Steveviscious89 does not have that much rep yet (10+)
Well....that was a good segment, but that's kind of beside the point here.

The fact is the older you get, and also depending on other outside factors, the harder it is to become emotionally invested in something that you know is not real. You could go back and watch the old footage and I'll bet you find yourself a little less enchanted with it....I know that's how I am. So...I find it hard to judge for myself how good or bad wrestling is...all I know is that not as many people are interested in it and the number keeps dropping every year. So....I don't necessarily think the reason you don't watch anymore is the for same reason that WWE isn't as popular anymore...I just think that's more of an age thing.

I wonder if anyone has ever made this argument for television and movies at large.

I do. I always criticize Hollywood for remaking everything and the lack of originality.

But do you criticise them for being fake because you've got older and can no longer get as invested in a scripted medium?

Who are you accusing of posing?
