I don't consume media that pretends to be a real competition. It is like watching a staged baseball game. Boring.

It's a scripted show, with writing, choreography, and stunt work for entertainment.
So you also don't like anything that's scripted but intentionally presents itself as being serious. So you don't like mockumentaries like Spinal Tap, Pop Star, American Vandal. You also don't like movies like Rocky because it's all scripted.
Again, a sad life to must live. I'm sure you're fun in social gatherings.

Because we already know it's scripted fighting, and we would rather watch an entertaining 15-minute scripted fight than watch a real fight end in a 2-minute knockout.

Wasn't even a botch, the guy just hit the ropes in a weird way and it severed his spinal cord. Granted, his spine had severe problems from a 30+ year career, but it was just a fluke.

Lmao. Did you seriously think The Undertaker was designed to be a realistic gimmick?

There's also been demons, clowns, pirates, cheerleaders, superheroes, a turkey, a mountie, a disco dancer, a dentist, a wizard, a voodoo shaman, a boogeyman, a yeti, a leprechaun, a cheap knockoff of Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat, and whatever the flying fuck The Shockmaster was supposed to be.

Pro wrestling hasn't tried to be realistic for well over 30 years.

Why sad? Not that I'm defending him bashing pro-wrestling but I find that I'm enjoying nonfiction entertainment more than fiction these days, things like documentaries, biographies, diaries, news articles, etc.

Yeah, everyone loves a good documentary and other nonfiction media. But if you're someone who would write off all fiction because "it's not real, it's all fake!" then you're missing out many amazing things and are probably a pretty obnoxious person to be around socially if that's the lense you view entertainment through.

as DDP always says, "you can't fake gravity" if everything all these wrestling promotions, large and small were fake, then Chris Benoit would still be alive, most of the wrestlers wouldn't end up addicted to pain pills or drugs, they wouldn't have multitude of injuries on top of injuries.

like Vince McMahon tearing his quads, or Triple H doing that, TWICE, and still performing..

so no, its not fake, its scripted choreographed entertainment, where you need to be athletic, and in really damn good shape, otherwise you can hurt the person you are performing with.

I don't know. I say to each their own. I don't think preferring one or the other says anything about someone as a person. Besides, I think the "it's all fake" is a valid reason to not like fiction. Is it not true? Not that I feel that way but people aren't wrong when they say that.
