I don't get the "it's scripted" criticism
so are lots of things
I mean yes I get that wrestling tries harder to keep up the illusion (or at least it used to) but nobody goes into Avengers saying "man this is so fake"
Yeah I think basically the "it's scripted" criticism is an evolution of the "you know it's fake, right?" crowd.
People used to - and still do, though to a lesser extent - talk down to wrestling fans and criticise them for actually believing it is "real", though very few people actually do at this point.
But now more and more people are realizing that isn't a tenable position anymore so the new criticism is "how can you enjoy this if you know it's fake?" It's like trackable progress.
On top of all that, you are responding to Smurf, and if ever there was a user who has literally not made a single good post in about a decade of posting on board 8...
