Why do people hate wrestling

So the sports fans hate us and everything we love about wrestling. Maybe professional wrestling is just entertainment. However the media has never been good for the WWE, with talk of death and steroid use being the most talked about wrestling item on the news shows. I love how they fail to mention WWE's tireless humanitarian work with "Make a Wish" and how they go overseas every year during Christmas. Great, so the entertainment world hates us too. WWE claims to be "Sports Entertainment", but both the sports world and entertainment world want nothing to do with professional wrestling?

What is the problem? Why does it have such a bad reputation? Why do people hate professional wrestling? I think I know now. They hate it because they do not understand it and they can't figure it out. Its much like my High School. I'm made fun of and ridiculed by the jocks and the preps because I'm not like them and they don't understand me. They can't figure me out so they cast me aside and make fun of me. I think I told the linebacker of my High School football team to go suck on the Reciever's "you know what" get it?

Good thing I can run fast. People like my mother hate professional wrestling and will spend their whole life hating the sport, typically because they think everything that happens in the ring is fake.

And yet, Wrestlemania, which happens every year, is the biggest televised wrestling show of the year, garnering more than one million viewers and over different WWE related social media hashtags.

On April 8, Wrestlemania took place in New Orleans and the show lasted more than seven hours. Fans had already expected Roman Reigns to win in the main event. In the main event, Roman Reigns was punched three times in the head by Brock Lesnar. The three punches were rough enough to cut his head and make him bleed. Bleeding in WWE is a rare occurrence, but it does happen. And yet, critics still say wrestling is fake, even though the moves and spots they do in the ring is far from it.

Fans of wrestling do not watch it for the scripted events, they watch it for the entertainment. Yes, wrestling is fake to a certain degree, but who cares? Yeah, I know. There are people in wrestling companies that get paid to write storylines and determine who wins and who loses. Every single aspect of a wrestling match is scripted so each wrestler can show off their skills to the fans, according to the WWE.

And yet, unexpected, unscripted things can and do happen. Alcaraz has been training to become a professional wrestler for almost seven months now.

He trains at Santino Bros. Most recently, Ronda Rousey trained there before her big debut this last January. Concussions, steroids, drug addiction, deaths and other real tragedies have too often turned up in the lives of performers in the long history of the business.

For all of the bright colors, larger-than-life characters and other happy aspects of pro wrestling, fans also see the darker side in which real people's lives take turns for the worse. In fairness, the industry itself cannot shoulder the blame for how adults' lives turn out, but fans have seen a disturbing trend in tragedies, often in the post-wrestling careers of the individuals.

Bad storytelling. In all fairness, it's hard to write good television, let alone for one of the longest-running live episodic shows in the medium's history. So WWE and other companies deserve their share of freebies if certain storylines totally bomb with fans. But whether it's with extended and open-ended feuds or individual matches, we'll forever see illogical developments, turnsm new alliances and flat-out nonsensical narrative devices that make some fans want to take a folding chair to the dome.

Recent head-scratchers? Fan favorite and recently cut superstar Damien Sandow's alliance and subsequent feud with The Miz, a fun old school approach that fizzled out and wasted Sandow's momentum. Also: No one can explain why Shane McMahon still has any power over Raw after his WrestleMania 32 match stipulation clearly said that if he lost to the Undertaker, he wouldn't get control. But sure, why not? Wasted potential.

The unlimited potential for promising wrestlers, matches or storylines too often goes unrealized in the WWE, leaving fans perplexed. Take Brock Lesnar's , for example. Everyone knows Lesnar's potential, much of which has been undoubtedly realized by WWE. But the company's biggest money and ratings draw had a subpar year following the big news he'd given up MMA and signed a new deal with Vince McMahon.

What followed was a wasted feud with Seth Rollins to make way for a tired showdown with The Undertaker, plus a trip to the mid-card where he beat down Dean Ambrose in a disappointing no-DQ match at WrestleMania No wonder Lesnar went back to UFC this month.

Speaking of Ambrose, it's a wonder when obvious fan favorites like him Dolph Ziggler, Cesaro, Cody Rhodes recently released and others fail to get the spotlight we all think they deserve. Only in did the WWE finally change its female division title to the Women's Championship, replacing "Divas," a moniker unfit for the women who continue to transcend the sport on many levels, frequently equaling the quality of the men's in-ring product.

Particularly during the Attitude Era, the objectification of women in different capacities became too trendy in the business, not just the WWE.

We're glad the company took the step to incorporate "women" into the brand, but it honestly feels too little, too late. Watch a segment like this one involving Triple H, Trish Stratus and Stephanie McMahon, one of the many that used women on air for one purpose. Ignoring fan voices.

Fans cries for changes in pro wrestling often fall to deaf ears. For two years now, the WWE has pushed him on fans as the new face of the company, and for two years, the fans have said no. They do not want to cheer him as their new superhero. In fact, they boo him all the time, and yet, the WWE insists he's "the guy" and won't budge on it.
