You have guys/girls acting and pretending to fight each other, but you also have guys/girls acting and pretending to be wizards and some acting and pretending to talk to dragons or whatever the hell Game of Thrones is about.
But yet, the wizards and dragons stuff is considered "cool" because why?
Who decides these things?
Who decides that watching wrestling is "embarrassing" but watching children wave sticks around and shout made up words is "cool"?

This is very true. I often think about this. People still seem to latch onto how fake it is as an argument. Do you think hold some sort of cultural grudge over being lied to? Is the presentation anachronistic and too testosterone-driven to be deemed as tasteful in today's day and age?
Trends aren't always logical. Dominant entertainment companies seem to be the ones that respond best to them or find ways to dictate what the trend is going to be. There may not be a logical explanation as to why Game of Thrones is cool but professional wrestling isn't, but you can't argue against the perception. It's how things are.
