We take these forms of entertainment way too serious. We all know professional wrestlers abuse steroids, but do we care?
"Professional wrestling" is not a sport...it's entertainment. Pro Baseball and football while..entertaining is still a professional sport. Watching pro wrestling is no different than going to see a movie. The actors just prepare for their parts.
