It was once said to me that wrestlers are conning people out of their money. I thought about this just now and came to the conclusion that they aren't conning people if the people know that it's scripted. Of course that only works if people do know that. I have never attended a wrestling event nor have I spoken to a great many wrestling fans, so I can't say for sure what proportion of people know that it's 'sports-entertainment'. I imagine that it is only the kids up to age 10 who think it is real. There is a video on youtube where a man calls in on a tv show which the wrestler Edge is on and the man who has a son states that wrestling is real, and the wrestler himself lets him down bluntly. I theorise that this is an extreme case and that nearly every adult with children or without knows that it is scripted but perhaps I will be shown otherwise. Either way I just want a consensus.
