The outcome is scripted and there is obvious (bad) acting but the athletic feats are real. It’s like watching sports theatre.
Especially in the Andre documentary, they showed Andre both doing fake moves and beating the shit out of the showboaters.
Ditto. Fake shit, not sure why anyone over 12 would watch it. On the other hand, porn is real. Bad acting, but real. I love it.
Exactly. All TV is scripted and wrestling can be entertaining.
I don’t know man, I was never able o cum by watching wrestling and I would not be watching porn if it wouldn’t make me cum..
I felt the same way until I listened to this podcast. Hope you will give a listen, it's fantastic. Podcast blurb: All the world’s a stage. So we push through the fourth wall, pierce the spandex-ed heart of professional wrestling, and travel 400 years into the past to unmask our obsession with authenticity and our desire to walk the line between reality and fantasy. http://www.radiolab.org/story/la-mancha-screwjob/
You go to movie theatre to watch fake life. Then why do you go know it is all fake? “entertainment”
^this. Dummies out here trying too hard to act too cool for school.
I’ve always wondered why so many people watch this stuff. But yes, I want to see that doc. Not because it involves wrestling, but because Andre the Giant is interesting in general.
You have to see it with history. Back in 60s or 70s, there was no popular fight sports whose primary offense is based on ground skills. Professional wrestling fantasies ground attack more realistic with fun than regular wrestling because of added punching and kicking. If this were to be done with real fighting, it would have been forbidden by government due to violence. UFC and PRIDE FC etc finally solved this issue but they only became popular in the last decade. Professional wrestling is dying slowly and will do as younger generation watches more UFC than it.
Movies are fake and many times cheesy. Why do you watch it?

I assume it’s akin to watching cartoons? I don’t know...never understood the appeal. Cartoons are far better.
