is wwe fun to watch or to fake?

I think if you do your best to ignore the fakeness of it all and just enjoy the story lines and comedy in it, then it can be very fun to watch.  \n\nIf you have never watched it before, you will need to watch for a few weeks in a row to get caught up and involved in the story lines.  So you have to really give it a chance.

It is scripted, not fake. There is a difference. Experienced wrestlers work as much as six nights a week and want to continue to earn a living at what they do, so they are careful, and punches are pulled. Contrary to some beliefs, the matches are not choreographed. At least not like you would  commonly define choreography. The wrestlers are not told how the match will go until they get to the arena. Sometimes they are not given this info till a few minutes before they go in the ring. The person who "runs" the program gives the wrestlers the pre-determined ending of the match, and the time allotted for the match. It is then up to the wrestlers to fill in the gaps. 99% of the holds and throws are real, and can be used to bring down an opponent. Every now and then there will be some ludicrous "magic" move that is total fantasy. The matches are like a soap opera. The good guys (called baby faces) represent the struggle of the common man against the evil of the world. This evil is represented by the bad guys (called heels) The good guy constantly seeks justice from the representatives of law and order (the referees) When this justice is obviously never forthcoming, the good guy takes justice in his own hands and fights fire with fire. He uses the bad guy's tactics against him and cheats to defeat him. EVERY ONE can identify with this in real life. Even when the good guy loses by getting caught, the fans feel justice has finally been served! So, there you have it. Scripted!.....By the way, the wrestlers refer to the fans as marks: the unsuspecting victims of a fraud. They have their own pig-latin style language that is used when discussing the secrets of the profession when they think a mark may be in hearing range.

Why do men watch wrestling?  For the same reason, it's entertaining.

Would you please stop parroting the same old tired "it's fake" cliche? We get it, ok? People who watch wrestling realize the outcomes are predetermined; they watch it because it is pure escapist fun, a sort of soap opera that both males and females can get into. I am sure there are a few slack-jawed yokels out there who think it's all real, but 99.99999 % of wrestling fans know it isn't. It's not a sport; it's called sports ENTERTAINMENT. I can tell you what's NOT fake...the blood, the occasional serious injury, and the athletic ability of the performers.

Yes and no.  Yes, because most of their skits now are totally lame compared to 1997-1998.  DX can still make me laugh, but not ROFLMAO like in the past.  (I encourage any DX fan out there to watch the official DX home video.  Get the VHS if you can, not the lame-ass censored DVD that WWE re-released.)\n\nNo, because they can still do their thing in the ring, and they are still so over with the fans.  WWE couldn't find anyone right now (even John Cena) that gets the kind of face reaction DX gets.

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!

i think most Wrestling are fake!!but occasionally are true fight!!how i distinguish is to whether they hav blood or not!however,that can be fake as well due to the fact that they can use fake blood instead...!!

They are real, you can tell because, if you watch them (Which if you are a guy I don't know why wouldn't you because they are right there just waiting to be stared at, bouncing up and down :). I am sorry, what was I talking about again?) they bounce up and down (more than fake ones can do) everytime she does her entrance in which she skips to the ring. By the way, her entrance is tied with Candice's and behind Melina's for being the best entrance ever! I hope that answers your question.

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.

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!

Yo I know its fake some of it but it is still cool. That what the "E" stands for in wwe "entertainment".

Its like a reality show, they just want to watch other people get beat up even though they know its fake.\n\nI think wresting is fake, but when I go watch one in the audience, you cant help but interact with the wrestlers. It has to do with entertainment and just having a good time.\n\nIt might be fake, but its still fun as heck =)
