The flip side is that Brock Lesnar actually beats people up and people probably think it's fake. So I dunno.
That's the biggest hurdle to get past to make people think it's real again. You can frame the matches in "real" stories, you can have the guys say "shoot" lines, you can layer on "real sports" presentation but ultimately when they get in the ring it won't look real. Every time someone does an Irish Whip the questions will begin.
