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

It is choreographed sure, but to deny the physicality of it and write it off is ignorant.

Wait a minute. Thats not really the nutcracker, thats a dancer disguised as a nutcracker, this ballet is ****ing fake

The ballet is not fake, its scripted. You cant deny the physicality of it

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.

I think I did that right.

This Tom Segura guy baited people and got what he wanted: attention.

And, of course, wrestlers (not fans, wrestlers) come out in droves seething in anger saying silly stuff like:

You might want to get into AEW. It has a lot of Attitude Era moments while being more character-driven than modern WWE.

"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.

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.

I kind agree with him cause every fan I meet IRL is goofy as fuck about it. It seems like nobody can just "like" pro wrestling, they either don't care or they're obsessed.

interesting this comes up after the darkside of the ring david schultz episode.

this one was about david schultz taking protecting the business 20/20 exposed. reporter tells david schultz in character does an interview then prowrestling is fake and slaps the reporter some sense. during this time the business of prowrestling was still in the illusion of professional sports before sports entertainment.

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

Edit, just saw your response to the above user. Why not change the account name them? Surely the karma isnt that important to you.

I love pro-wrestling and have since I was 8 years old. I have no issue with what Tom said. I know what wrestling is and isn't, and I watch it for the things that it is; moderately athletic guys doing stupid entertaining shit under the guise of a competition.

Idk some people find it entertaining. Why do so many people watch reality shows when those are fake too?

Yeah, it reminds me of the people who cried at the end of Avengers Infinity War.

Lmao, of course there are no guys actually flying around with capes and punching aliens in the face, but a lot of people still felt the impact of those deaths. Thats Ok because its entertainment, just like pro wrestling.

it's funny how angry he sounds when you read what he said written out

but if you actually watch the podcast you'll realize pretty fast how he's just joking around

i'm not certain if he actually thinks wrestling fans believe it's real or not but this was just a bit

Is there though?
I mean, really.
Yes because they are still performing the stunts to tell a story. It's not a sport, there is no competition. If anything, WWE is more "real" than most entertainment shows based on sports like Friday Night Lights, etc.

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.
