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).

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!

It' 50% fake,and 50% real. What is going on(the drama) is fake, it's all part of the storylines. All though they make up on their own what they are going to say. When they wrestle, it's real. There is only a few times were it's fake, and that's when it has to do with a storyline. Such as the bleeding, and beating themselves up when it's not a match. Or even who is going to win a match. But the actual wrestling is real. They get hurt, even injured. They train very hard. They are the greatest, and thoughest athletes in the world.

Japan has the most authentic and realistic wrestling in the world..\n\nI am here in the United States and id have to say that wrestling here is pure entertainment\n\nmany japanese wrestlers have gone on to fight in mixed martial arts (pridefc, UFC, Rings) with great success.. some have accepted challenges in sumo matches and even fights with world champion boxers (ie Muhammad Ali once went to a match against a japanese wrestler)...

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!!

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.

You see this question asked over and over again and I can tell you that you are never going to get people who agree. Which is fine that is part of life.\nNow I am not going to say all of it is real. That is something I do not know for sure.\nBut I can tell you that my boyfriend is a professional wrestler and the injuries are very real. If it looks like it hurts chances are it does. That stuff isnt faked. He has had broken bones and worse.

Was it fake? No... It was scripted and the winner and moves were decided before the match (as happens in most wrestling matches), but it was for real, the blades, barbwired, the fire - it was all real, and both were hurt during the fight.\n\nAre they friends?\nYes they are, most wrestlers do get along with each other in real life, when are out of character. It's their character which are enemies. \nYou won't believe how many wrestlers which are arch enemies on screen are actually best friends in reality.\nMick Foley and Adam Copeland (Edge) are friends in real life, and Mick even wrote the intoduction to Adam's book.

Wrestling is more fake because wrestling has been around forever and always been fake.  Springer only turned fake a couple of years ago.

Pro wrestling is fun to watch.  Doesn't matter if it's real or not.

The moves are "staged". The punches are supposed to either miss or barely touch, but they can be misjudged and land hard. The slams are meant to have only gravity causing the person's descent and angled to cause a softer blow, but that also doesn't work correctly at times. While this type of wrestling is "fake", as with all stunts there is some physical risk involved and some punishment to the body.
