It's too lowbrow to be appreciated by some people, and when it's bad it's embarrassing, but I think I'll always love pro wrestling in some form or another. It's just totally it's own category in culture and entertainment. It's not a sport, but people compete to win fan support. It's not necessarily just a casting director determining your position and salary (though this is a big part), it's also the crowd, and your role becomes more or less prominent depending on how you're doing and how they're reacting.

Championship matches are fake, but being champion does represent something. It's not a sport, but you have to be at least somewhat athletic and ideally incredibly athletic. People train their asses off to get in shape, both for aesthetics and to do incredibly difficult moves. It's fake, but real life plays a big part in storylines. What happens to Chris Evans plays no part in Marvel movies, but what happens to Phil Brooks will be referenced in an AEW promo, about CM Punk. And pro wrestling always has a long history of flirting with being "real" or very rarely, becoming real, with shoot promos and screwjobs and shoot fights (the latter two now confined to history). It's an art, and a live performance, but it plays in sports arenas, warehouses and bingo halls, not Broadway and nobody is going to win a Tony Award. It's the most diverse set of performers on the planet. Giants, little people, amputees, LGBT, people from every corner of the planet.

I've seen videos of someone with cerebral palsy doing this. But the #1 demand is to always to play to a mass audience, leading to some of the most clever and some ... not so clever .... representations of these folks. Really, it's basically the world's most populist artform.
