To me it is tradition, I have watch "fake" wrestling since I was about 3 years of age. Favor wrestler of all time would have to be Bret "The hitman" Hart. He really gave me my personality and whom I am today. I thank him alot for that. Anyways what is your opinion about this sport? To me it is a soap for men, it always has been. I enjoy it not for the almost naked men, but for the spirits of these wrestlers who give everything to please fans around the world. I wouldn't know how to act it my husband or wife were gone 365 days a year on business that involves this type of sport. I thank them for what they are doing. Before Judging remember that these wrestlers give up alot to entertain the world.

I have met Black Angus, Greg Lake, and The Patriot. All tell me the same thing. Is it fake? That's like asking if Desperate Housewives is fake. Neither are fake. They are what they are: entertainment. Injuries and deaths? Far less performers suffer injuries or death in pro wrestling than in the construction of a bridge. Any performer who deviates from the script other than ab lib comments, is drummed out and never will work again. Probably not even as an announcer, ticket seller, popcorn dude, or stuntman. The opportunity to injure someone within the pro wrestling establishment is so great, it is not, nor has it ever been tolerated. They are actors. It is a show. You must be a guy.\nMAXIM recently did a story on the 20 best performers in the modern hx of wrestling. Yes, Tommy (Hulk) Hogan, and Andre the Giant were amongst them. In 1980, a NY cabbie, who was born in NY with parents of mideastern descent, agreed to train for the role of the "Iron Shiek. The Iranian National Wrestling Champion". He could not lose - part of the deal. He was heckled, he took hostages twice, he tried to "kill" SGT. Slaughter, and never once did anyone even throw anything at him. Even \nthe old ladies there knew it was a show. 1980; think about it. Are there ANY smart dudes out there?

Depends on which type of wrestling we are talking about.  If we're talking WWE type wrestling it is scripted...BUT (big but) those guys and girls still take some shots and still get banged up.  They have to learn how to fall, get hit, etc and they do take those hits.\n\nIf we're talking about High School, College, or what they call "real pro wrestling" then that is real and is a true sport.  \n\nWWE, WWF, etc is purely for entertainment....other wrestling or "real" wrestling is a sport.\n\nGood luck with becoming a diva though!

I'm 23, I started watching in 1990. I think my cousins turned me on to it. They watched it, so I sat down and did the same. Hulk Hogan interested me. As did Warrior. Then I became a Bret Hart fan in 1991. It's always been about Bret since. \n\nWhen the stuff with Bret happened and the sport of wrestling changed, I was into it but I think it lost alot of it's magic. \n\nPlus, along with growing up, I became alot smarter to the business side of it. I still watch it and always will no matter how mad I get or unentertained. \n\nI'm mostly into the sport side of it. Work rate and what - not. I like a good character too but only when it's done through charasma instead of a dopey storyline. I enjoy Kurt Angle's work and I absolutely hate pretty much every single story line they give Kane. But being the character that he portrays, you expect stupidity out of it. \n\nI can't wait for ECW One Night Stand 2 and the return of ECW as a promotion. I was big into ECW.

Pro Wrestling is basically fake, "basically".\n\nOk, first off, yes wrestlers do get paid. The bigger star you are, more money you make. The bit stars like batista, kurt angle and undertaker probably make alot of money.\n\nWrestling is fake in the way that some of those moves would kill people regularly, and they do it in a certain way that looks more damaging that it normally would. Some of the moves hurt, but not as much as it looks. When wrestlers get on the top of the rope, and jump and land on a person, they do it in a special way so it doesn't hurt as much as usual, but none-the-less it hurts. When a wrestler hits another wrestler with a chair, it hurts, but the chair is made of very light aluminum, which basically you can put a dent in it by literally hitting it with your finger. It's all in execution.\n\nAs far as planning it, they basically just do whatever for the first part of the round, then yes some of the later moves are probably planned, depends, mostly wrestlers know who is going to win and who isn't, so they just wrestle knowing that.\n\nYa but I'm going to quit typing now, I think you get the point.

Wow the people who answered ur question so far must not have understood it. Yes I do find that ironic. When Angle first came into the WWE I actually thought I had heard his music before but I couldn't get my finger on it until I looked him up on line. Secondly, I was actually rather upset that he started using the Ankle Lock as a finisher for several reasons. I was a huge Shamrock fan while he was in WWE and thought he would win the title eventually, and two Kurt Angle was a wrestler and was using an MMA submission. It just didn't make sense. Finally, yes I remember the Patriot. I kinda liked him just because I was getting tired of the New Hart Foundation run and thought he was a breath of fresh air. Plus I liked his finisher (Top Rope Sholder Block in case you forgot)

I remember when the WWE was the WWF, and when DX first formed with six pack and Chyna. The WWE/WWF has always been, as you call it, "play fighting" and it has always been fake, and it always will be. thats why The WWF changed it to World Wrestling "Entertainment." because thats what it is.....entertainment...

I had to answer this one cos it's so funny & i've never heard a funnier rumour! None of what you say is true! Taker got beaten in the 1st blood match v Kennedy at S/Series last Sunday. Under the terms of his contract he can wrestle when he wishes. He's the unofficial S/Down spokesman by the way and helps behind the scenes also. I wouldn't expect him back til  the next ppv later this month - December to dismember. Probably in a tag-team with Kane.

Pro wrestling is fake. It is entertainment. It requires *athletic* ability, but so does Hollywood stunt work. Pro Wrestling is not a real sport (Collegiate, Amateur, or Olympic wrestling is a real sport.)

I love wrestling.I know it's mostly men but I still hope to be a wwe diva some day. People think I'm a tom boy just because I watch wrestling but I'm not.They should also give more credit to the diva's because they work almost just as hard.I don't think It should be amazing that females watch wrestling. I was instantly attracted to the sport.

okay folks,\n\nI'm going to give you my opinion on this.  Before I do, I don't want to be considered just some dumb WWE fan.  I have been in Stamford 6 or 7 times in the WWE building, having met with most of the head writers.  I have been called in there, and called back several times over on job interviews.\n\nTNA's attempt to gain new fans by trying to out-DX the new DX is a very bad idea.  For one, the reason that people enjoy TNA is because they are NOT WWE.  They like watching good matches, and while I personally hate the ring, I enjoy the talent.  \n\nI say, do your own thing.  Don't do what was done ten years ago because it worked back then.  I've been watching for 18 years, and while the Monday Night Wars were a great time, you have to realize that WWE now has BOTH major players in the wars, AND Paul Heyman.  Vince, Eric AND Paul are  certainly a force that I wouldn't want to mess with.\n\nTo accept a challenge in another company is just a poor move.  Clearly, they don't think that Vince would actually allow them onto a card that would a) give them the opportunity to put on a poor match to take away from a pay per view, and b) allow a wwe audience to see a TNA gimmick.  Putting out a challenge that they know won't be accepted is just an excuse to further a storyline that Vince has no reason to pay attention to.\n\nWWE is going to ignore this for a while.  TNA is in a position where they realize that they need WWE more than WWE needs them.  If WWE went to TNA, it would give TNA more viewers.  If WWE ignores them until they need to really fight back - which would be if impact moves to a monday, theyll eventually bring out the big guns.\n\nIt's too bad VKM accepted the challenge after they knew the match was already made.  As the owner of a company, would you let two former wrestlers who you didn't like enough to keep BACK into your ring when they have a storyline that is anti WWE?  \n\nThe fact is VKM is no more than the Roadie who sang "With my baby tonight" and a member of the "Smoking Guns".  Yeah, they were in DX at one point, but there is a reason they weren't kept.  They can stop their whining, and make a name for themselves on their own, or they can continue to play this bullying game for as long as they can until WWE actually decides to take them on. \n\nHonestly, I don't see why TNA blew the trigger on this so soon.  I would have thought if they were going to do something stupid like this (though I am interested), they would have waited until they were on on a Monday night.  \n\nI guess we'll have to wait and see what will happen.  Obviously, WWE isn't going to justify the challenge with a response, but I do look forward to the day that they decide to fight back, because when it all comes down to it, I do honestly believe WWE will win this war.

I think wrestling is the most real thing on TV.  More real than the news, boxing, baseball, hockey, NBA, UFC, and any tv show.\n\nNever any re-runs, the fans have to pay to be there as opposed to getting paid to be there, no stunt doubles, taped live so they can't say stop I messed up, let's do that take over again. And no computer animation.\n\nWhen sports reports made fun of Mike Tyson, Mike said, "Yeah, my paycheck isn't fake"\n\nSo next time some idiot makes fun of you for watching wrestling cause it's fake - tell him that why do you watch Friends, that's fake, they ain't really friends, and that ain't even a real apartment, it's  a fake set.

Umm.  No.\n\nWhy? \n\nBecause wrestling is fake.

I don't even wrestle, but I believe what you are saying. Unfortunately, it is the way of people today to wait to be discovered instead of making it happen.  Then they think the world owes them something because they never got that big break!  I'm too much of a chicken pooh to go out for the Diva searches, but I am not sitting around waiting to be made a star either!  If I could I would train to be a wrestler!  *takes a bite of apple*  That would be cool!

You know, I never thought of it that way, seriously.  Movies are fake too but you never see ppl putting that down like wrestling.  Thanks for a different way of looking at things.

i'd have heels win without cheating sometimes because it looks better that way. at least 1 special match for every television event. its sad how they barely have any more on ppvs and tv. how hard is it to do a last man standing match? Or I quit? its all planned out anyway so they wouldnt really be quitting or getting knocked out for realz
