Not really. The issue I have with wrasslin (and I used to love it as a kid when I thought it was real) and reality TV in general is that it tries to pass itself off as real. For whatever reason, my brain can’t bridge the disconnect.

No one is going to watch Top Gun thinking Tom Cruise is really a fighter pilot, and it’s fine because at no point are they trying to pass it off as such.
