WWE's Xavier Woods has a perfect response to people who say wrestling is fake
People who don't enjoy professional wrestling for what it is are always quick to exclaim that wrestling is "fake," seemingly unaware of the fact that wrestling fans both understand and accept that the outcomes of matches are predetermined. WWE has always made it very clear that it produces "sports entertainment" rather than just pure sport, but that doesn't mean that pro wrestlers aren't gifted athletes or that they aren't risking bodily harm with each and every performance.
The New Day's Xavier Woods wrote a thoughtful and passionate response to a Twitter user earlier this month who called pro wrestling fake, and perfectly explained why millions of people all over the world still tune in every week to see "one of the last forms of Shakespeare in the round."
