    Well it ain’t wrestling, so it’s fake wrestling. Those are the words I use to describe it. You may think it’s “ignorant” to call it such, but I’m not ignorant of its history or how it’s done (in fact I’ve always been impressed by the athleticism that’s obviously required). So my label isn’t from ignorance.

    It’s as lame as soap operas. And I do look down my nose at people who watch that garbage too, or the garbage of most “reality” TV, or melodrama.

    It’s all just trite and juvenile appeals to base emotion, nothing more.

    There’s not even a wink and a nudge from the actors to the audience.

    Any other words you’d like to gatekeep?

      You are definitely ignorant to it’s history and execution. That’s not an insult.

      But you don’t get to pretend you throughly understand something you admittedly don’t even have any interest in, or have spent any time studying.

      It’s not gatekeeping. You’re pretending to know things you don’t have a basic understanding of.
