After reading this, I might turn your enemy. But you might want to have a rethink about sitting down and watching wrestling. There are dozens of diehard wrestling fan out there like me, but in my teens, everything changed when I woke up in the middle of the night and stumbled upon a documentary about the make-up/behind the scene about World Wrestling Federation (WWF) fights.
Even though I had fallen in love with the likes of Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michael, Owen Heart, Warrior Bush Walker and many more, my love for wrestling faded after watching several stage-managed stunts and effects like your normal Hollywood Action Movie with good guys and bad guys and sometimes mixed with romance.
Many fans are too engrossed in the fun parts and never paid attention to the details it entails. Entertainment generally is a powerful tool to mess with the Human Brain, millions have been placed on mind controls due to the subliminal messages that have been embedded in movies, songs, and wrestling too if you care to see!
But this is not about hidden messages or rituals in plain sight on Television, it is about the unreal fights between two paid athletes and how the fans fall to these gimmicks.
HERE ARE SOME FACTS TO BACK IT ALL UP
NUMBER 7- NOT THE SAME WITH JUDO/NORMAL WRESTLING
If you ever compare Judo and real wrestling to the Ring fights we all have come to love, you could tell the big different instantly. The hype and frenzy alone are enough to make each fight lose concentration and lost that match. But in the WWF/WWE fights, each fighter must have mastered the acts of relating to the spectators before every fight.
NUMBER 6- ONLY AMERICA AND FEW COUNTRIES ARE SUCCESSFUL AT IT
Unlike football or Basketball, where several countries could pull a surprise. In Wrestling, only America has successful WWF history. When I was younger, I remember some other countries in Africa tried to organize wrestling series which ended up badly as one or two people were killed by stunts gone wrong and several others injured.
NUMBER 5- TOO COLORFUL CHARACTERS PER FIGHT
To be honest, swimming, soccer, and several other sports are super colorful as they could be, especially with flags and jerseys of club or countries playing. In wrestling, individuals have the most colorful gears and makeup which is not necessary for a real challenge. You must have seen bands/fighters playing before their actual fight, or a dancer wrestler pulling some stunts before the real act. Any serious sporting event would not pay much attention to their fancy looks and moves in the ring.
NUMBER 4- PREDETERMINED/SELECTED WINNERS
Trust me on this one, I could tell the winner of any wrestling-mania fight as soon as the wrestler is announced. Not because I am a seer, but it is all written like a script, from the weird moves to stupid punches and “close-lines”. A toddler could coo out the favorite to win a fight as soon as the hit the rings.
NUMBER 3- FAKE AUDIENCE AND SPECTATORS
You must have seen another superstar from another sport or a movie star at a wrestling-mania. Yes, they go as a paid guest at times to make gullible paying fans have a feel of their money watching an orchestrated fight. Sometimes you see a random fan punch actual wrestlers in the face once they are off the fighting ring. You can try that out in a boxing bout or Mixed Martial Art fight (MMA) and go home with a swollen face or black eye!
NUMBER 2- ENDLESS FIGHT WITH LITTLE OR NO BLOOD/SWOLLEN FACES
You must know Steven Seagal or at list be familiar with the name Jet Li, they could beat up dozens of people without being bruised or touched. Now compare that to wrestlers in Royal Rumble or a normal fight that ends up with someone else coming into the ring to help a pseudo-fallen comrade. These fights could go on and on without a winner, at times they must have knocked out the referee.
Maybe you have seen Man Kind VS The Rock (Dywne Johnson) fight several times with no winner, there is always a rematch. Once blood starts dropping, the fight stops because It was never part of the script. Newer wrestlers are more than cute models than fighters, some fight two people at once without a swollen face or a broken bone. Weird huh?
NUMBER 1- MOST WRESTLERSENDS UP IN HOLLYWOOD
Have you ever imagine why the likes of Dywane Johnson (The Rock), John Cena, Batista, Triple H, Steve Austin (Stone Cold), Roddy Piper and many more ends up as Action figures in Blockbuster movies without having any acting class or degree? It’s because they were all in acting school in wrestling rings, no Movie director wants to work with a noob actor hence most WWF/WWE stars fit into several movie roles. Otherwise, every superstar from various sports would have been acting by now!
These are my top seven reasons, more to come for I must end it here, for now, to get some work out session at the gym. If you disagree with me, comments below with your valid prove and then we could enter a debate, ciao.

Badge was a Gift.
Ever since I noticed the "E" in WWE stands for entertainment, I stopped believing in wrestling... 😂😂
Hahahha, you are smart brother.
This is no secret, it's been obvious since the internet went global. It's called entertainment for a reason - it's meant to entertain
There are other 'real' sports fans could switch to if they don't like it - Kickboxing, Amateur Wrestling, Boxing et all
I can categorically tell you that some fans are pissed reading your comment that its is no secret its acting, i have some friends that would devor me each time the topic comes up
