I actually liked 50 shades, once I got past the formulaic "a young and inexperienced but brave girl meets a sexy and powerful but troubled man" and the ever-present muggle plot, and I did not have trouble appreciating the good bits.
What I do not get is professional wrestling and its close cousin in poorly done fakery, professional porn. I have no idea how to find something worth appreciating there, even though millions of people get off on either.
Professional wrestling does a lot of interesting fourth-wall breaking/meta plots etc. Parts of the scripted tensions might be about contract negotiations or about a wrestler being frustrated with being scripted to lose a bunch of matches, so tonight you know he's meant to lose, and the tension is about whether he'll choose to.
I had an ex-bf who basically wrote wrestling fanfic, and it got me a bit sucked into the layers upon layers of artifice. (Still didn't care much about the physical wrestling part).
