I understand why people would be turned off by wrestling, but I just don't think that the show trying to pretend its real during the show is the issue I can agree with.
The show is more towards kids now, and has lost a lot of older viewers because of it. I know my friends and I watch it while playing Madden ect. I enjoy it, I don't mind saying that. Some of it is more so from enjoying how bad it is an a funny way, but of course there are story lines I enjoy.

I think most people have a show that may not be emmy-worth that they watch. Its more about enjoyment, perhaps nostalgia, that keeps some like myself watching. You enjoy watching your guy win like you enjoy somebody on Lost proven right or something like that.
They really don't try to pretend its real aside from trying to protect the integrity of the show much like how nobody on Seinfeld would turn mid scene and say, he this isn't real. In fact, there are plenty of segments where they actually do make comments on it being fake that only kids wouldn't pick up on.
