Why you should give a sh*t about WWE wrestling this weekend Blah blah blah talks about matches and then....
"So why should you care?
It's serialised live storytelling with incredibly athletic performers playing outlandish villains and heroes with an overarching plot that never truly ends.
There's a reason fans fall hard for pro wrestling. It can be dumb. It can be offensive. But we persist for those moments when you know it's all scripted, but you're in too deep to care. When it connects, when you're so invested it feels real or better than real sometimes, and you won't ever find another form of entertainment quite like it.
Even if you've never watched a single match, Fastlane is a great place to start. If you love it, WrestleMania is right around the corner. If you hate it, you can confidently go back to ignoring wrestling for the foreseeable future. Give it a try and get swept up in the atmosphere, the adrenaline and the hype.
And maybe you'll get why the top trend on Twitter this weekend is about a pretend sport."
