In an interview with the CBS affiliate in Washington, D.C., TNA Wrestling superstar Mr. Anderson responded to people who state that professional wrestling is fake.

“When people found out it wasn’t a legitimate sport, it sort of gained that infamy or notoriety. It’s interesting when people say that it’s fake, yet they’ll go to the movies and watch the X-Men and watch people fly through the air. People get shot with bullets and the bullets bounce off of them. People turn into liquid metal and stuff like that and they look at that stuff and say that’s cool and that’s entertaining, but when they watch what we do, we’re not trying to pull the wool over anybody’s eyes.”
