well DUH! thats common knowledge to any wrestling fan! thats why they call it "sports entertainment"..these people preach that wrestling is fake, well do they even know how the general public found out it was fake? Vince McMahon told them thats why! In fact, he coined the term "Sports Entertainment". We don't watch wrestling because we think its real but because we want to be entertained. And let me tell you...wrestlers go through a lot more than UFC fighters who fight every couple of months. Not that i don't like UFC. But a wrestlers life is much more difficult. These people seem to think that wrestlers are pansies but the truth is when they see any wrestler they don't have the guts to say that to their faces.

of course people knew about it an the 80's but those people were wrestling fans. McMahon told it to the general public, which gave him heat from the traditional wrestling promoters

I just say to **** with em. I don't even watch real sports.
Football's got so many timeouts, it's boring as ****. I don't care who has what down or how many downs equal whatever. Guys that watch NASCAR, saying wrestling is "fake". Yeah, those races are a blast to watch. The only thing remotely exciting is if someone has an accident. (I'm not sayng that's a good thing) Even if wrestling is scripted, at least guys like Rey Misterio and Kurt Angle will always deliver a good show. To each their own.

I dated a man that was a wrestler years ago(he still is a very well know wrestler) and I know most not all of it is fake.The same guys he would wrestle on Friday nights back then would go out to dinner on Saturday with us!

I'm not sick and tired of them calling it fake, I guess that is because I don't like it anymore. It can be fun to watch, if you do so with a grain of salt.
I don't that WWE wrestlers go through more than UFC fighters though, since the UFC people actually hit each other.

Hun, not to any wrestling fan. Yeah there is a name for these wrestling programmes which is 'sports entertainment' but i doubt the fact that MNR is sports entertainment, it doesnt entertain me at all. If i want to be entertained, id rather watch the news than MNR. It is getting quite annoying though. Have a nice day.

OMG I am SO sick of people saying it's fake. I've just stopped trying to justify "sports entertainment" to small-minded jerks. So what if they already know who's going to win the match? Saying wrestling's "fake" (rather than saying it's pre-determined) is like saying acting's fake.

I am! Does a wrestler shed blood when he is injured? Is that real? I say yes! Wrestling is real! The ones who say it is fake have some ******* issues that they need to deal with in their own lives!

everyone has known wrestling is fake since it came out back in the 80's. Didn't take McMahon saying it for people to realize it.
Look at the old 80's clips and you will even see the fake blood sacks, etc.
Wrestling improves your life and career how? It doesn't....so who cares.....its just a man's soap opera any how.

Get real. Of course we don't have the guts to say it to their faces. They're freakish monsters. Yes, they're actors and excellent athletes and they go through a lot and yada yada yada. Who in their right mind would want to pay for a show when you know all the screaming and yelling and even the match is fake. Sorry, I forgot Jerry Springer is rich too. No accounting for taste.

dude the blood is real and sometimes they really get injured and get bruised up in every match even though its fake it would still hurt to go through a table or ram into the steel stairs
