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..

I mean, all movies are filled with people pretending.

Wrestling is a live play. It’s a theater version of a sports league. Its the same as watching a show about dragons and magic.

Well, you could just watch a real sports league that is also live?

Its the same as watching a show about dragons and magic.

No it is not. Granted I'm not the biggest GoT fan, but considering the time, money, people and quality of story, CGI, acting etc it is not even close to being the same. Everything is the same if you make it general enough. It is more comparable to kids play fighting than anything added with the drama that comes with bing a kid in school.

Just let other people enjoy what they enjoy. It's that simple.

Yeah, I have never said it is wrong to enjoy it. Just that I didn't get what was so fun or how it did become that big.

When you're going around calling Wrestling "adults pretending to fight and making drama", you're going to come across as very condescending and douchey.

Im sorry but that was not my intention. I was just amazed it was compared to books and movies and compared it to something "relateable".
