Fake wrestling is a joke. The guys are in great shape though. (although most, if not all are on steroids). I watched it when I was a kid but can't stand to watch it now.

People (outside of the south) still consider pro wrestling a sport?

I'm in the south. No. Not a sport. There is no winner based on skill.

They's athletes in the same way acrobats and gymnasts are.

They are strong and they can fly through the air with the greatest, but it a soap-opera with overpayed acrobatic actors in great shape. It's more entertainment than sport, but discounting them as sportsmen really discounts the training that's required to stay in such great shape and do what they do. It's like trying to discount a mechanic as an overpayed tool organizer.
