgeous George who was semi famous year's ago. Even Plato wrestled before he decided to start writing smart things.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Believe it or not, I know a bit about Gorgeous George, he's the guy who really defined being a heel: going around calling people \"peasants\" and trying to be the daintiest wrestler he could, having a valet spray perfume on the other wrestlers and the audience... hilarious stuff", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Well, I met him one evening when he toured to wrestle in my home town (Oklahoma City). He is sort of like Ali and Dieon Sanders who made themselves more famous by far out behavior. Great marketing of self. Football did some marketing to go from paying less than top bowlers in 1960 to salaries today.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Yeah, I've heard about that.. I've been told back then bowling was a way bigger deal than it was now, they even had celebrity bowling shows and stuff. Seems unfair that bowlers made more considering football is more dangerous, injury wise. Did you know, there's actually no rule in the NFL barring women from being football players? If they pass the requirements, that is...", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "I doubt that we will see any female in the game except maybe for a kicker. I love the yellow line marking the line to reach for a first down that ESPN developed.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Yeah, it's amazing how detailed they can get with the graphics on football games nowadays. I remember back when it was just one guy (usually Madden) and he had to \"draw in\" the white line pointing to everything. (\"And you got the guy going here...\") hehe. So, did you play any sports when you were younger?", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "I played football in high school. But I was a back-up at QB and only got on the field as a corner back on defense. I never saw anything as debilitating as the pink visitor's room at Iowa University.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Yeah, isn't that a trip? Pink has a psychological effect on people. They say they did a study where the turned a weight room pink and found the lifters suddenly couldn't lift as much as they normally could. Me, like I said, I was never much a sports player, but my brother got a football scholarship to college.", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "That's great for you brother and for your parents. I have heard that about the effects of pink walls. When I was on our JV, we played the varsity of another school and lost 74-0 which does not compare to the highest score by Georgia Tech of 222-0", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Oh man, can't imagine what a blow to one's self-esteem losing 222 to zero would be! Especially crazy considering the average NFL game only has 11 minutes of live gameplay. I think after the first 100 points you'd be like, \"Uh, can we just forfeit, please?\" LOL", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "No doubt about it. I think in our blow-out they let the clock run continuously even after incomplete passes. Did you watch the 2 of the 32 NFL teams square of in the Super Bowl last Sunday?", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "No, I missed it. Heard a lot people say it wasn't the most exciting of games though. Many were even ragging on Maroon 5 for playing the half-time show. Hey, get this, do you know they put chips in the players shoulder pads and the football to track movements? Neat, huh?", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Technology continues to change our lives. That game is usually on the first Sunday of February and this year was no exception.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Some of the rules to play football are pretty strict. Did you know for instance if you're a cheerleader for the Saints, you're forbidden from EATING at the same restaurant as any NFL player, and if they happen to show up in the middle of their meal, they gotta leave? Guess they're serious about the no fraternizing rule...", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "I read that those chips are also in the football so they can tract the dimensions of forward passes and other things.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Yeah, it's probably helpful for keeping all the players stats up to date. Did you know patriots RB Benjarvus has never fumbling the football in his NFL career? That's pretty impressive considering how fast it can travel and all the other pressures.", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Sure is. By the way, I know track from tract. Just a type. Nice talking with you!", "from": "agent_2" } ]

[ { "content": "Do you like wrestling?", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "I'm not a huge fan of it, but part of it is due to that I don't understand all the logistics. What about you?", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "I used to watch it back before it exploded in poplularity in the 90s. Did you know that Plato lead a professional wrestling career before becoming a famous pholospher?", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Maybe something about wrestling made him philosophical. Abe Lincoln was also well-known for wrestling", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "I never knew that about Abe. I'm going to have to look that up.", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "He's actually in the wrestling hall of fame because he only lost 1 in 300 matches", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "I never ever heard that about him. He was pretty tall though so he probably had some good leverage. The Turkish national sport is oil wrestling where men douse themselves in olive oil and wrestle. That's kind of different...and odd at the same time. lol", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "That also sounds dangerous, which might be why it's not super popular", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Yes. The man who designed Macho Man's wrestling gear was also the same guy who designed clothes for a lot rock stars like Jimi Hendrix and Aerosmith.", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "He must have known what material to use. Do you know who Denis Cyplenkov is?", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "I've never heard of him. Who is he?", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "He's a bodybuilder and arm wrestling champion, which is aided by the fact that his hands are the largest and most densely muscled in the world", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Nice. Did you know that the university of Iowa's vistors locker room was painted pink?", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "That's either got to be a result of psychology or that's the color that was on sale", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "LOL Former Patriots running back Benjarvus Green Ellis never fumbled the ball once during his NFL career. Impressive indeed.", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "That's an impressive feat for just a season, let alone a whole career!", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "I agree! In the 1960's top bowlers made twice as much as the top football stars of the day. ", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "That was before ESPN came up with the nifty yellow first down line though. That's worth an Emmy, if you ask me", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "I agree! It comes in handy when we're watching the actual 11 minutes of live gameplay per game.", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "The embedded chips in the footballs and shoulder pads also help with that", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Yes.

[ { "content": "Are you a football fan?", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "I watch football every now and then, but I think the XFL is just a bad idea, regular football players are injured enough without adding \"extreme\" stuff to it.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "yeah, I think the XFL is a bad idea as well. Football is pretty extreme in my opinon. ", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Well since the found was Vince McMahon, it really is not a surprise he would try to start something like XFl. guess he wanted to try his hand at other sports.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Vince McMahon is hilarious though. Does he still do the WWE, or is it no good anymore? ", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Yeah he is still doing WWE and when he retires, which he should have done already since he is 73, his son in law will take over, and I do not think it will be any better under him.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "He's 73? Wholly molly, I'm not a huge fan of Shane though, is his son in law still Triple H? ", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Yeah Still HHH, Shane is alright, he runs the Smackdown brand while his sister runs the RAW brand, and Smackdown is actually much better than RAW, at least for now.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Interesting, you know a long time ago I met Hogan, Chris Benoit, Miss Elizabeth, Macho Man, Mr. Perfect at a bar in baltimore, The Marriot hotel bar. I have pictures with all of them, the only one that isn't dead is Hogan. ", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Yeah what happened to Chris Benoit was crazy, he was one of my favorite wrestlers when i was younger, until he decided to go crazy.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Yeah, I feel bad for him. Nash and Hall were there too. I can't remember if this was a WWC or WWF event. ", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "More than likely it was WCW, they were pretty big at that time.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Yeah, it was pretty cool.

What ever happened to Eric Bischoff? ", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "He managed RAW for a short time, but he is not really around any more, I think he still works fopr WWE but he is a higher up now", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Interesting. I thought he was funny. My favorite was Razor Ramon (Scott hall), but he is really messed up now. ", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Yeah Scott hall was pretty bad, but recently Diamond Dallas Page has gotten him started on his training and helped him get straightened out a lot.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "I saw that special on that. Pretty cool stuff. I think he needed some type of transplant too. ", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Yeah he did, but WWE has gone away from actual wrestling and stunts and more toward entertainment, The WWE does not even call them wrestlers anymore, they are called Superstars or entertainers, part of the reason the pg era is so bad.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Interesting, I didn't even know about this. It sounds awful now. Well nice chatting with you. ", "from": "agent_1" } ]

What do you think about the saints?", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Well I don't like the fact that they treat their cheerleaders poorly, but I'm sure they use tracking chips for players on the field, I wonder if they use those same chips to track the locations of their cheerleaders", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "Right, it is sexist. I am sure they do lol. Engineers who made those chips make more than most players do over their life", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "LOL you're right about that. I just don't know why you would need to know the balls rotational speed, it seems like just knowing the players locations and speed would be enough", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "For sure, but they need to be all high tech now. Do you watch college football at all?", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Time to time. I also watch some high school because my friend's son plays, it would be cool if Snoop Dogg made my friend's son a theme song for his football team", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "lol I would like that.

How do you think they get them up there?", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Yeah I've no idea!

Although I have read 1 thing I always thought. The sport can either be \"theatrical\" or competitive.", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "The theatrical side comes to my mind when I think wrestling.

They wrestle in olive oil!!", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Seems like a waste of olive oil, they should use cheaper stuff, like the budget brand from the supermarket.", "from": "agent_2" }, { "content": "LOL The good 'ole wesson oil!! Wonder if honest abe wrestled in oil.", "from": "agent_1" }, { "content": "Isn't oil good for a beard?

Nice chatting with you!", "from": "agent_1" } ]
