I never understood the whole "wrestling is fake" argument. That'd be like someone interviewing Hugh Jackman and saying, "You're not really a super hero!" Not only that, but Wrestlers have to perform LIVE, while movie actors get multiple takes. No one gives due credit anymore.

[@TheRubberStudiosASMR]

But he isn’t really a superhero

[@TravelingPhilosopher]

It is like attending a Les Miserables show and saying "You do know that it is not a real resistance right?". In pro wrestling, the word fake has a negative connotation because people sometimes assume that it doesn't hurt, that it is easy and that it is not an art. The better word would be pre-determined, it is a live action theater.

On the throne reaction, he's probably a little pissed back then but the laughter was probably coming off as a "well played".
