@chjara The main functional difference though is that it’s more like soap operas rather than reality TV. Like, reality TV is certainly manufactured, but most of it is “authentic”, whereas wrestling involves kayfabe (willing audience participation and suspension of disbelief) where everyone buys into the Lore.
