The part that's gonna get you, is when you realize wrestling is just like every other TV show and movie...it's ALL fake. Everyone on everything you watch is fake.
Reality shows are scripted, sports are rigged, characters in TV shows are just actors pretending to feel emotions.
When you think about it this way, you can realize that wrestling is actually a cross between a live-theater performance and a circus act.
They need memorization, speaking skills, the strength, the coordination, the balance, and the timing to pull off all the stunts they need to do all while staying in character. They are actors who are their own stunt team and they only get one take because its always in front of a live audience, regardless of it's a dark show or not.
So in a way, wrestling is actually MORE impressive when you find out these people aren't actually just big strong idiots starting petty squabbles over any little thing, and throwing out random moves til someone stays down.
