You know when people do the whole "Wrestling is fake gaiz hurr durr!!!1one" thing I always wonder if they also go into every entertainment discussion and point out other forms of entertainment are fake? You know just in case we were having fun or something.

"Game of Thrones is fake gaiz, more like LAME of Thrones amirite!!"

"Avengers is soooo lame, it's like dudes pretending to be suerheroes"

"Dude, Criss Angel ain't a real wizard, his magic is FAAAAAAKE"

etc.

Reality shows are usually more staged than pro wrestling, but nobody talks about that in the same condescending manner...

Everyone has known wrestling was staged for decades, ever since it was at circuses and was called "Athletic Shows" you can find editorials that hint at the nature of the bsusiness, and just because you thought it was real when you were a kid doesn't mean you need to ruin it for others!

P.S. I voted for Hogan


It is annoying when people simply downplay what they do as "Its fake".

I mean...

(Pics of Mick Foley's cage dive)

Come on, this shit might be staged but look at it. Look at it.

I used to show this match or ECW's Taipei Deathmatch to folks that wanted to act crappy towards wrestling, and it usually got them to at least show it some respect.
