I'm not into pro wrestling but I've never understood the "it's not real" reason for shitting on it. The Walking Dead isn't real. Game of Thrones... Not real. Porn... Not real. But people, adults, watch that shit all the time. But no one's shitting on those entertainment properties because zombies didn't really eat that guy, dragons didn't really eat that guy, and that guy isn't really that mom's son's best friend. The idea that adults who watch pro wrestling believe the stories presented are true, or that that matches don't have predetermined outcomes miss the point that pro wrestling is show, just like any other, except that it's physical in nature and filmed in front of a live audience. It's like like going to watch a play, but sweatier.
