All of them are American but my favorite is Baseball. Anyone can learn the rules and play. With the others it is too expensive for most to participate.

Undertaker is selling a beating from the Great Kalhi and is still on Smackdown.\nThe fake Kane on Raw is Freakin Deacon from OVW. THe storyline seems to be that he is playing Kane back in the days when Kane still wore a mask

Yes Paul Levesque aka Triple H married Stephanie McMahon, and, to the first guy (and anymore who says it), it doesn't matter that WWE is fake.  That's almost every non-fan's reason for not watching.  But almost every show on TV is "not real."  It's stupid to base your whole reason for not watching wrestling on just because it's fake and scripted.  Then, you shouldn't watch The OC, Lost, 24, Desperate Housewives, etc. because they are all made up with pre-determined storylines.

No. I went through wrestling school too.  It should not be. I don't let my kids watch it. These days...what are they going to watch...Smackdown or RAW?  When Vince McMahon has a playboy playmate on his lap and he is stroking her cleavage....uh that alone would say no for me.  Then, how do I expain that crashing down on an opponet on a table is fake.  The violence is too much for a young kid.

fake is completely the wrong word! i mean YES it is staged by the writing crew , eg. the outcome of the matches , backstage goings on! but who the hell cares? the people who say it is"fake" are the overweight  , loners who have never watched a match in there lives! they have never taken the time to sit and watch WWE, and see the passion and excitement and injuries that the superstars generate!just like Rey mysterio said "you try getting slammed in a match by a guy twice the size of you , then getting up and this time get punched or kicked then slammed once more!" these idiots are the people who watch wrestling once , take no notice of the superstars warnings then go out and break the neck of their mate , then have the audacity to blame WWE and other wrestling promotions. they say it to me all the time in school, just to get a response but i just say "its sports entertainment" and some of them say "yeah, but its still fake!" i don't know were they get it from because wwe have never pretended its anything more than sports entertainment! I'm so glad that there is someone who feels the same as me! \ni hope this helps!\n\nI love WWE, master of SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT!

Um... High school wrestling , I have two brothers in High School wrestling and they've taught me everything there is to know about wrestling, I LOVE IT! anyway, wwf is totaly fake and technically it's not really wrestling there are so many illegal moves in there, and I've yet to c an actual wrestling move in there, of coarse I don't watch it I stopped after one show because in my OPINION it was the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

There's nothing special about TNA or WWE.It's just sports entertainment.Vince admitted that he is in the ENTERTAINMENT business and not in the rasslin business.There are so many retards that think TNA is REAL wrestling.NEWS FLASH!!!!TNA is FAKE too!!!!Samoa Joe is in bad shape,he has too much flab and TNA tries to make him look like a good athlete.

The wrestling now is so fake, legendary wrestlers are the best. Curt Henning, Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, The Ultimate Warrior, Freddie Blassie, Roddy Piper, and Andre the Giant are the best!

Yes, it's fake, in the sense that it's coreographed and the outcomes are predetermined, but that doesn't mean it's not difficult. Those wrestlers are in peak physical condition and train everyday to maintain themselves and put on a show for so many fans each night. The also know exactly how to perform a manuever without hurting their opponent and still make it look real, which takes a lot of skill. Being slammed onto those mats is probably pretty painful nonetheless.

No, its not really Jeff Hardy.

Is wrestling fake? No. Is wrestling predetermined? Yes. Wrestlers are actors.  But this doesn't mean that they aren't talented athletes. Much of what they do DOES hurt. Look at the match between Foley and Edge at Wrestlemania. I don't care who you are. Thumbtacks up the back hurt like hell. \n\nAlso, sometimes wrestlers accidentally hurt themselves or their opponents. At Summerslam 1997, Owen Hart gave Stone Cold a piledriver but executed the move wrong resulting in an injury that still to this day affects Austin. There are many, many other instances out there but that's the only one that comes to mind.\n\nAs for storylines, most of the time it is acting. But once in a while, a feud will start because of real life tension between wrestlers. Take the Hardy/Edge feud a while back. In real life, Lita was dating Matt Hardy for 6 years, but cheated on him with Edge. The story broke out on the net and Vince decided he could make money out of it and Matt, Edge, and Lita agreed to the storyline.

Most of the striking is real, save for the "punches" and some especially nasty kicks.  Look at guys like KENTA or Low Ki (Senshi in TNA) from Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan or Roderick Strong from ROH here in the states to see some real kicks and chops respectively, but by and large, it was said well earlier.  It is an extremely physical athletic endeavor (you're kidding yourself if you try to say they aren't athletes) that has pre-scripted outcomes and does involve some strong choreography, but has a high probability of injury without proper training and preparation.

Real Entertainment Yes.  Wrestling is a form of sports entertainment. It is the choice of the professional entertainer as to whether or not they use tacks, sledge hammers, etc. However, sometimes, they really do get hurt. \n\nProfessional wrestlers train really hard to perform and not get hurt. They also train very hard to make it appear as real as possible.\n\nBottom line, it's entertainment.

You are right yes it is Fake....  Video Awesome video.... great job

you do know it's fake, right?  the answer to all of them is it depends on who runs the company they wrestle for and who he or she wants to win.  PPV WRESTLING IS A JOKE TO ANYONE WHO HAS EVER ACTUALLY WRESTLED SUCH AS KURT ANGLE, CAEL SANDERSON, DAN GABLE and countless other "REAL" wrestlers.  Problem is after the olympics and college or coaching there is no money in it.

It's all scripted, however, sometimes things do go wrong.  Some of the injuries are real, but the majority are fake.  I mean, you can't fake getting jumped on!  Some of those moves do hurt, but the athletes/actors do a damn good job of making us think it hurts when it's a missed punch or what not!\n\nAnd the blood is sometimes theatrical, sometimes real.  Ric Flair mentioned it in "To Be the Man" - they'd cut a small gash themselves, but the face (and hands for that matter) tends to bleed quite a bit...thus a lot of effect with minimal damage.\n\nI've noticed a lot of people just stating that WWF is now WWE - but do you know why?  Because they were sued by the World Wildlife Fund for the initals, so they switched to World Wrestling Entertainment instead of Federation.  It's a Trivial Pursuit question!

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.)
