Saying it is fake is like running up to a performance in ballet and calling it fake. Wait a minute.

Wait why? Isn't wwe sports entertainment and not wrestling? Didn't Vince fight and claw to call it that for 38 years? No? People still will call it wrestling? Another failure for Vinny Mac.

Joke: Wrestling is fake and for idiots
Woke: Wrestling is fine actually, there's nothing wrong with fictional entertainment, and calling someone an idiot for that just makes you a schmoe Broke: Wrestlers should get more benefits and paid better for their services. Bespoke: The WWE has a deal with Saudi Arabia, and actively provide propaganda for one of the most backwards, oppressive and powerful royal families on the planet.

WWE is fake and for idiots. I miss me the good old days. I lived through the Monday night war's. I lived through the past of the attitude era.

"Scripted" is probably more of an accurate term, but alot of it is clearly fake as well, particularly the way some of the attacks (e.g., punches and kicks) are being thrown at opponents who often "oversell" them.
You can call the wrestling scripted or fake, but where I draw the line is throwing ad hominem attacks at the fanbase. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius ... Copied to Clipboard!

I can see judging it because it's basically just a physical soap opera. It has a trashy, guilty pleasure vibe to it, but it captures the kids early on with its theatrics. Though on the "it's fake" vs "it's scripted" front, I feel like both sides are arguing from completely different perspectives, so it's always just going to be a yelling match kind of debate with no resolution. Though at the end of the day, like what you like. Please just don't dress up as it in public, make it into your core personality trait, or hold weird, themed sex orgies based on your interests.

No idea who Tom Segura is or why he needs to say something so obvious. Obviously wrestling is for children but tons of adults like tons of things that are for kids.
I tried to give it a fair shot a couple times. One I watched last year was just the wrestlers dissing each other for like 20 or 30 minutes with no fighting. Another I watched had this big fat dude pick up small dude and use him as a bludgeon against 2 other dudes he was fighting. It was funny but the fat guy clearly couldn't lift and move the little guy as fluidly and naturally as he should have --- This is Farta ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's funny how people still try to come after Comedians about this kind of shit too. You gotta be pretty dumb to not understand how comedians operate by now. The worst thing you can do to a comedian is not give them attention, so they thrive off this shit. Everyone who shares similar thoughts are like "lol, this guys upsetting all the wrestling fans, he's pretty hilarious" and the ones being sensitive were never gonna be a fan in the first place. Because they can't understand liking someone they don't completely agree with on everything. And Comedians pick on everything, even the shit they like. Christina even says watching wrestling in person was actually entertaining when you're there.
