Is professional wrestling a sport or theater? 🤔

@MethDozer

You might have nailed it there.

@calicuz Especially in days past it was. If you watch the old products it was more two athletes competeing to put on the best match of the night. That is less an aspect nowadays and is more about trying to fill matches with the most spots in a match.

There's much less attempt to simulate a suspension of disbelief and trying tonmake it look real nowdays. In the past though there was a strong compettion to see who could work the most realistic looking predetermined match.

@MethDozer

I agree, with all the dramatic speeches and challenges from the center of the ring with a mic, theatrics rule the modern day wrestling ring.

@calicuz you dont get promo shots like this anymore. Skip to 1 minute mark.
