I just don’t get it. I was just watching it. Wtf. I mean. What could possibly entice you about watching two guys fake a fight. It’s so STUPID. It’s like mma except it’s all bulllshit.

I think pro wrestling lost its way over the last 10-15 years from trying to be more like mma. It had its own charm with its larger than life characters. Now it’s a bunch of normal guys with normal names and that’s lame since the outcomes are predetermined.

Like any “sport” you have to learn a little about each character and their wrestling style. You can start to appreciate the way certain guys carry a match, help a new guy shine, sell an injury, turn heel in a promo etc. A lot of slim guys are good at high flying, exciting style wrestling, while the super heavyweights are all about clotheslines and power bombs. Most of the guys fall somewhere in between. Character development is critical to caring about matches, as well as the promos leading up to the match.
