102154, it's like a "Live Action Cartoon Soap Opera" for men. That's why...

I haven't watched Wrestling since I was about 14.
at LEAST back then there was more wrestling and less silly shit like Vince McMahon being in the ring at 287 years old.
Sure, they'd talk shit between matches, but not all the "backstage drama" like now.
Wrestling was built on the *winkwink* notion of being fake, but now it's just ridiculous.
Basically, Wrestling Fans are fans in spite of themselves. They KNOW they get clowned, and that's a hard sell for ANY subculture.
Somebody bought up the fact that they're no different than any other Geeky fanbase, but at the end of the day, Star Wars, Star Trek, and Comic Geeks have Science, technology, and philosophy on their side.
Wrestling fans have big sweaty guys in tights and musclebound chicks with fake tits throwing each other around. You can't really defend that to a non-fan.
