It's more real than religion, and people dedicate their lives to that sh*t. I just waste 3 hours a week on wrestling. Life is about perspective. I don't have time to acknowledge every assh*le with an opinion, because I'd be here all day. Wrestling's fake huh? You watch the Kardashians religiously? That's interesting. Everyone enjoys different elements of life. I'm not here to tell people what they should enjoy, I'm just here to say this is what I like and you if you have a problem with it. Art is completely subjective. Some people like pro sports, others like movies, tv shows, ballet or the theater, I like the one stop shop that is pro wrestling, along with a million other things. With that being said, 9 out of 10 people are going to try and crush your dreams. Learn when to ignore them, learn when to tell them to shove it up their ass, and never, EVER, forget the people who both helped you along the way and tried to detract you the entire time. Those people fuel the fire, and those people will give you the greatest amount of joy when you do succeed. Wrestling is largely misunderstood. I like the word choreographed personally, but I don't have time to sit and explain that to every ignorant human being that thinks Hulk Hogan is still WWE Champion. Not to mention, WWE has got to have more closet fans than just about any other form of entertainment, so the jokes really on them.

I just bring it down to simple levels for these people.
"Yeah, wrestling is fake, whatever, but I don't ever go to a movie theater, and in the middle of the movie theater and go 'THIS IS FAKE' do I? Same concept."

"Is it? Thank you for telling me. What's your favorite movie/TV show?" "Blah." "You DO know that's fake, right?" "Um . . . "

I just say "yep" and move on. I don't get bent out of shape about it.

I don't really get upset over it, but I don't understand why a lot of people say everything is fake. Obviously, it's choreographed. How do you fake throwing someone off the tope of a cage?

In the year 2013 the very fact the "you know it's fake" line is still being quoted is just sad. Unless your 8 years of age who in their right mind would think that wrestling is a shoot. The very concept of running the ropes just shows that it's staged.

I get this a lot. Even just a basic back bump leaves its mark after a match. I tend to avoid a conversation about wrestling with people who don't understand the biz.

On another forum I use there are a few wrestling fans and we have a thread and there is one really tedious guy who likes to enter the thread and say "it's fake". I really want to just say "So are your wife's orgasms, you just have to suspend your disbelief" (because it sounds like he's not getting what he want at home ) but he is one of those types who runs crying to the mods over any little thing and because he's a long serving member, they let him get away with everything he does.

I'm one of those that really hate it when people say its fake. I would say to them to try getting slammed through a table or get hit on the back by a chair or ladder, and tell me if that hurts. Such pricks really.
To put simply, its scripted, not fake. Other than the occasional light punches, the bumps and hits these superstars take on their bodies are real. They sacrifice their body to entertain the fans. Its all choreographed, yes, and we all know its all scripted. But its not fake.
To use the word fake is a whole lot of difference and if you say that to the past and present superstars, I'm sure they would be pretty pissed off and offended.

omg, I'm in a restaurant last week with some extended family and my wife's cousin sitting at the other end of the table gets wind that I watch wrestling and the first thing he says - "You know it's fake, right?" - man how I wanted to lunge over there and slap him across his head and ask him if my reaction was fake. We know it's not real dumbasses, it's scripted and entertaining and STILL has some very real moments.
I brushed his comment off and he spent the rest of the dinner telling me all about Hulk Hogan and how strong he is. I kid you not.
THIS is why I hate Hulk Hogan.
