    I believe most viewers think hugging makes the sport a bit boring to watch.

    It’s a sport before entertainment.

        Based on my experiences trying to watch baseball, no.

        Sports entertainment isn’t the same as sport. Sport is controlled by a state commission and sports entertainment, notably professional wrestling, is not. It’s what allows wrestlers to use steroids whereas boxers or mma fighters cannot. (Not an expert, just trying to describe the jist of things)
