WWE: 6 Misconceptions Your Parents Still Have About Wrestling

6. Wrestling Is Fake

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMSOEBGR3yE Okay, we have all heard this argument from time to time and we get it from all sides, not just our elders, so I will try and not dwell on the subject. We all know professional wrestling has a predetermined outcome. Although many of our detractors like to believe that we have the intelligence of a five year old when it comes to this surprising revelation they spring on us. But, it must be pointed out as this is primarily the first thing our parents told us when we got a little older. It's all fake, just like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny or whatever your personal belief systems equivalent is. But the first thing that I like to point out to these people that although the outcome is predetermined, we still don't know what it is going to be now do we? When you take into consideration the training regime, touring schedule and physical toll that professional wrestlers go through (more on that later) on a day to day basis, it has just as much credibility as any other sporting competition. And considering the drug and betting scandals that have plagued every facet of all sports worldwide over the past decade, does it not make them any less fake then Sports Entertainment? Lance Armstrong anybody? But here, don't take my word for it, why not ask Brock Lesnar, former UFC World Heavyweight Champion. You know, that REAL sport with REAL fights. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5RDQCTOsXA Now are you going to argue with that man? I don't think so. The key word of that interview is ignorance, which segueways nicely into my next point....
