You've got to be a life long fan, the comprehension fail and predicted defensiveness was exactly what I was expecting. I wasn't attempting to emphasize the obvious at all, everyone knows it's fake idiot, I was addressing the lame denial you boobs are in over your much hyped "sport."
Either you want competition, or you want fake, you can't have both. I don't hate Lesnar, but I do think he comes across as a pompous asshole more often than not. I seem to recall him being quite confidant when entering MMA, telling everyone he's not intimidated at all because 'he's twice the athlete any of them are.' Gets his ass handed to him a few times, then it's back to the rope opera to make easy money off easily amused people.
And btw, I do think acrobatics and flips take skill. I've been doing somersaults out of throws and jumping over my own shoulder to get out of elbow/shoulder locks since I was 13. I don't care much for back flips honestly, by my wife can do everything (11 years of gymnastics). She took to dirty fighting like a duck to water.
Useful tumbling and rolling is a far cry from the rope opera bullshit. You won't see the anyone with a brain getting as high in the air as they can to deliver a blow with their abdomen. The skill involved in your "wrestling" is as much putting up with pain and injuries as it is technique, not to mention fooling the crowd.
Also, please don't double down on your previous misunderstanding and convince yourself that the "wrestling" in the OP is in any way shape or form similar to college wrestling or any of the others flavors that have anything to do with showmanship or a script.
My point was if you're going to admire and enjoy watching dressed up and bronzed sweaty men engaging in hilariously elaborate feats of gravity and abuse, fine. Get worked up about the frothy shit talking and politics that revolve around it like it matters somehow, go hogwild when your "wrestler" of choice spends as much time in the air as he does in contact with the mat - I really don't care. What I do care about is when people look down at others for not sharing their delusions over that stupid rope opera.
Er, what?!? You mean I can only stick with fiction or nonfiction? Your reasoning here is straight dogshit. I take it you took one too many tumbles on your head.
Wow, you're the first person to make us realize how wrestling is. Hey everybody, did you know that these guys are really just beating the shit out of themselves and not actually trying to hurt their opponents? Wow, none of us were aware of that at all!

For someone that doesn't care, you seem to be getting awfully frothy and hogwild over people that in no way suffer from the delusions that you're projecting on them. The only delusions are your own and I find it hilarious that you don't see your fandom of "real" sports is every bit as silly (and also homoerotic and super duper gay, not that there's anything wrong with that!).
