WWE sells out arenas around the world from Brooklyn to Beijing last year it raked in over seven hundred and twenty million dollars millions of people watch it on a weekly basis and in April 19th and packed out AT&T Stadium for Wrestlemania but those are just numbers we're here to explain why we - totally normal adults love watching effects for it well the starters it's not fake and secondly it's not a sport on the surface Pro Wrestling can look like some of the most unsophisticated entertainment there is and in fairness the over-the-top theatrics childish gimmicks and flamboyant costumes don't help I was liking with my cousin about this one time and I said that wrestling's art he said that wrestling's are not in the same way that burping the alphabets are not the problem is that non fans treated as a sport but the fans it's like a soap opera with fight scenes this is one basic story everyone wants to get the belt and be champ what wrestling comes down to is how any given character tries to win it they're heroes and villains with promos and backstage antics designed to get the audience excited to see their favorite good guys face off against the dastardly bad guys stories unfold over weeks and months and there are lots of drama unfolds through interviews locker room brawls and verbal showdowns it all comes down to every story getting resolved with a big climactic confrontation let's get this out of the way a lot of the fights are scripted but most of the slams the strikes the falls do hurt there is a difference between getting injured and getting hurt and wrestlers always get hurt it's their job to throw themselves at the ground and take punches and kicks to the face for your enjoyment when I was growing up dad would tell me Russell's don't get hurt because they know how to break a fall how was that that is called taking a bob six-time world champion Chris Jericho says the shock to the body is like any a bucket water to the face this is the same Chris Jericho who's jumped off a cage and even been slammed onto thumbtacks and that's just the type of pain wrestlers feel when everything is going to plan that doesn't take into account the accidents which do happen like when Steve Austin had his neck broken because he was slightly out of position or when Randy Orton was thrown out of the ring fell wrong and broke his collarbone everybody knows it's not real but to struggle to pinpoint exactly where showmanship ends and reality begins is part of why it's so fun check out goldberg military pressing a 300 pound brock lesner or Cesaro swinging the gigantic 7-foot 3 great colleague here's John Cena lifting two men over his shoulders that's 700 pounds of sweaty sweaty dude no they're not real fighters but they are real lifts throws and burly men being tossed around it's impressive stuff that's why fans will tell you it's not fake it's predetermined so you're probably thinking wrestling is here on the rediculous scale and TV and movies is about here well wrestling is actually here but let's look at zombie hordes and Dragons and going back in time to flirt with your mother stuff is ridiculous but it's embracing that ridiculousness and the reality of it that makes it fun and that's another thing WWE can be quite wacky and silly but that doesn't mean all wrestling is like that all the time you'd have a totally different perception of wrestling if you watch New Japan Pro Wrestling wear something called strong styles famous imagine a vicious combo pro wrestling in MMA where strikes are hard and Submission holds our fears don't get us wrong a lot of wrestling is really really dumb but when it's good it is so good you see things you didn't think we're possible live and you get invested in a way you didn't think you could still not a soap opera though rope opera you
