please also educate the little kid about WWE fight reality and ask them to take it as a fun and not take it seriously as fight in WWE are fake and staged as children trying to copy these move at home and school and can cause fatal injury to them as WWE professional are highly trained and they master the move so that no one got injured and all security measured are taken by security staff . It is not real wrestling what its show wiz business.

@Dove if your father is a wrestling fan, ask him to watch some real wrestling - not fake WWE. Or maybe he can just watch 'Dangal' instead.
