What do you say to people that tell you this? Personally, I say, "no shit" and keep on moving.

One of three things. A.)  Vehemently deny it and flame them like a Youtuber. B.)  Act shocked and say little after as though they just burst a serious bubble for me. C.)  Simply agree with them. It all depends on what mood I'm in and how dumb they are. |

A. Give them a complete and utterly shocked look. Then go into a whole speil about how i've based my life entirely around the industry... and to find out it was all a bunch of LIES! And now bacause of them... because they have shown me the light and the error of my ways... that my life can truely change for the better. And i follow it with a deep heart fealt "Thank you!!"
B. Make sure i'm around whenever they are watching some program/movie they like and continue to say "that's fake you know... they aren't really doing that" over and over again til they get the point
whatever my mood is at the time...
EDIT... wow... my tpying needs wokr

People tell wrestling fans that wrestling is fake because they think that the fans think it's real.

I just say what my buddy Dave used to say ... Wrestling is not fake ... it's staged.

How do you learn to fall of a 20 foot ladder.
Usually I just say "Yes I've known for some time. Your point?"

i ask them if they know stuff like die hard etc is also 'fake'.. and when they sarcastically say 'yes' to me i then ask them why they enjoy it if its fake... confuses the hell out of people |

"Well, yeah" And then I blaspheme their deepest held beliefs, and disparage the ability of their favorite sportsteam. Because I went to the Elijah Wood Mark School.

If it's a woman, I say, "So are your boobs." If it's a man, I say, "So are your wife's boobs."
Ok, I don't say that, but it sounds good.
I generally don't dignify them with a response. Essentially, they're insulting me by insinuating that I'm either stupid enough or naive enough to believe it's a completely authentic sport.

"So are your girlfriend's orgasms." You forgot unless she's with me and she is with me. Every night she leaves your house unsatisfied you limp prick chump!!! Of course this could potentially get you into a lot of fights. Be sure to deliver it as a builing promo would be. |

If I'm feeling talkative, I usually correct them and talk about all the hard work most wrestlers go through to get where they are, blah blah blah., until they give and either say ok, ok or say "Oh...I didn't know that."
If not, I smile and say, "Well, it's more real than those stupid soap operas that YOU watch."
In any event, this is one of my pet peeves. Especially these self-righteous MMA fans...sorry, the stuff bores me. I need the bad acting and crazy outfits and knowing that, at the end of the night, for the most part, the guys/girls aren't REALLY sending each other to the ER.

Here's my usual set of replies:
_"and that's coming from a guy/girl who watches BIG BROTHER??" (obviously, that one only works with people who like "reality" shows);
_"So is Enter the Matrix you know. Neo is not actually called Neo, or even Anderson, he's called Keanu Reeves. And he didn't really dodge these bullets;"
_"Fake?? You mean I made up The Undertaker, Kane, Hulk Hogan, Ted DiBiase, Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio, Mickie James, Trish Stratus, The Rock, the WWE, Raw, SmackDown!, ECW, the rings, the arenas, the finishers, the three counts, the rope breaks, he belts, I MADE UP AN ENTIRE SPORT WITH A HALL OF FAME AND ALL THAT S***?? Now I know I have a lot of imagination but damn;"
_"So?"
_"Go say that to Mick Foley, Kurt Angle, Edge and Sabu;"
_"Say that to a wrestler and see for yourself how fake their fists feel." (this one is only if the guy/girl is a complete moron)

Simply agree with them.
"Is there a problem here?"
