I don't understand this question - professional wrestling is a form of sport/entertainment and generally irrelevant to international relations. Is "wrestling" supposed to be a metaphor for something else?

It doesn't reflect well on the average American when obviously fake moves are acceptable in professional wrestling.

Brother, you are missing the point entirely. Maybe not entirely your fault you don’t understand if you did not grow up in the US or Mexico.

WWE is a soap opera, not a sport. There are impressive feats of athleticism/death defiance (Shane O Mac jumping off a 20 ft cage, etc), but nobody over the age of 6 thinks for a minute it’s actually a real competition.

Just because it is fake doesn't mean it won't be better by omitting obviously fake moves.

This is a really weird hill to die on
