That was, if I remember correctly, during an entrance thing - up high and stuff.
It was absolutely nothing to do with the fighting itself.

The aforementioned, however, don't oh-so-comically try to look hard while strutting towards a ring - raising eyebrows, staring at the crowd, whatever - all the while in spandex.

Think about it, little boy, and you might realise the unchartable stupidity of that comment.

They don't follow a script. They are given brief details of what to include in a match.
They do put their asses on the line. Owen Hart put his ass on the line, and look what happened.

Fake, scripted - not much of a difference. Fair enough, you get hurt, but they don't "put their asses on the line". They get paid to follow a script and simulate beating the hell out of each other. Accidents happen.

Which reminds me, go read Have A Nice Day and look at the bit about all of Foley's injuries. THEN come back and say wrestling is fake.
