Recently I came across this awesome video where an out-of-shape non-wrestler learns how to take a body slam in 24 hours. It's a really fun video, and I think it actually does a service to the industry instead of a disservice. It shows how gruelling the sport is and that the pain is real.
What do you think?

Of course as soon as you say "predetermined" to counter the fake argument, they've already left the chat.

The video is perfectly fine because it's easy to take such a simple maneuver for granted. The guy was also cast perfectly and it wasn't like he was being pushed into a prominent position.
I still think there is a limit and when you book a Sean Ross Sapp vs. Shazza McKenzie match, you're poisoning the well. Matches like that become a reflection of the industry and does more harm than good because you can easily write the whole thing off as a dog and pony show as opposed to actual up and coming talents working on their craft to the point where you'll pay to see them perform.
I think there's been a real push for inclusivity in Pro Wrestling and I don't buy it. If you don't have one athletic muscle in your body and you suck at the craft you're a disgrace to the industry.

Public just won't let the fraud go. It's a weird sticking point, but I guess once they know you're a con artist it's hard to shake.
