Come on admit it when you very first watched wrestling you believed it was real and you were sucked in. Then the doubts crept in and you started to realise that if this was actually real some of these moves would lead to certain death, some would possibly cripple and others would surely break bones. Nope, not even a wrestler can defy gravity or shake off what seemed to be an severely injured leg or arm in a matter of seconds. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that half of those moves just wouldn't come off in the other guy didn't want them to. (just watch Finlay v Black Prince when Dave Finlay refuses to play ball)
So what was your job as a wrestler?, to win the bout we all thought. Yet the reality was that your job was to keep your opponent safe, make him look good and sell the bout to the crowd and his job was to do the same for you.
How long did it take for you to figure this out (be honest now!) and once we did why did we still remain interested? Also if you paid money in good faith to see what was sold as a genuine competitive fight, would you not have grounds to sue? I wonder if anyone ever did?
Matches know as "Strong Style" these days make Professional Wrestling worth watching and always did
