See, and perhaps I'm missing something, but how much of that is pre-orchestrated and pre-determined? How precisely do they script things? I'm under the impression that everything is scripted, even the twists and turns, the failures in strategies, the things that don't quite payoff.
And if they are scripted, there's no payoff. It's artificial and because of that artificiality it's decidedly inferior to other sports. In other sports there's scripting to a point (gameplans, strategies, plays) then there's genuine improvisation that either fails or succeeds.
And it's entirely possible that I'm thinking of wrestling incorrectly. When I think of it being scripted, then I start thinkin of it as theater, a drama, but then you get into murky waters in tryin to define wrestling. It's not a sport in how we consume and think about televised sports, it's not a scripted tv drama. So I dunno
Perhaps my inability to categorize or define what pro wrestling is is why I don't get it.
