Chapter 1343 Going to Watch a Game

Xiao Peng was driving when suddenly the car intercom rang.

"Khedira, what's the matter?" Xiao Peng pressed the talk button on the intercom.

Khedira said, "Boss, I want to thank you. I thought I'd missed this fight! But you even bought a premium seat and came with me to watch the fight. I didn't know you were interested in wrestling. Look, the boss and the others aren't interested in WWE!"

Khedira is actually a wrestling fan and loves watching wrestling matches. In fact, wrestling is very well developed in Europe, including Great Britain. There are many different wrestling organizations that hold wrestling shows.

This time they went to Amsterdam because the WWE European Tour was being held there and they went to watch the game.

There are at least 8,000 wrestling organizations around the world, large and small. The largest and most influential of these is undoubtedly WWE. It's a little hard to believe: WWE's television ratings in the US are many times higher than the NBA's, and its live audiences are far larger than the NBA's. It once set a record of 443,000 sold-out crowds! And WWE's influence isn't limited to the US; it's also incredibly influential in Europe!

If William knew that they were going to watch wrestling, he would definitely curse them: Aren’t you going to watch the ball game?

At that time, Xiao Peng would proudly tell him: WWE's female players all start with a D cup, so what else could that be but a 'ball'?

But to be honest, Xiao Peng had absolutely no interest in these wrestling matches. After hearing Khedira's words, he replied truthfully, "No, no, no, I don't like watching wrestling matches. They're all fake. What's the point? If you like fighting, why not go spar with Kasin or Hua Chong?"

The main reason he went with Khedira was to make a statement: You guys pissed me off! I just don't want to go looking for the Barents shipwreck!

Khedira said, "Boss, you're not right. Of course I know it's fake, but we all know action and martial arts movies are fake, but don't we still enjoy watching them? You have to look at wrestling from a different perspective. The most exciting thing about them is the plot. If you treat WWE as a 2,000-episode American TV series, you'll enjoy it. Don't just watch the performances in the ring."

Xiao Peng said helplessly, "I don't have the habit of chasing dramas, especially those with over 2,000 episodes. I'm free anyway, so I might as well go watch a live performance."

Khedira was stunned. "'Round-based performance'? Hey, boss, that's a pretty accurate description."

Isn't a WWE wrestling match a 'round-based show'? It's just you hit me for a while, then I hit you for a while.

Xiao Peng said with a smile: "Don't call me boss later. I rarely dress so flashy. You have to help me share the firepower!"

Khedira asked, puzzled, "Boss, what are you trying to do? You want to go out in such a flashy way and still have me share the firepower? There must be a lot of media people here today. You'll definitely be recognized if you go there, right? Boss, isn't that what you meant by 'covering your ears and stealing the bell'?"

Xiao Peng's face was filled with black lines. What Khedira said really made sense: "You are so smart. If you want to call me boss, then go ahead!"

"Boss, I have another question: Why do we have to drive so long to Amsterdam?" Khedira asked again.

Xiao Peng really didn't want to talk to him anymore: "Isn't it okay for me to show off this car?"

After hearing this, Khedira decisively shut up, but not long after, Xiao Peng heard his singing voice coming from the intercom again.

"Fuck, Khedira, can you shut up?" Xiao Peng complained, "Are you really that happy?"

Khedira said, "Boss, to be honest, what I admire most are the gladiators of ancient Greece, fighting against opponents and wild beasts. The battlefield was their everything! The most dazzling moment in life is standing on the fighting field facing the enemy, fighting for survival again and again!"

Xiao Peng said helplessly: "Khedira, have you watched too many movies?"

"Ah?" Khedira was stunned: "Boss, what did I say wrong?"

Xiao Peng said, "Think about it with your heels. How much effort goes into training a gladiator? You spend years training a gladiator, only to send him into the arena and turn him into a disposable item? Who would do such a stupid thing? Just like you like watching WWE, all WWE fighters have to go through training, right? Including performance, speech, wrestling moves, etc. If you painstakingly trained a WWE fighter and he died the moment he entered the ring, could you accept it? Moreover, gladiators were not slaves. In today's world, they are celebrities. They have the best food and the best drinks, and slaves to serve them. They have countless fans. You want him to die in battle? His fans will not agree!"

"Uh." Khedira asked in confusion after hearing Xiao Peng's words, "Did gladiators at that time either enter the arena or fight a desperate battle?"

Xiao Peng explained, "Yes, to be precise, the gladiators of that time were similar to the WWE you watch today, both of which were more of a performance. Of course, things like 'only one can survive in a group' or 'fighting with wild beasts' in movies and TV shows did happen, but life-and-death matches like this were rare, and the fighters weren't gladiators, but prisoners of war, slaves, or death row prisoners. It was also a form of execution during that period. So, do you still want to be a gladiator?"

"Boss, are you saying that the gladiators at that time were fake like WWE? They were just exhibition matches?" Khedira asked in disbelief.

Xiao Peng laughed and said, "Khedira, use your brain! Aren't you the smartest of the four of you? Think about it, back then, gladiators entered the arena and fought with real swords and guns. They had to look good, but no one had to die. What did they rely on? Of course, it was all about coordination between the two sides, ensuring both a good look and safety. So, you can think of the gladiators back then as being similar to today's WWE fighters."

"Boss, I kind of regret coming to watch the game with you. You ruined my dream!" Khedira screamed.

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We lack everything on the ship except for fighters. I'll organize a fighting tournament later. If you lose, I'll kill you. What do you think?"

Khedira pleaded directly, "Uh... Boss, gladiators are the most annoying! I don't like them at all!"

"No, no, no." Xiao Peng suddenly said, "I suddenly had an idea. We really need to organize some kind of competition on the ship, otherwise life at sea will be too boring!"

Khedira said helplessly: "Boss, if you want to beat someone up, just say so directly. Why use such an excuse?"

"Well……"
