I'm SO sick if the ignorant cocks who dismiss pro wrestling for being "fake". Just like movies, It's about telling a story. If you compare it to a competitive sport like cage fighting, boxing or even Olympic style amateur wrestling then not only have you completely missed the point, but you are a total fucking hypocrite unless you dismiss every fictional book, movie and TV series that has ever existed for not being "real".
I enjoy the over the top characters, the funny gimmicks, the in ring action and hold a lot of respect the athetism required to do this, scripted, 2 or 3 times a week. Most top end pro-boxers or MMA fighters do it, unscripted, 2 or 3 times a year. I respect them as athletes too but if you respect one but dismiss the other then you are a hypocrite.
