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).
