what i don't get is why people get so smug about pointing out that it's not real. like no poo poo it's not real, it's a tv series. whether or not it is real presumably doesn't affect how much you enjoy watching the show. walter white isn't real but people don't go around pointing this out and acting like you shouldn't watch breaking bad because IT'S ALL JUST PLANNED OUT AHEAD OF TIME AND FAKED

I havent watched a wrestling match on television since I was 10 but a little while back I got sucked in by OSW Reviews & wikied a ton of wrestling history. Holy poo poo the psychotic business dealings and roided up adult children throwing millions of dollars around unchecked for decades and losing it all is far better drama than what they put on air. also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJAfyDY-rSo

Hulk Hogan convinced the guy who ran WCW to give a 45 year old Roddy Piper with one hip a job for hundreds of thousands of dollars so he could get his win back from nearly 15 years earlier in what was considered one of the worst matches of all time he then convinced them to do the same thing with ultimate warrior

i lied, the actual funniest is when kevin nash jumped from wwf to wcw for some obscene amount of ted turner money. vince mcmahon said "dammit, we own him, get me a new one" so on TV they announced that he was COMING BACK to WWF. the wcw management freaked out thinking he was really going back to wwf and offered him an even bigger contract for less shows and he didn't tell them a thing and signed it then fake kevin nash appeared on tv and they were like "welp"
