So, there’s a certain level of suspension of disbelief that has to be done by the audience in order to enjoy the show. The purpose of the wrestlers is to entertain the audience in that state, which can be as simple as chain wrestling (which is only really enjoyed by a certain segment of hardcore fans) or as convoluted as a swanton bomb (which is a flip off the top rope). It’s more vaudeville, but it allows individual wrestlers to better adapt tge story of the match to the emotions in the audience. For example, at wrestlemania x8, hulk hogan was to play the bad guy, and the rock the good guy. The audience, however, sided with Hogan, which caused a decision between the two wrestlers to wrestle in a way that aligned them with the opposite of what they initially entered the match for. It’s understanding audience psychology and being able to adapt on the fly, thus fulfilling the preconceptions of the audience. It’s amazing to watch to skilled workers be able to manipulate the audience to their advantage, but even more incredible to see the audience force the workers to change their direction mid-match.
