Critics will say this isn’t real

i saw it with my own eyes. what did you just see Bunny? What did you Just. See.
I am baffled that wrestling theater exists. It was cringe to me even as a young kid.
wrestling theatre (pro wrestling) is there for theatre kids who think theatre is too geeky for them but still like the acting and the showmanship. at least that’s how i feel about it. I absolutely love how welcoming how pro wrestling is to the special needs crowd, so you’ll get no criticism from me (until we start talking about the business end but i don’t know enough to criticise properly. i’d need a minute).
I used to follow a guy on Tumblr who ended up watching a lot of daytime TV while recuperating from surgery.
He came to the conclusion that wrestling was essentially a soap opera designed to be socially acceptable for men to watch.
South Park did an episode on that.
Or maybe soap operas are socially acceptable wrestling for women to watch? 🤔🤔
Wrasslin been around a lot longer than plays
Its definitely a soap opera but with some of the scratching clawing and punching that you only get 1 per 10 episodes of through the whole thing.
Bad over acting. Dramatic storylines. Murder, conspiracy and twins. Its absolutely ridiculous but I really like some of the people who have done clearly years of gymnastics to do their performance. Oh and caricature types like Boogs who looked like 1980s drag while shredding electric guitar.
Cringe and camp can be two sides of the same coin ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Pretty sure it’s fun for the actors. I don’t get watching it though.
It’s a thing people like. Everyone knows it’s staged,but it’s fun.
With the masks, this seems to be Mexican Lucha libre, which can get quite crazy (like Jesus fighting midgets or something) and quite a spectacle to beholdin person. I would completely recommend you go see a show if you’re ever in Mexico, great ambiance, greet fun
i wish i could get lucha libre on the tv.
wait fuck this is the internet i CAN get lucha libre on the tv. anyone got a good place to dive in?
Oh my god.
It’s a Jedi.
What atheist? Guy is just using the force.
Wait…… lord vader did have an apprentice
I love how the ref jumps to help sell the bumps
That’s totally biblical that Jesus would take your friend from behind while choking you out to the ground.
Nah, Jesus was a socialist. Hed be choking your friend while you both hit em from the back
Get behind me, Satan!
(˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵)
Pull my hair, Satan!
Equal shares for everyone.
American catolicism is really weird

Use the Force Choke, Jesus!
Watching this video made me an atheist.
Is today just holding that man by the balls for a bit there?
That’s totally coconuts!
Haha, okay but that’s more like Darth Vader.
I’m not going to let a post about “Jesus wrestling” go by without letting you know about our Lord and Saviour MDickie and his computer games.
Best known for making lovable janky wrestling games, he eventually branched out to making non-wrestling games where you:
Served your time in prison (via the medium of wrestling)
Followed the career of a musician (via the medium of wrestling)
And last but not least:
Lived the life of Jesus Christ (via the medium of wrestling)
The original, 3D classic - MDickie - The You Testament
The modern 2D remake - Steam - The You Testament 2D
Wasn’t there a movie about Jesus and wrestling the other year? Jesus training an MMA fighter in bible times?
