What are some other misconceptions about wrestling ?

[jminter2698]

Of course the most common ones I always hear is that : "Wrestling is all fake" "Why do people think it's real ?" Not realizing that the WWE has admitted to being a fixed entertainment show for decades, the owner of the company Vince McMahon actually said this on TV "We are not a sport this is Sports Entertainment" however the risks these wrestlers take to wrestle are dangerous and shouldn't be done at home without training. The fans also aren't stupid, they know they're watching a show that isn't real in some cases (as in the gimmicks and the storylines but the physicality is real). I think this comes from their lack of knowledge of what wrestling is these days and their opinions about it are from what it used to be which brings me to my next point, the bodybuilder type wrestlers on steroids. Which at one point was true way back when, but not anymore.

I’ve had this type of conversation with a lot of people. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard things like “I don’t know how you can watch wrestling when you know it’s fake” or “I can’t get into it when I know it’s fake. I always say the same thing to these people. “Do you like action movies? You know that it’s fake right?”
