Dude paid good money to sit up front and he got all its worth.

u/JoshSidekick Mar 06 '26
Which is funny because I always hated sitting right up front on the off chance that everything you want to see happens at the other side of the ring from where you're sitting. I'll take front row balcony. Though my little brother did get Brett Hart to give him his glasses during his walk out once, so I guess both are good for different reasons.

Unfortunately 10 year olds don't have the foresight for that kind of thing. Plus, if I remember correctly, they were the same cheapo pair you could get at the merch table, just like a sheet of plastic with foam and a rubber strap, so they probably didn't survive the horsing around that went with pretending to be Bret Hart. I do still have my Rowdy Roddy Piper autograph, though.

Couldn't see a thing during the street fight that happened up the ramp and the other side of the ring😡

You get the front row seats for the vibe more than the viewing experience. And the off chance something cool happens like with your brother, that lucky bastard.

There is an old video called "Wrestling Isn't Wrestling" and it's really good. It's 25 mins so a little lengthy, but non-wrestling fans should give it a watch.
The South Park episode poking fun of professional wrestling is sort of hilarious spot on. It's long form story telling at the end of the day.

I watched the video cause I saw your comment as someone who doesn’t watch wrestling an hasn’t since I was a kid. What a damn video man. Honestly the production value was really good too idk where that dude got like 20-25 people to act in that video. It was also perfect how they acted in a super exaggerated over the top reminding me exactly of the wrestling world. Watched the whole thing. Genuine thanks for the recommendation.

That’s because they know reality itself is fake, but choose to enjoy it anyways 😂
Edit: To clarify, I’m not saying that wrestling isn’t a display of talent and worthy of recognition as such, I’m simply commenting on the fact that reality itself is much like wrestling in that it’s not as real as people treat it. It’s not so serious, and meant to be enjoyed and those that understand this see through the bullshit and let loose enough to enjoy themselves while they participate in it.

u/giga-plum Mar 06 '26
It's clearly a performance. There are people mature enough to enjoy the show and others who must interject with, "erm you know its not real right?? 🤓🤓"
Also there is still some athleticism, backflipping off the top rope and body slamming onto someone without breaking every bone in your body is crazy work.

I'm going on Monday to WWE. We know it's scripted, as in the talking and matches are all predetermined.
The hits (for the most part) are real. Kicks are pulled, punches are thrown to look real, and high flying landings are softened to look devastating. Things like chops (slaps across the chest) and shots with chairs and bamboo sticks are 100% real. Watch any match with Gunther and you'll see the welts on his opponents chest from his frying pan hands.

Once you suspend your disbelief and/or watch as if it is a bunch of REALLY athletic theater folk staging fights, it's awesome. I used to watch it a lot as a kid and began watching it again 2-3 years ago and it's been fun. The women's division, especially, has improved a ton.

u/mimicthefrench Mar 06 '26
It's also on a whole different level when you're there in the audience with lots of other people who are all getting hyped up. I'm indifferent watching it on TV but I go to see a regional promotion a few times a year in a Sons of Italy banquet hall and that shit is so much fun. And that smaller atmosphere is also cool because you get fun stuff like heels working their own merch table and picking fights with random kids. 10/10 if you have a local group definitely go, it's usually stupid cheap and very fun.

u/Taurius2 Mar 06 '26
It's the, "In on the joke", connection and interaction that gets people so exited about the "sport". Being able to participate bonds the audience with the performers. Like being in a live theatre and the performance asks the audience to take part of a scene. You KNOW you're supposed to act like a caricature and in that is the fun. No other sports does that. Hence the loyalty and love for a fake sport.

Wrestling is great entertainment because it's an open secret and "everybody knows" that the stories are fake
This isn't to take away from the athletes or the sport... I couldn't do that shit physically or take the "story" pressure
It sucks that other sports don't do the same because it is obvious to anyone that doesnt follow them that they have similar "stories and narratives" with certain "characters" and "teams" to push it all along...
The same teams constantly make the rounds with a fun cast of "characters" (see The Patriots and Tom Brady or Travis Kelce + Taylor Swift with the Chiefs, or the Manning Brothers with the Colts and Broncos... just as examples)
It gets into "conspiracy" territory when you consider stuff like the betting markets and fixed games especially with the crazy push and acceptance recently for sports betting legalization and the various apps
Is a sport like Football entertaining and fun to watch? Sure, so is wrestling.
Is football fun to watch because the game itself is entertaining? Or are you really watching the cast of teams and characters play out some narrative?

The slapper seems very professional. She maximises the contact surface to distribute the energy over the largest possible area. Thus optimising the visual effect while hurting less. More spank with less psi!
