    I DARE you to google “WWF king of the ring”, and then click the images tab.

    Yes, pro wrestling is all bullshit, but the difference is actual kings wear that garb as tradition dating back hundreds of years. WWF/WWE only did this shit for like 15 years, before they realized it’s stupid. But they still DID it for 15 years.

      That’s an appeal to tradition fallacy. Just because they’ve been doing crazy and wasteful stuff for a long time doesn’t make it objectively less crazy and wasteful.

        What exactly is wasteful about wearing some old clothes for a ceremony?

        A ceremony that brings in significant funds through tourism.
