10 Bizarre Wrestling Facts We Just Accept

10. Grievances Are Best Aired Publicly

Part of becoming an adult is learning how to constructively resolve conflict. In the workplace, this usually involves discreetly confronting a colleague or manager about their offending behaviour and offering a chance for them to make things right. With any luck, both parties leave the discussion with a newfound respect and understanding for each other. Can we get a hell yeah?

Yet WWE teaches us that any grievance, no matter how petty, is best aired publicly. With microphone in hand, superstars regularly air their dirty laundry before the WWE Universe. Presenting conflict as a zero-sum game, the only way to win is to humiliate your opponent by any means necessary. If that means destroying their car or crashing their dad's funeral, so be it. Putting them through a table? Even better.

Imagine pulling a stunt like that in your office boardroom. HR would bury your sorry ass faster than Ricochet. And it wouldn't be a kayfabe sorta thing. But in the landscape of wrestling, it's just par for the course. And our infantile brains love it.
