Do you watch pro wrestling and do you consider it to be real or fake?

Nope. And I KNOW it's fake.
In 1989, Vince and Linda McMahon testified under oath to the New Jersey State Senate that professional wrestling was scripted "sports entertainment," not a legitimate sport. This legal maneuver aimed to deregulate the industry to avoid taxes and commission oversight. WWE (then WWF) broke the "kayfabe" code to reclassify wrestling as exhibition, changing industry standards.
And it's still true. During his 2016 invasion of privacy lawsuit against Gawker, Hulk Hogan ( real name Terry Bollea) testified under oath that professional wrestling is "entertainment" and not a competitive sport.

@ElwoodBlues What is hilarious is that some actual believe Trump wrestled Vince McMahon in 2007! 🤣
That is where Trump got his lying style. If you act like it's true, then it's true.
