DCs keen on wrestling - how to deal?

[time4tea]

Hello

DS1 (nearly 7) and DS2 (nearly 4) have got interested in wrestling, constantly drawing pictures of wrestlers, and even having a go at working out (if you knew what absolute loafers me and their father are, you would find this very funny)

however, they want to watch wrestling on YouTube. We have shown them Olympic wresting, and Sumo, and watch with them, emphasising the sporting angle, and that it is done safely so as not to cause injury, rather than violently,
but they want to watch WWF, wrestlers with names like Big Poppa Pump the Undertaker etc - which I imagine is not on

does anyone have any experience of this? while there's no way DH and I want them watching something harmful, to be putting an absolute stop to any watching might be counter productive and make a phase last longer than it would have done if we were relaxed about it.

Its all stage-managed and a bit of fun, imho. don't you remember it all in the '70's?

Mine wrestle each other and their friends on the livingroom floor. A friend's ds goes to watch it live with his dad (both v mild people!)

Take a chill-pill, lady! If they show an interest in starting cage-fighting, that's a bit different!

we were watching Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks bouncing bellies yesterday, which I loved at 5pm on World of Sport (yes, I was around in the 70s)

its this American stuff I'm worried about, as with a British thing, I think they get the register a bit better, and get the joke.. IYSWIM
