'Because it's fake' - Okay but so is every TV show you're a fan of, there's plenty of injury risk involved in wrestling (just right now for example a lot of the top stars are out due to injuries) but yes obviously it's scripted. I can't speak for everyone but I personally see wrestling on TV as a TV show not a sport since I see sports as a competition where there's a winner and loser and it's not planned. For me wrestling's more about stories and entertainment. So why exactly should it being scripted be enough for me to not watch it?

'Because it's gay' - Don't even really know where to start with this one lol. Swimmers wear trunks too and no one ever says s--- about that, MMA fighters are half naked and no one ever bashes UFC for that.

'Because it's for kids' - I think this argument is mainly referring to the 'fake' aspect again since kids supposedly don't know it's set up. I disagree with this because in 2016 any kid can just go online and look up anything about wrestling and quickly find out the truth. So I don't really feel even kids for the most part buy into it being real, I mean I'm sure some do but not nearly as many as there used to be.

'Because it sucks' - Yeah it often does actually, I don't disagree with that. But why does that bother you then and why am I not supposed to watch it just cuz I'm over a certain age?

Anyways I'm just curious to hear people's opinions here, it's kinda weird to me how wrestling fans who still watch as adults (quite a few by the way) get constant s--- for it. I'm hardly following wrestling at all lately but it's simply cuz it's very bad right now, when it gets good again I'll certainly get more into it once again.
