People know pro wrestling is rigged, but still watch. Possibly the suspension of disbelief makes it possible to get into a specific game. And it is entertaining. Two good games yesterday, if you weren't a Chiefs or Cowboys fan.
Chiefs and Cowboys got completely robbed by the NFL and their officials. But anyone paying attention knew that was going to happen...

I watch pro wrestling, that is a completely different kind of fandom. You don't get emotionally invested in wins and losses. You might think they are screwing a dude over not using him right but that's about it.
You can literally cheer for your favorite guy on the roster who very well might be the best wrestler there knowing he'll never be champion and there's nothing he can really do about it.
Wrestling doesn't get the kind of emotions "real sports" do other than maybe occasionally when a guy like Daniel Bryan was finally given his spot. But those are for different reasons.
