I.e., it's all make-believe, bluff and bluster, but entertains some people anyhow.
I used to have massive rows with my Dad and Gran when I was in my teens, when they used to watch the Wrestling on ITV, at about 5pm on a Saturday.
There were these fellas, all brawn and muscle (or usually chips and pie bellied), throwing themselves and each other around the ring, whilst Dad and Gran used to watch, on the edge of their seats.
I'd be screaming blue murder : "Noooo, it's all a play act, how can you watch this knowing that it's completely false ? Are you retards ?"
But watch it they did.
Looking back, I guess they just wanted to be "entertained", and realism was not important.
