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? 🤔🤔

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.
