10 Mistruths You Should Stop Believing About Wrestling

It's all just fake isn't it?

Pinpointing exactly why so many people love professional wrestling is a tough ask, even for fellow fans. Obviously, everyone has their own individual reasons for why they're so into the form of entertainment known as grappling, and often that logic does extend to creating a unique kinship with other fans, but it's truly difficult to give one solitary reason why so many folks like wrestling. When quizzed, most people will simply say something along the lines of, 'Pull up a chair', before launching into a tirade of reasons, or perhaps revisiting a story from childhood which makes them feel all fuzzy and perfectly encapsulates the excitement that pro wrestling can provide. To those outside of the bubble, it's mind-numbing. Every fan has encountered those folks who either want to tear apart their love of the medium, or completely discourage them from continuing to watch altogether, rarely with much success! To these people, wrestling is a curious beast, one which only a moron could enjoy. This article is directly aimed at those people who feel wrestling is a mug's game, and explores 10 commonly expressed "facts" about an industry they know little about. Clearly, everyone is entitled to have their own likes and dislikes, but these are the kinds of things that keep cropping up time and time again, and need to be squashed.
