wrestling is scripted, choreographed. wrestlers do get hurt. the main purpose of wrestling is not to get hurt. 90% of wrestling is real. 75% of the moves you see on television are real (especially the submissions).

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!

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.)

you do know that wresting is fake, right?

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!

Of course it is fake.  Sane people would never go out and do that to their bodies unless they had some control over it.  They do get hurt and they do put their bodies through the ringer but they are all choreographed and they know who will win before they step out to see the crowd cheering them on.  \nI like it because it is better than a soap opera.  It's like Survivor meets Real World meets tough Enough meets General Hospital... all to good music with great drama, men and women in revealing costumes showing off their goodies and beyond all that... it's a couple hours away from every day stress that makes me laugh, scream at the TV and basically forget my problems as i watch them battle out out for my viewing pleasure.

it was a girl who did like a video diary on youtube.com. It looks really real, and very well done. Somehow, it came out that it was made up. It is true it is fake. Just like a tv show. She was on MTV not too long ago after being found out. It was a whole staged production, but very convincing!

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.

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.

It's fake in the sense that these guys are really beating each other up. It's real in the sense that their bodies take a beating, much like stuntmen or women. Most of the injuries are real. Some are self-inflicted, like cuts to the head.\n\nIf you want real wrestling, you have to go to the college or high school ranks. Real fighting can be found in UFC. (or in Iraq)

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.

You mean it's not real?\nNOOOOOOOO!\nAnd all this time I thought it was normal to walk twice around the ring and then fall forward, after being hit in the face with a chair/ladder/table/hammer/619/ all of the aforementioned.\n;-)\n\nWrestling is as real as the Easter Bunny.\nNow If you will excuse me, I've got to dip some eggs into chocolate before delivering them.

Im sorry, the world heavyweight champion in wwe changes by the day. Oh did i forget to mention? WWE is pure acting. The wrestling moves are fake. The punches are fake. The blood is fake. Even the ring is modified to soften landings. Victors of any match are predetermined.
