It might be scripted but still demands more from a person than any other sportsman, being on the road 300+ days a year and the punishment wrestlers take is incredible. I always use this quote for people who don't 'get' pro wrestling,'
"To a critic, no explanation will do. To a fan, no explanation is needed."
I'm not trying to shit on wrestling because I liked it as a kid and still appreciate why people enjoy it today, but I find it insulting when people compare it to actual sporting competitions. Please don't twist my words and make out that I said wrestlers have it easy because I never said that, nor did I underestimate how tough a career it is to do.
What I will say is that the drama of a proper sport like MMA, where the result is completely undetermined and comes down to the skills of each fighter, will always be more exciting than what a bunch of writers sitting around in a room can come up with. It's like apples and oranges and shouldn't even be compared.
