From experience I can tell you that most of it is real. If it looks like it hurts trust me it really does.\nOf course some things are faked but 99.8% of them are not.

It was legitimate. WWE.com posted backstage footage of the doctor giving Rey an examination and determined that he hurt his neck.

This is a part of WWE storyline. Do U know WWE is scripted ? In other words its fake. So why U R happy ? The championship belts exchanges from one hand to another hand after few months. The new champions will also lose against any another tag team. Therefore tell me how U can happy ?

It's called World Wrestling ENTERTAINMENT.  We know it's fake.  Too bad you don't know you're an idiot for being so damn stupid and narrow minded!!

Yes!. May Be. the fact is that the wrestling organizations can do any thing to promote their shows.

It is all a storyline by Vince Russo.  Don't be surprised if TNA also redoes another WWEstoryline by having a fake HHH and HBK like WWE did with the fake Razor Ramon and Diesel.

interesting analogy.....and probably closer to the truth than most would like to think about.  Since I think pro wrestling is staged......

Hey why does everyone jump all over Vincent K McMahon everytime TNA is looking for some cheap publicity?\n\nSo they can't cut the mustard,maybe they need to incorporate all 3 brands cos WWE & ECW will surely rule,then again you have to have somewhere for the washed up hacks to wrestle I suppose...ie TNA.....

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.

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.

All of the answers are correct.  The physical contact are all real, but there's a predetermined winner.  In other words, scripted.  I myself is a WWE fan, but I watch for the sake of entertainment.  That's it.  \n\nYou might wanna read the infamous Montreal Screwjob, where WWE chairman Vince McMahon literally changed the outcome of the match between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels in what would've been the biggest controversy in pro-wrestling.  This for sure that all results are predetermined and thus having a storyline for each character.  It just happened that McMahon changed the predicted outcome that led to an almost boycott of Monday Night RAW by some superstars the day after.

WWE, in fact all sports entertainment is staged, just like most television programmes.  WWE is an action packed Soap Opera for men.  Wrestlers are a combination of actors, sportsmen, body builders and stuntsmen.\n\nWhat one must remember is that if what they were doing was real it would be illegal is proffesional wrestling is so violent.  What makes wretling enjoyable to watch is the fact that the wrestlers do their best to make it appear incredibly dangerous.  The truth is while there is some risk of serious injury involved everybody involved is trained to fall properly and how to carry out moves which appear to be high impact when they are not.\n\nNeedless to say sometimes wrestlers can get things wrong which is again part of the appeal.  Brock Lesnar, Chris Benoit, HHH and Shawn Michaels have all picked up very serious injuries at some stage in their career and Owen Hart has actually died as a result of a WWE stunt.

Unfortunately No ... they are all scripted except for maybe the "Dark Matches" which are not aired on T.V. since wwf became wwe it became more scripted ...

not in real but in WWE yes, because this wrestling thing is 'fake' (bussines) and if undertaker leaves, less people will watch it, hence; no money.

Hey, do you know why nobody BETS on Pro Wrestling?  \n\nCause, it's fixed.   \n\nWatch the show, and be entertained.  It's not a real sport, it's just FUN.  \n\nAndre the Giant was the REAL DEAL.  On a recent program that reviewed his life, they pretty much said that he lost the big fight against the Hulkster, "for the good of the Sport".   He knew that his time was up.
