You are aware that pro wrestling is acting...yes?
Quote:You couldn't have ridiculous things like that in a proper sport anyway... It is equally about the sportsmen as it is about entertainment... Whereas, pro wrestling is entirely about the entertainment... That was the whole reason about it... Fake some fights for entertainment value and bring in the money.
No one is calling it a "proper sport". It's called sports entertainment. The fact that it isn't a real sport doesn't make it less entertaining for me. I have a lot of respect for those WWE Superstars! They put their bodies at risk for our entertainment, and they do a damn fine job. It takes skill, athleticism, talent, and guts to do what those guys do.
If Mark Henry picked you up and gave you "The World's Strongest Slam", I promise you would not be faking your pain.
