As wrestling fans, we know that it is scripted entertainment. Most are able to recognize the dedication, sacrifice, and punishment that our favorite wrestlers go through for our enjoyment.
Here was Edge’s response to the question:
Ive always wondered why WWE wrestlers take pride in winning championship belts. Its scripted. Its like Tom Hanks bragging to people in real life that he faught in ‘Nam cause Forrest Gump did

No, it’s not. It’s pride in being recognized for hard work. I would guess Hanks is proud of winning the Oscar for best actor for his hard work in Forrest Gump. Or because it’s scripted does that not count? Plus, it’s fought, not faught. #TheMoreYouKnow #imcranky https://t.co/8BmpFHHpQ5

A pretty perfect response.
