>>9760317It's actually because people are fucking retarded
As a gullible homeschooled kid with zero knowledge of fighting who believed in young earth because my parents told me it was true and etc etc, I still immediately knew wrestling was painfully fake the first time I saw the pointless pauses in between big simultaneous moves and how they obviously cooperate and jump with each other and so on.
It's really, really, really obvious. It can't be explained away by TV being new and lack of special effects making people take everything at face value, too. The carnie shit had been going on for centuries with the gypsies and it was always the dumbest of the dumb who got taken in by the spectacle and believed it.
People STILL pay for palm readings and horoscope shit and not just for the novelty
People are retarded
