Pro wrestling is so bizarre and awful.
I mean it really is the strangest entertainment I've ever seen. Because everybody involved; the audience, the actors / wrestlers, the promoters / commentators all know it's fake. There's mutual knowledge yet... You ALL act like it's real and like it's important.
Which in itself isn't that strange as that's essentially what we do when watching movies. But movies for example are high-budget, they're put together in a way that makes these fictional worlds seem real / possible. So you can buy into them. Plus we only playfully buy into the fact that say... Travis Bickle is a psycho, for the duration of the movie. But wrestling fans talk about the actors like they're actual sports men outside / after the events lmao.
As if the belts and the matches really matter... With pro... Ring acting, they act as if it's a real sport yet could not be more unbelievable if it tried. It's almost like they're trying to act badly, and none of the fighting could even half-pass as real. It's just so odd.
It'd almost be like watching 8 Mile. Then coming out the movie theatre like "I hope Jimmy makes it atfer all that he went through". Or a few months after Kill Bill saying to a friend "You think The Bride is still alive man?".
