The sports cheating & corruption scandals never end, do they?
Might that be a principal reason for the popularity of American "Professional" Wrestling? There's little need to cheat when the matches and outcomes are obviously scripted.
- beart 2y agoThere has always been cheating. I suspect we've just gotten better at detecting it.
- bell-cot 2y agoHas detection gotten better, or is it merely the scandals of yesteryear fading from memory? "Say it ain't so, Joe."
- gpxyz 2y agoOn the contrary, I think part of the appeal of professional wrestling is that the cheating itself is scripted and part of the spectacle. Scandals and drama draw the most views, wrestling just guarantees it'll be part of the show.
