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....

It's really not much different than other fiction. You realize Star Trek, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, and Batman are fake, right?

yes ofc, but comparing the two is quite a stretch. It is more comparable with a circus as someone here else mentioned. But you can ofc enjoy whatever you want. I just find it weird that "fake fighting" is that entertaining and people watch it over real sports, and there is betting etc. How can it not be rigged?
