These days? A lot of it is I'm afraid. I at least prefer "performance fighter" as Roman Reigns called himself. Some of today's younger talent look at it as cosplay and playing "wrassler" and with kayfabe long dead don't look at as even a pseudo sporting event. That's one reason I love NJPW. It's still treated as a sport there. Comedy has always had a place in pro wrestling but some of today's stuff is just too way over the top. I watched a Harley Race vs. Terry Funk match yesterday on Stone Cold Steve Austin's twitter feed. An absolute classic. I can tell you they wasn't doing "performance art" and didn't consider themselves performance artists...thank God.
