For most of the twentieth century, professional wrestling was portrayed to the viewing public as 'real', often despite featuring laughably outlandish characters and obvious fakery; in this form it could at one point be seen as [[deceit]]ful and thus previously inconsistent with [[Christian]] [[values]]. However, in the present day professional wrestling is more honest about being scripted and the overwhelming majority of fans are 'in' on the secret, but still watch in appreciation of the entertainment value, athletic prowess and sometimes [[humor]] on display.
