Fake is such a horrible word to describe pro wrestling. When it comes to the in ring action and physicality of what goes on in there, there is nothing fake about it. I put up a tweet the other day comparing pro wrestling to Cirque de Soleil. Cirque de Soleil is a choreographed athletic performance, so is wrestling. Does that make Cirque de Soleil any less real? All of the things that they're doing, all the physicality, the gymnastics, the trapeze, the flips, the falls, everything, it's all real, just like it is in the middle of a wrestling ring."
"The term that I have always loved for pro wrestling and I don't think many people in the United States have maybe even heard this term. It's cool I like to refer to it as fighting opera."
