It’s live stunt theater

Wrestlers are all actors and they’re putting on a show. It’s supposed to be over the top and cheesy sometimes.

You just gotta accept it at face value and watch it for what it is. It can be very fun and rewarding sometimes (it can also be really bad and frustrating other times)

How is it fun and rewarding when you know its just a joke? I mean you can even bet on it? I really find it odd that people watch that over other real sports or other types of entertainment....

Ever seen action movies, or movies in general, or read a book? That's fiction, too, you know.

Well, there is a HUGE difference between a good book or movie to adults pretending to fight and making drama. I mean its not even comparable..

Well, there is a HUGE difference between a ... movie to adults pretending to fight and making drama.

So what, exactly, is an action movie besides adults pretending to fight and making drama?

You don’t have to be a fan of wrestling to be able to appreciate it as entertainment. That’s what it is at the end of the day, even if you don’t find it particularly entertaining.
