Why do people get emotionally involved in movies? Why to people cheer heroes and boo bad guys in movies? Why do people watch sitcoms, TV dramas, and reality shows? We connect with characters. In a way, they're doing something we'd like to do. We live vicariously through them. It's not just wrestling that we get attached to, it's a lot of TV and movies. Whether it's hitting a moonsault to win a title or slaying a dragon or getting that flamingly hot girl to love you, we emotionally connect to movies and shows because they fullfill some internal need or desire that we may very well never be able to fullfill in our lifetime.
So that's my serious answer. It's really just a natural aspect of human existence.
