Because pro wrestling still hurts. Even if the match itself isnt an actual competition, having to take bumps, do spots, and take weapon shots is still legitimately stressful on the body. Patronzing it as a completely fictional product is insulting.

"fake" implies that it's not a legitimate way to make a living or it has no merit. A lot of people who say wrestling is fake are almost trying to put down Professional wrestling. Wrestlers take offense to that.

It would be like watching a movie and going "U KNOW THIS IS FAKE RITE?!"

Everyone knows it's scripted, don't be obtuse.

WEEEEELLLL...on that front I have a different way of looking at it.

Saying a TV show or a movie is fake would just draw confusion. People get that its fake but pointing it out serves no purpose because the fourth wall is clearly drawn.

In pro wrestling the fourth wall is more loose. The wrestlers interact with the audience and the audience is meant to beileve what they see in the ring is the personas the people who come out from the curtain actually possess. Its not true, granted, but moreso than a regular TV show the suspension of disbelief is more mandated in order to get the full effect. You have to actually tell yourself to believe if you want to enjoy yourself, whereas any other visual media doesnt really require anything other than being willing to ignore things like physics violations or strange characterization.

It's like heckling a magician. Everyone knows it's fake but they still enjoy the show. By calling it fake he takes offense to it because it insults his performance and insults the intelligence of his fans.

Better question: Why do people only say wrestling is fake rather than 99% of other shows, even though they're more heavily-edited and most actors don't do their own stunts?

Well, depends on the show. A sitcom isn't pretending to be real exactly while wrestling kind of does.

In what way does WWE pretend it isn't a show about a wrestling federation in a way Law and Order doesn't pretend to be a show about police and prosecutors?

a show is a show. why would a sitcom not pretend to be real? in that case, you'd have random cuts of the camera crew, folks forgetting their lines and go "uh line? fuck it im going for lunch" and just dumb shit like that.

wrestling protrays itself as real because what else would they do? go up there go "HEY IM NOT HULK HOGAN MY NAMES TERRY. I DONT LIKE BLACK PEOPLE"

wtf is this logic

Doesn't the whole argument stem from a either a minority of dumb people who actually think it's real, or a belief that there are people who think it's real?

What is a scripted show if not "pretending" though? The only difference between wrestling and any other TV show is that it's performed live.

Because there is an actual sport called wrestling, and pro wrestling is far more similar to those Japanese sports anime than it is to actual wrestling.

Why is a show about wrestling more fake than a show about a family? Both exist in real life, don't they?

If that were any other TV show, they'd use edits and a balloon mattress to do that. In that sense, it's more real than most TV shows.

Its choreographed and the outcomes are predetermined (Goldberg said so years ago), but you cant really fake getting dropped from seven feet or something.

Go ask Rey Mysterio, who has had nearly a dozen knee surgeries in his career due to various injuries, if it's fake.

Go ask Edge and Paige, who had to retire due to severe neck/spine injuries suffered in their careers, if it's fake.

Go ask Katsuyori Shibata, who may have potentially given himself brain damage from delivering so many headbutts, if it's fake.

Because it's an obnoxious attempt to purposefully troll people who enjoy wrestling for what it is. Like, if you walk into work on Monday and go "Did you see Game of Thrones? It was great!" and get some asshole saying, "Hey stupid! You know that Game of Thrones isn't real, right?". That would be completely obnoxious.

What if someone threw you off that cage and you fell 20 feet and went through the table? Would you still say it's fake after feeling all of that pain?

Fake implies it isn't genuine. Fake would have been doing that with camera tricks and stunt doubles, Mankind actually took that fall on a live broadcast. That stunt was 100% real.

Probably, it's still fake though. Get over it and stop getting offended by the truth.

So fucking what? It's still fake and dumb as all hell. Putting your body through that abuse just for some money and fame is ludicrous.
