Wrestling, Am I the Only One Who Finds it a Total Waste of Time?

I watched it when I was a child. But when I began to learn that it's all fake, then I began to lose interest in it.

For me it was the same. I remember being shocked when I first heard it was fake, but then I started watching it closer, and realized it was so obviously fake.

Even collegiate wrestling or high school wrestling, has little interest for me.

I used to be a WWE fan, and even attended a couple of events, years ago. Then, I began to see the "choreography" involved in most of the matches. Now, I sometimes tune in to the Monday and Friday night shows, and can usually predict the winner before the match even starts.

I watched it when I was a child. But when I began to learn that it's all fake, then I began to lose interest in it. After all of these years, it's still on prime time 2 or 3 nights a week. When I was younger, it was on television during the weekend, and in the afternoon.

You have some fat sweaty blow hard bragging about being the champion. Big deal! He's champion because the promoter says he can be champion, until he wants to improve the ratings. The viewers and the people who attend the live events all know it's fake, yet they still pay to watch the nonsense in person.

Many years ago when I was living in New York CIty, I worked with a wrestling fan, who attended the live events. I asked him one day if wrestling fans know that it's fake. He said that he does and so do other wrestling fans. I then asked him why do people pay money to watch it in person then. He said that he had discussed with other wrestling fans before. He said that they watch it so they can cheer the good guys, and boo the bad guys. He claimed that they enjoyed doing that.
