I always explain it as base theater. It's a simple theater-in-the-round morality tale of good vs evil with two people telling the story through their bodies. The tradition goes all the way back to the Greeks. As far as the fake thing, that's theater. That's film. That's TV. It's all fake. Anyone who gets upset that wrestling is "fake" are the same people who watch Jurassic Park and get upset that the dinosaurs weren't real.
It's all theater, it's all entertainment. And as with any live performance, if it's being performed by people who are experts at their craft, it can transcend into art.
