I mean seriously, wrestling does not even have the pseudo-edgy vibe going for it that it had during the 90s. So why do people watch pro-wrestling?

So is politics. People still like the entertainment and illusion of being involved in something.

I agree. Pro wrestling's fighting sucks, in addition to its poor acting.

It's a TV show or an event made for entertainment.

You may as well ask why so many people like Batman movies. Batman is obviously fake.

I'm pretty sure 90% of the audience is made up of teenagers and white trash, and both groups are too stupid to realize it's fake.

Everybody else I'm gonna guess just like soap opera with fighting.

Because TV shows are people selling their lives out to cameras or competing (reality TV) or actual TV shows where the most talented/best looking/ or both entertainers go to perform for us. I respect those who watch telly more than those who watch a fake sport... The acting in wrestling is cringe worthy and something an amateur like me or you could pull off. Shawn Michael is supposed to be the best actor/seller of the industry from what I hear and he just over acts...

TC you just don't understand wrestling. The only reason you watched in the 90s is because everyone else did.

People realize its fake, but its just fun to watch to see some occasional intense matches and promos. The only people who don't know its fake are the 10 year olds

na, I remember being 12/13 and arguing with people about it being fake. People still think it's real in their teens. I hate to be the one to tell them santa isn't real, but somebodys gotta, it's just embarrassing.

I've been to wrestling shows within the past year and everybody there knows it's scripted. People just go to have a good time.

Well stop the presses! Who would've guess that wrestling is fake after all.

Of course it's fake. Wrestling is primarily for entertainment.

You basically contradicted yourself in the 2nd and 3rd sentence.

How?

and TC made a thread about the n word, then people brought up steve austin and he makes this thread right after.

Unless something is on the news it's fake. And half of the time the news isn't even 100% accurate (look at the Martin/Zimmerman case, for example).

People enjoy different things and just because you don't like it doesn't mean anyone else won't either.

Did you know that movies are fake. Ever see that one movie where Al Pacino got shot in the face? Yeah, that didn't really happen. He wasn't really shot in the face. F*cking fake ass bullsh*t.

Obviously the only people who watch movies are people who are too stupid to know it's fake.

My older brother likes wrestling a lot (he's 20), he knows it's fake as hell, but says it's fun to just get carried away with it.

i loved wrestling as a kid, stopped watching it around age 15. wanted nostalgia from childhood so i would watch old matches on youtube. learned to appreciate the performance that 2 wrestlers give in a match. Wrestling today sucks compared to 90's, but there are still some good wrestlers out there, they just don't have that over the top personas that hulk hogan, steve austin, the rock, undertaker, shawn michaels etc. had.

It sure has past its "cool" thing to watch time but it is not terrible

But saying it is fake is one of the most ignorant comments you can make. If it is fake why are so many injured?
