    Clearly, for the sexual thrill!




    OT: Well... I can't say I like Wrestling at all. Or marketed fighting like the MMA stuff. And I'm American... As much as it pains me to admit it.
    I'm a Kitsune! Not a cat, or a mutt!

    I don't think they're very athletic actually, too much body mass

    For the same reason anyone likes any form of fictional entertainment? I for one would watch wrestling over any reality show that has ever been created, as well as the vast majority of movies and TV shows.

    Where exactly though? Because it's certainly a rarity here

    I thought it tended to be comparable to countries like the UK or India.

    I do laugh at people calling it fake. Do they realize Bryan Cranston isn't really cooking meth in his spare time?

    Oh, so you can generalise the majority of a continent, but I can't generalise a wee island?

    North West England, about a hundred mile away from you.

    Bodybuilders, acrobats, and actors basically.

    Lot of friends enjoy it. Personally I don't get the appeal, though I have enjoyed watching it occasionally when the group gets together. There's an energy to it, there's a story (if a bit ludicrous and poorly done), there are rivalries and action.

    Also, love how people mock it for being scripted. That's like mocking Game of Thrones, because it is scripted as well. Though I get that it isn't truly a sport, because there is no competition to it.
    "Believing something is not an accomplishment. The stronger your beliefs are, the less open you are to growth and wisdom, because “strength of belief” is only the intensity with which you resist questioning yourself. Listen to any “die-hard” conservative or liberal talk about their deepest beliefs and you are listening to somebody who will never hear what you say on any matter that matters to them — unless you believe the same. Wherever there is a belief, there is a closed door."

    No, pretty much NO Americans believe it's real. You know what? There isn't a real life chemistry teacher who became a meth kingpin. There's not a zombie apocalypse in real life. In real life, you don't have shield carrying dudes dressed like the American flag hanging out with huge muscular green dudes, hot Russian spy chicks, archers, and an alien god of thunder, yet somehow, Americans like Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, and The Avengers. You know the outcomes of those shows were predetermined too?

    Yet it doesn't sell out near as much as in the US. Comedians sell out more tickets than WWE does here

    Don't stereotype. Not all Americans like wrestling or nascar or guns etc.

    You have a fair amount of knowledge of something you care nothing about.

    For the same reason any nation/person likes (insert thing you don't like here). Because they can.

    How is this a thread?
