Rampage Jackson: If you hate pro wrestling, then don’t watch ‘fake’ action movies

Well, fake action movies don’t have a long and ugly history of pretending to be real, whereas wrestling long pretended to be an actual, non-scripted sport. The movie industry also don’t have a history of feeding their talent dangerous anabolic steroids or demanding actors maintain a massive body mass index. Probably most importantly wrestlers aren’t protected by a labor union and have thus been badly abused and financially exploited for decades.
