its good clean fun. theres nothing wrong with it. if it was wrong and demeaning to little people, they wouldnt do it in the first place. as of the rodeo, we need something else besides concerts. fair numbers have been going down year after year. since we cant have fun stuff like truck and tractor pulls due to location and space, we need something else to bring the numbers in.

Kids today see more sex and violence on TV and on the street, so what is wrong with little people wrestling? Do you let your kids watch that fake crap on TV? I disagree with this being a bad move by the fair board, I think it is stepping outside of the box and maybe attracting others from out of state coming to our fair just to see these shows. People, lighten up, it is all entertainment, I see nothing wrong with it.

LRK - I agree with you and will pass on this and rodeo - family entertainment it is NOT.

I think some people are missing another important point. This is a 4-H Fair. This Micro Wrestling is teaching our children violence which leads to bullying and mimicing and inappropriate and dangerous behavior. This is not wholesome family entertainment for a 4-H Fair. Check out the link to Micro Wrestling on the fairs web site and tell me that is appropriate for a youth fair.

When I was younger most of the county fairs had wrestling shows, some of them had wrestlers taking on all comers from the audience for a prize, hence the name prize fighters. These shows are pure entertainment less violent than the old three stooges comedies and some of the kiddie catoons seen on TV today.

I would rather see this than scantily clad women wrestling in mud (I know, guys chill, will you?). I think this would be fun to watch for adults and kids.

If you haven't seen them, don't comment. I have. They are great actors & performers. Its half wrestling and half comedy acts. They are hilarious. It has nothing to do with thier size. There is no violence here compared with whats on TV or on video games kids watch all the time. I expect a huge turnout for it. The Fair board has hit a homeone with this.

Y yes it should. Y is there even a poll. They have to have jobs too. And if they enjoy doing it leave the little guys alone.. U people saying No. What are U afraid of. Like anything U have the choice to watch or don't. I think its disgusting how people can decide what some1s occupation should B. Oh U all don't see it that way. Maybe U should. If U don't like the violence don't show up to watch it. Plain simple and Blunt.. Have a great day Critics
