Nah, we're not watching them wrestle. We're talking about the difference. For many writers, low fantasy - fantasy that takes place in our world, whatever time period - is fun. You can focus on the plot twists and character, toss in paranormal details or magic, without having to come up with something other than Newton's laws.
The world was designed for you, and only the story - maybe a few other races of beings - are yours to create.
But in high fantasy, the world is yours. And so are the rules.
