10 Brutal Wrestling Moments To Show Non-Fans

Yeah, you know, all that 'fake' stuff...

By Jamie Kennedy /

Every fan of professional wrestling has heard the same old comments. "When are you going to grow out of that wrestling stuff?", people ask. "That bogus wrestling nonsense is for kids", others cry out. There's even the all-too-familiar refrain of, "it's all fake anyway", as that same person then settles down to enjoy the totally real antics of the actors and actresses on their favourite TV show. Pro wrestling is certainly misunderstood by some, including those who were only into it briefly as children. The "it's all fake" line is clearly a source of much distress to those who follow the industry, and therefore understand the physical toll wrestling takes on the men and women performing for their entertainment and the various sacrifices made to even make it to WWE. Occasionally, however, these non-fans find their interest piqued by something they happen to glance at on screen. Maybe someone they know is watching wrestling, and they simply can't help but be swept away in the heat of the moment. They're unlikely to watch regularly, but that doesn't mean they can't enjoy these one-off moments of powerful drama. This list features 10 different 'moments' that are perfect to show these very people. Then, they may just begin to understand why millions around the globe are transfixed by the industry and watch each and every week.
