there is a script they go by the know in advance who is going to win. but the moves they make are real moves they do get hurt and they do break bones. There was a show a few years  back  were they showed how they trained i believe it was called really tough

I am with you buddy I love wrestling also and have a gut on myself and it makes me mad too that they do not have the shirts.People have to consider that not only little scrawny people watch wrestling.You ever see the audience there are more bigger people than there are smaller people.But Vince and every other wrestling company wants to keep a certain ''look'' going on like if someone is wearing a shirt that is well ''sexy''in some peoples eyes that do not watch wrestling they figure hey I will check it out and hopefully by seeing the wrestlers will make them want to get more in shape.It is all about image buddy but I know where you are coming from.

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.)

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.

Listen carefully... all of you...\nWrestling is not FAKE... it IS, however, PHONEY... there is a HUGE difference.\nWhen you see someone being bodyslammed off the top rope, there is nothing fake about it, and there is nothing fake about the injuries that occur.\nYes, it is scripted, and the wrestlers know what is supposed to happen before ahnd... however, not all goes as planned.\nExample...\nThe wrestler I used to manage (indie fed) knew he was going to take the US title from his arch nemesis... however, in the middle of the match, he went for the frog splash off the top rope and when he landed, he injured his knee. He got up and finished the match and won the title, as the storyline required... for the next 4 days, he couldn't walk because his knee was swollen to the point he was unable to put any weight on it. \nStone Cold, Batista, JBL, Mick Foley, Brock Lesner, Shane-o Mac, Brett Hart, Sabu, Magnum TA (career Ending), and too many others can attest to the fact that the injuries are real; they can attest to the fact that taking a powerbomb hurts; they can tell you that a metal chair to the head is not a move that you "fake".\nIt has always been such, and it will always be such.

Of course they're acting...\n\nBut to act something like that you need to be a great athlete!!\n\nSo... altough they're not fighting, all the excersise they do is amazing.

The only wrestler I enjoy watching are the high-flyers or guys who are known for being "technical" wrestlers.  Big fat slobs who can take a chair to the face and who's finishing move is a pathetic choke-hold are a joke.

When the blood comes down from thier foreheads then yes... it is real..  but dont believe that it came from a chairshot or being hit by the belt... I would say only like 5% of those shots actually make the wrestlers bleed.  No if you look closely on some of these matches  they keep a really small razor blade either in their taped up wrists,or the referee hands it to them (  notice when ever a chair shot happens, the cameras focus in on the guy who gave the blow, giving him a close up on his face, this gives the other guy enough time  to cut himself with the blade and get rid of it.) A great example of this was the Hell in the cell match with DX Vs Mr McMahon, Shane McMahon and the Big Show.  If you check out the DVD.. look at the part where Shane is about to do the "catapult" manuver to HHH.  The camera angle was good enough to show HHH reaching up to his forehead with a tiny razor blade and run it across his skull. HHH was bleeding bad from that self inflicted cut that was supposed to be cause by his head hitting the cage.  \n\nAnother sure sign is when they are thrown over the top and they land on the floor... or when they are run head first into the steel ring pole or whatever.. they always fall back and their head sometimes goes under the drape of the ring , away from the publics eyes and the camera.  They are opening themselves up under there. or getting something for later.\n\nSomething for later? Yep..  ever seen guys spit up blood?  and they have "internal injuries"  from a wicked chair shot to the gut or this guys head was stuck inside of a folding chair and the villian comes stomping on the chair causing massive injuries?!  Well they just popped a hollywood blood pill, mixed with spit it looks like blood coming up .  That is fake.  \n\nStill.. I love the show.  sometimes...  you gotta sit back and think...  wow...  I think he messed up.. he wasnt supposed to bleed like that.  I think some real cuts and injuries are Mick Foley's ear being ripped off against Vader.  Yea.. you cant really fake that.  another Foley match.. his I quit match against Ric Flair.  Ric covered his right hand with barbed wire and chopped Mic in the chest...  not much blood.. but the ending cuts on his chest were not pretty at all.  very jagged and nasty.  \n\nOne of the bloodiest matches i seen is with Tommy Dreamer. I believe it was "One Night Stand"  somehow he got a cheese grater scraped across his forehead. Yes, A CHEESEGRATER! that opened him up like a water balloon.  that was nasty!\n\nthe blood is real... most times.

WWE is not real, but some WWF is real. \nWWE seems very real though- I thought it was real, until my brother told me that people get paid to watch (and cheer) in this wrestling stuff.. haha

I agree with you totally with tthat. He does have good wrestling moves. But, I guess those are the only two  moves I have seen him work with.I could be wrong. Have a great day.

Well basicaly it's fake the matches are arranged some of the moves and stuff but some things you cannot fake,for example when rey lost to chavo and went trough a knee surgery that was real friend,and the bloodshead is real,if the mathces are fake or real it depends on the wrestlers to because after all they are fighting,so a litle bit of both i think it makes a good show too and wrestling became very popular in the last years,well some say it is not fake because accidents happen and you can't wrestle after that for months but some say it is fake because for some moves both wrestlers have too cooperate,so take a lookt at raw,smackdown or any other and decide for your self!

It's fake.  But sooooo much fun to watch.  and r.d. are you talking about Sid Vicious and his leg snapping during a match?  That was sooo gross to see, and yet strangely exciting!

Thank you Awesome. Thank you so much. I must be kissing your ass right now but seriously, thank you. I agree with you and can't agree with you more. Seriously. The WWE, Worst Wrestling Ever is sinking low. Let me see.. I feel as if i am suffering from dejavu when watching the WWE. Everything looks the same.. It looks like it has been the same thing that has happened just a decade ago. It is really pathetic and predictable. At the end you will always notice that John Cena will win. Every match looks so scripted, mostly because it is! But John Cena is very predictable.. You can actually imagine what moves he is doing right now and you will get it right. The WWE has got a lot of money. Just a shame that Vince McMahon isn't using it properly. He should get rid of the 'creative team' who has lost a lot of creativity in the past few years. The 90s was the best time for the WWE in my opinion. Everything was okay. But now the WWE just consists of actors.. Nothing more than actors that just train. And than we got DX, like we need them. Are they really entertaining most of us wrestling fans? No. They aren't. They are also not doing any good with their acting skills. They do freshman and juvenile pranks that you would expect seniors at your school to do. Not someone who is old enough to be your dad! It's a shame that the WWE does this to all of us. It sucks and i don't watch it anymore.. Well i rarely watch it. I watch TNA. Much better. They are below WWE but they are still better. They are using their money wisely and they got good wrestlers. \n\nHave a nice day and keep the dream alive!

i think wrestling sometimes because its all built on acting not real fight

Well... sumo is real, also Judo, GrecoRoman, School and every SPORT that has something to do with wrestling, BUT...\n\nI have to mention that TV wrestling demands a great physical condition, anyone who had wrestled for 3 minutes can tell, that is exhausting... so, I think every wrestler (show or sport) is a real athlete.\n\nDav.

wwe is fake. I, however, am a highschool wrestler. I just got home from an all day tournament, in fact. And let me tell you, High school wrestling is as real as it gets. It is the hardest six minutes of any sport. I had to have my coach open my fingers cause i used my arms so much and my hands wouldnt open. So "pro" wrestling is fake and a waste of time, where olimpic and high school wrestling is unimaginably difficult and real.

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.
