I get why kids like it, I just expect that when they grow up, if there's still and interest in that sort of thing, they start watching cage fighting, or boxing, or any other fighting based sport.
I guess it's cultural. I would be very surprised if there were more adults in the UK watching wrestling than there are kids. When I watched it as a kid, adults were always telling me it's bollocks. Maybe in USA, kids watch it with their parents, thus reinforcing the cultural significance.
Certainly, there's something I'm missing here.
