wrestling being presented as real is part of the appeal. movies are known to be "fake", but the audience's suspension of disbelief adds to their appeal. the in ring product is still presented to be "real", same way that Die Hard is presented to be real. But McMahon acknowledged the "fakeness" of it when he took over the product from his dad in the late 70s/early 80s, and changed the classification of it to "sports entertainment".



i know it aint that deep. but for the sake of this discussion, im pretending that it is. lol.
