I don’t get it either. I also don’t get why people would want to watch a bunch of guys scramble around a field after an oblong ball and give each other TBIs, but, hey, people can enjoy whatever they want. I don’t need to criticize them for it. So, why do you feel that need?
Comment on Threw a wrestling watch party, made special food, and was very disappointed in the outcome.

I didn’t realize adults of drinking age were interested in fake wrestling.

Plenty are interested in fake stories like scifi and fantasy movies, so why shouldn’t they?

My significant other is into it and I have decided to just enjoy it with them by picking the silliest person I can see on the stage and rooting for them and playing drinking games with the sillier aspects.
It can be a lot of fun especially with how excited the people I am watching with get excited about the whole thing.
Plus the last guy I picked ( I miss you Boogs!) Was a large muscle man that looked like steroided Freddie Mercury and absolutely shredded on the guitar.

That sounds really great. Sorry, I’m an asshole.

Hey, it’s never to late to change from the asshole you are, to the asshole you want to be.

The E in WWE is for Entertainment.
Some people enjoy belittling other’s choices on the internet. Some enjoy watching the drama of fake wrestling.

I haven’t watched since WWF Attitude Era, but there really is nothing like wrestling. It’s such crazy performance art, with sick flips and insane feats of strength. I also called it fake like the person you responded to when I was 11, but now that I’m an adult, I recognize how fantastic it really is.

I’m very much into a variety of entertainment. And fake wrestling was fun to watch when I was a kid. Not trying to belittle anyone, more just surprised that grown adults still watch it.
