is professional wrestling real!?

Question

is it?

Answer 1

as real as the tooth fairy

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

I can't believe anyone would actually ask this question. I thought Kayfabe was dead even for little kids. Apparently not. Well to answer your question and not insult you because thats not right, no professional wrestling is not real. The outcomes are scripted or at the very least, the booker chooses who will win the matches. Sometimes the wrestlers decide the sequence of events in the ring,(Usually the veteran or established worker has this privlege.) and sometimes it is decided pre-match by the booker what they will do. Occasionally though(especially in the early days of wrestling) a match could turn into a legitimate contest (known as a shoot) where competitiors try to force their will over the other. There are certain workers who had a reputation in the business for turning matches into a shoots. In the earlier days when wrestling was composed of territories that often joined forces for shows companies used to have their champions as guys who could carry themselves in a shoot incase the other booker or worker attempted to turn the match into a shoot to make the other company look weak. They also employed wrestlers who could serve as enforcers who could legitimately beat their own wrestlers if needed to keep them in line or punish them for something. In todays business tempers can sometimes flare, and matches will sometimes deteriorate into a quasi shoot, but in general this doesn't happen as much as it did in the past.

An example of a shoot match in the modern era was when Hardcore Holly legitimately beat up Rene Dupre at ringside as punishment for borrowing Holly's rental car and getting a ticket.

Answer 4

Yes, professional wrestling is real.

Answer 5

Some of the injuries are real(some are faked).. but it is all a show. They will use personal situations into the act, but majority of it is scripted. They already know who is going to win the match when they walk out to that ring. Pure entertainment!

Answer 6

The wrestling part (or the physical part of it) is real, but all the drama and rivalry and stuff are not.

The wrestlers are trained to go certain ways and fall down certain ways so they don't get hurt.

Answer 7

yes pro wrestling is REAL, why do you think that some of the wrestlers are seriously injured or even killed in the case of the late owen hart.what, you people think his reported death was "faked" ?

Answer 8

no its not real all of them would prolly die if they beat each other like they do, only sometimes does it get so heated do they actually try to hurt each other but like some1 said they r trained to wrestle in a way they dont get hurt or as hurt i should say

Answer 9

Yea. And I'm going to win a million on the lottery.

Answer 10

Don't you think that 300 pound muscular men would easily break each other's bones if it were real?

Answer 11

No, it is a story with lines and scripts and all, more like a soap opera these days.
