Anime? I'd call them soap operas instead.

Depends on the Wrestling Show. Lots of styles across different promotions. You don't really get the "man raised from dead" or "custody of child" shenanigans much any more. Closest you get are cults. Definitely feels a bit more like Sports anime nowadays. Or just general dramas.

Probably still the best analogy as it's a guilty pleasure for most who don't want to explain it as a mix of gymnastics, dance and storytelling. Maybe "Manly Ballet" is a better equivalent (albeit a bit non-progressive, I just can't think of a better term but hopefully the analogy comes across)

What if you put the audio of WWE over soap operas. Or Vice-versa

Back when I used to smoke weed I would watch the bold and the beautiful dubbed into spanish.

I dont speak spanish and I dont watch the Bold and the Beautiful.

But something about the shitty acting, shitty plot, shitty writing, shitty dub, the words not matching their mouths became some strange hypnotic type shit where if I would zone out of the world, zone in on the tv and my brain would fill in the blanks and I would swear to god that I completely understood everything that was said.

Haha love it! There is so much non-verbal communication as well

I think it would change between the two depending if the announcer or wrestler shouts the name of their move to make it more powerful
