I don't quite understand what you mean by that.
Are the betrayed reactionaries the ones who have seen the sun, or the ones who fight to remain in the shadow realm?

In some ways both,
those who, having seen the sun, regret the dissolution of the enjoyable shadows and want them back.
See also father Christmas etc.
I have no problem with wrestling, it seems like a series of well planned tricks which simulate violence with far fewer injuries.

There's plenty of proper wrestling out there,
e.g. Sumo, various styles from south-east Europe/west Asia, etc.

Of course, I just meant the fun commercial sort.

Not wishing to burst your bubble but quite a lot of those things are fixed to some degree too, they just really lay it in.
E.g. Japanese shoot wrestling and MMA promotions such as UWF, Pride FC, and IGF were 99.9% fixed. Early UFC was a worked advertisement for Gracie Jujitsu (pretty much all the Gracies worked for promotions that have subsequently been outed for matchfixing, Royce's arch rivals Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn are pro wrestlers). Even sumo has had match fixing scandals in recent years.
Even supposedly legit promotions manage and matchmake in creative ways to generate the outcomes they most desire.
