Wrestling, How old should your child be before watching?

I am two sons that want to watch wrestling (Monday night Raw), because the kids at school tell them about it. Of course they have wrestling figures and the wrestling ring, but isn't the wrestling to violent for kids in elementary school to watch!

No, its not all that violent, aslong as you make them realize that most of the stuff on theshows are faked and rehearsed, and choreographed. Come on, your kids see wose on the news, or, don't you let them watch that either?

it's true, it isn't that violent. Just look at it as a soap opera. But you do have to teach them to not copy what they do on tv. My brothers and I were raised watching that stuff and it never really did anything to us mentally. It also did not affect the violence in the family. It is just a bunch of guys getting beat up and hit. Like...Football =)

My kids are 5 and 6, so no they don't watch the news either. I know that its fake and rehearsed but kids at that age are very impressionable. I have also watched it growing up and I think that it is quite vulgar, some of the things they say and do.

Sure its vulgar, but here's a news flash, they're gonna see and hear it on the school yard. at least at home you can explain what everything means
