wrestling however is sold as "real" battling when it is in fact universally, blatantly "false".

I'm not really a great wrestling fan, but maybe, just MAYBE what you're saying is why they refer to it as "sports entertainment", and/or "PERFORMANCE wrestling".
The majority of people that DO follow it beyond a certain age will not try and step up claiming how undisputedly real every aspect of wrestling is, yet, as some have even said in this thread, they watch to see the storylines and events unfold, predetermined as they may be. When I watch wrestling, whether or not it's ACTUALLY people getting the shit knocked out of them does not enter my mind...it's theatrical, yes...but I do appreciate the skill and stamina it must take for these guys to do what they do, even if it is essentially watching something vaugely comparable to stuntmen.
PERFORMANCE wrestling. Sports ENTERTAINMENT.
Seems those that watch it find these things an easier concept to grasp than you do. What you're saying isn't exactly groundbreaking news, you're not clearing up any long standing questions here, in fact, all you are doing is being disrespectful to fans of a great long time entertainer, performer, actor....Then again, this is no news to US, your regular routine around here is to gather attention through attempted infamy...you're not funny, you're not witty, you're just a dick - So keep the avatar, seems that, you've already acknolwedged the truth of the matter.
Oh...and Sam, Austin, Trippin'...We got the show you're referring to just yeaterday (slight delay here), and even for an "only sometimes" watcher, it was difficult to sit through...the montage of his life was nicely done even for the space of time they managed to push it into, some heartfelt quotes about his skill, and determination, you could see how many true friends the guy actually had, even his latest "enemies" couldn't contain themselves. You're right, overall it was a good show.
One thing...was Chris Benoit a close personal friend of Eddies? He sure seemed to be taking it harder than anyone else...
No doubt this has the entire industry shaken, it is truly a shame.
