    When will the “erm, don’t you know wrestling is fake” people get it through their damn heads that it’s not fake it’s fictional! You don’t go up to someone watching a TV drama and start lecturing them about how it’s not real, do you???

      It’s the same as watching a news source that for years swears to you that something is true and then quietly comes back and tells you that in fact it was not true. There is a long list of mainstream media “sorry we were only joking” incidents over the years. Yet people continue to watch never questioning whether or not they are being lied to .

      I think it’s either Americans who feel angry and betrayed because they actually thought Rey Mysterio was getting choked by Kane, and the other group of Americans who, because they had more than two working brain cells, understood it was just TV but is still annoyed by the first group’s antics.
