Dear Princess Cell in a Hell,
For some unknown reason, it took my genius ass until now to realize professional wrestling isn’t real.
People have been paying money for a lie. This can’t be allowed to continue. There should be a disclaimer on every advertisement, every ticket, and every piece of merchandise. The people have a right to know. Never mind the fact that they’re all fully aware already, I’m more concerned with making everything more boring and transparent for my own sake. I can’t waste precious brain cells thinking about what I’m seeing, I need to be explicitly told when things are exaggerated for entertainment purposes, otherwise I might get sucked into the magic of the moment and start enjoying myself.
No fun allowed,
The Purple Plague

Why am I picturing a Filly Twilight doing a body slam on Shining Armor right now?
Oh god, these names get better and better
Oh I remember when I , by mistake , made my best bud learn that Pro Wrestling wasn't real because I thought it was common knowledge and I brought it up casually in a conversation . Guy was so broken by the news he refused to talk to me for a WHOLE WEEK XD . But we still are best friends tho .
Just because Professional Wrestling is staged doesn't mean it's not real.
It's OK that Wrestling isn't "Real", But Don't Let This Distract You From the Fact That In 1998, The Undertaker Threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and He Plummeted Sixteen Feet Through the Spanish Announcer's Table

Honestly, I am really sick of people saying wrestling is "Real" I mean, sure, Storylines and all that is staged, and fiction, but the wrestlers are real athletes, injuring themselves for our amusement, so, wrestling is as real as it can get.
It's arguably more impressive that it's staged. Think about it. They're all actors who do their own stunts! Every pro wrestler is a double threat at minimum.
Wait, if wrestling is fake, is sex also fake? Sine sex is just lewd wrestling than it has to be fake as well.

Not sure if this is really coming from Anon or Twilight.
American wrestling might be fake, but the Mexican one?
That one's hardcore, and show plus fighting rolled into one.
I think there is a story about an American wrestler having his ass handed over by his Mexican counterpart, but I can't be bothered to remember when I heard such.
I think it's a bit demeaning to say wrestling is fake. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely staged but I wouldn't use the term fake. It's like calling Hamilton or Avenue Q fake, it's not faking its acting. Using the word fake just makes it sound malicious.
In my honest opinion it is real and fake at the same time.
The story is fake.
The actual matches are real.
The story changes depending on the match.
If wrestler 1 wins, we get story A.
If wrestler 2 wins, we get story B.

I don't believe you. If your friend watched wrestling actively and didn't know it was fake, either it was the seventies and Kayfabe was still strong, or your friend was an absolute idiot beyond measure. The last twenty+ years of wrestling have been extremely open about wrestling being fake. They call it sports entertainment, and fans explicitely complain about the scripting of matches and story arcs.
I get the impression that too many people put too much thought into the idea that wrestlers are, in essence, actors putting on a show. It's a performance, yes, but unless the fight is fixed (not rigged, but thoroughly fixed in that both combatants in any given fight are in on some kind of conspiracy where one is going to lose and they know it), the part that people pay money to see is entirely real. Honestly having a narrative woven around the fight ought to enrich the experience, since it takes the fight beyond what would otherwise be just another combat sport.

He didn't watch wrestling a lot , just occasionally . But he really liked it for reasons I don't know . And since we both are French , it's way less developed here , meaning things like that are not common knowledge (something that I often forget , like a lot of other things English/American since I am bilingual).

Why am I imagining Tiny Twi watching pro wrestling with Little Armor and the both of them cheering and oh dear I need some insulin.
I'm also figuring that Luchadores also have to wear pants, because of cutie marks. Imagine the drama!

I think this is anon exaggerating Twilight's discovery as a form of ribbing.

No mask on the face, only the cutie mark for El Tiburon, Shark of the Land!
Okay. I laughed my redacted politically incorrect term off at this wrestling outrage of Purple Smart.

The greatest luchadore to ever live! He wrestled a dragon to death at level 3!

I made a grapplemancer character and managed to outwrestle a GOD at level 10.
Keep the awesomeness goin!
I see Twilight has been pranked to think pro wrestling is fake. What's next? Will she be manipulated thinking anime is a lie as well?
She is actually right.
I mean, otherwise she would run out of stock in no time...
Wow, Twilight, thanks. We always needed a buzzkill, and you seem to work great.

Even worse. She'll be introduced to a carefully picked selection of it. Every piece of which contradicts a few other for just a tiny bit.
Wait till she realizes Cheerlie's moonlighted as a pro wrestler.
(Yes, really. In the comics.)
