There is this one girl I go to college with, and she just doesn't get that the WWE is ENTERTAINMENT. She says that they condone the beating of Women. The WWE is a soap opera. It's written storylines played out by actors who also happen to be great athletes. Why some people can't get this is something that's beyond me. This is why Pro Wrestling has received such a bad rep.
Have you ever met any ignorant people like this? It just shocks me how ignorant some people can be today.

A few months back when Punk was arguing with Chris Brown. As we all know the whole fiasco was about beating on women. Of course some Chris Brown fans dig up a video of Punk giving Beth Phoenix a GTS, thinking it was real.

Some people are just intellectually- disabled, and don't know the difference between reality and fantasy I guess.

My grandmother still thinks it is real and won't even listen to anyone who says otherwise. She has been watching since the 50's and she is the stupidest person I know.

Just let people have their opinions, if their views are wrong, in this case it's true; then just know you're right, if she has that great a problem, she might want to write a letter to the board in Conneticut and get an explanation from them.

I agree with Shane Douglas in that one of the worst things Vince ever did was to come out and say this is "entertainment". Hell, we all know that...we all know a movie is too, but you don't see the director come out before hand and say "what you are about to see is BS!"
Part of the entertainment is being able to make it believable

Hell, we all know that...we all know a movie is too, but you don't see the director come out before hand and say "what you are about to see is BS!" Part of the entertainment is being able to make it believable It is common knowledge that the people in movies are acting. There are credits that even show their real names. Wrestling, however, used to be a 24/7 act. Masked wrestlers would wear their masks on their way to the show. Heels and faces wouldn't be caught dead talking to each other around fans. Wrestlers got stabbed in crowds. It was sometimes dangerous to be a heel. I started watching wrestling in 1999, so I never knew it to be real. I wish I could've been there when "kayfabe" ruled the land. Either way, I love wrestling for what it is right now and for what it has been since I started watching. All the old stuff is just a bonus to me. It's been the most constant thing in my life since I was 11. Monday comes around and I think about RAW. And watch it if I can.

Have you ever met any ignorant people like this? It just shocks me how ignorant some people can be today. Agreed. I think most people just look for any reason to hate on wrestling as a whole. You never hear anyone complaining about how Cheerleaders are used as sex objects during a Football Game or how Soap Operas show adult situations during daytime hours when kids are more likely to see it, but it's ok to complain about wrestling. In addition, many want to focus on how Wrestling is a "den of sin", with many wrestlers dying horrific deaths and living such terrible lives. Again, no one wants to remember River Phoenix, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Charlie Sheen etc etc all of whom were never wrestlers. Wrestling is an athletic display of drama and nothing more. Why it is held to such rigid standards by critics, while the rest of Hollywood can rage out of control makes no sense.

I don't know what's more annoying, people that think it's real on cases like this, or people that think they know it all and think you're stupid because you watch it because you think it's real.

Non wrestling fans are ridiculous - one day they think it's completely fake, the other completely real.

Let them believe whatever they want...if they think it's real, then it's working, right?

+1 for using Ready 2 Rumble clip. Anyway, if there are people out there who still believe wrestling is real then they cannot be saved.
