In a recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, actor Patton Oswalt defended people who continue to view pro wrestling as fake, noting that while it is scripted, these are still people putting their bodies on the line.

“Yes it’s scripted, but it’s scripted mayhem and destruction, they are scripting out these men and women going, ‘in this script, you are going to fall 40 feet onto a table of glass’. Yes, we scripted that to happen, but it’s still a person doing that, there is a level of adrenaline junkie-ness and athleticism that goes beyond, I think athletics, so when people are like, yeah, wrestling’s fake, yeah, no s***. Different time zones, bad jet lag, bad food. These people that have to be in peak physical condition under the worst conditions to maintain that.”
