Am I the only person who doesn't get wrestling?

[Milarz]

There have been a lot of wrestlers post up a video or an interview of them saying how there is a story side & there is a real side. Jericho was also one of them a year back. There are a lot of fake strikes & moves, but also a lot of "real" strikes and a few real moves. Clotheslines are complete real, i've been knocked out by one in a match, someone else has also, depends who your opponent is. Drop kicks are real, especially when they aim for your face. All the weapons are complete real & so on.

I prefer playing a wrestling game as opposed to watching wrestling. I know some of the rules and I just improvise on the games but I don't really get it ultimately.

There are no rules, it's not a competative sport. Think of it like athletic theatre.

Love how my post got deleted as well.

I don't get it, if it's fake then what is the point?? Like do they actually get hurt and what do they teach people who watch it especially children who don't know that's it fake. I just don't see the point other than possible entertainment purposes from some people. I guess the money it makes for some people means that it won't be going away.

What is the point in movies?
What is the point in TV?

That's all 'fake'. So... Much... Ignorance.

Yes. Yes they do.
You think, if you lift someone above your head and slam them down(suplex), they could damage any part of their body/back etc. The injuries are real.

I think as far as 'Entertainment' goes, it fits perfectly in the with the 'rules', and I think it's a great thing to watch for some people...

I used to watch it when I was younger and when I found out it was fake, I was really shocked. I don't watch it now, I don't really like it anymore. I got bored of watching grown guys to beat the crap out of each other to go along with a ready made storyline. If there was a hint of realness to it, like the person who won wasn't decided beforehand, I might be more interested

Forgot I'd made this post ha but this is exactly how I feel. I don't mind some fake stuff the problem is its all fake. It's basically like going okay lets have a race but you need to let me win. I saw people complaining about some fighters being bad on Facebook and I'm there thinking well that's how they are playing it out but they talk like it's a game of football and they are playing it bad.

How do they decide who win's though - What if two people wanted to win the match.

[Kasabian]

It's all scripted, like in a soap. They will normally have the fans favourite win, unless they want to cause shock/controversy. It's not about a wrestler wanting to win the match.
