Pretending wrestling was real and an actual sport was always stupid. I've watched those old wrestling matches. They were beyond cartoonish and fake looking. Only the most dumb fuck rednecks were entertained by it. The Attitude Era was good because it focused on the entertainment aspect of the freak show and abandoned the stupid "this is a totes real sports division" wrestling aspect of it to have demons from hell lighting caskets on fire, rednecks beating the hell out of their boss and hosing him down with beer, strippers and sluts jiggling around in thongs before getting drop kicked off stairs, old ladies getting pile drived through tables, a mentally ill asylum patient getting hurled 30 feet off a steel cage and broken in half.

As soon as Vince won and the WWF went back to business as usual focusing on pretending they were a real sport everyone rolled their eyes and stopped watching and rightly so. Professional wrestling is very, VERY stupid - infinitely more so when everyone knows it's fake and wrestlers are now on podcasts as their real selves talking about everything in the business - and only brainlets garner any entertainment out of watching two dweebs play fight.
