Honest Question to Pro-Wrestling fans: WHY?

I am not trying to put anyone down; I'm just trying to understand. My co-worker always has various matches on.
I can appreciate:
The obvious athleticism required to pull off even a fraction of the jumps and lands, etc. Respect, big time. Big time.
The beautiful women, who are also in amazing shape.
The amount of planning and pyro that goes into entrances. Heck, the whole production.
And Seth Freakin' Rollins.

The rest leaves me scratching my head. Telegraphed punches that end a clear mile away from the intended target. More folding chairs thrown than Bobby Knight. I'm not seeing the real meat of the performance. Obviously, people dig it big time, so what am I missing?

@TheRascallyOne I'm just now getting into wrestling so I'm new to this. I do remember having the game when I was little maybe back in 2002? I remember Chris Jericho, The Hardy Brothers, Trisha Stratus, Molly Holly, and Jazz

@Chickie Yeah they were all really good in their own right but nobody has ever sold more shirts than Stone cold Steve Austin in the year's of when he was wrestling

@TheRascallyOne I forgot about Stone Cold. I remember Kane and The Undertaker.
