is wrestling real in any way?

Answer 1

It's real in the sense that it's very dangerous, and even the trained professionals often get hurt.

Answer 2

As other people pointed out, college / high school / olympic wrsetling is real.

The results of proffesional wrestling is scripted. The moves are designed to be cool. They are require in the sense that they involve real strength and athletic prowess. They are not real in the sense that both parties often know what is coming and a party will often set himself up so that his opponent will be able to pull off a cool move. It gets really pathetic at times, like when they are against the ropes and pretend to punch one another, and are obviously missing, but acting like they hit each other, etc.

Short answer, no. It's all scripted, but if you enjoy it, knock yourself out.

Answer 3

Professional wrestling is generally any form of performance art in which pro-wrestlers receive payment for participating. Historically, European and North American professional wrestling has involved matches where the outcome was predetermined, by the referee telling the contestants who wins. The term professional wrestling or pro-wrestling has evolved to refer almost exclusively to predetermined matches, also referred to as "works". Modern professional wrestling usually features striking and other techniques, which are modelled after diverse sets of global wrestling and pugilistic styles.Modern professional wrestling is commonly associated within a company often referred to as a fed, where the participants create an entertaining show simulating a dueling match. The level of realism can vary from sports entertainment (the American World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) promotion) to stiff style (the Japanese strong style as exemplified by Antonio Inoki) to spotfests. In Mexico the dominant style is the stylized, theatrical Lucha libre.

The question of whether professional wrestling is a sport comparable to its freestyle wrestling, Greco-Roman, collegiate wrestling counterparts can seem irrelevant maybe even impossible to compare as the key difference between both concepts is that professional wrestling's main focus is maintaining its audience and profiting as a business rather than as a form of athletic competition.

As opposed to a common sporting event, a professional wrestler's athletic prowess and skills are done more to prevent injury than to inflict it. In many cases, the victim of an attack in a professional wrestling environment is required to do more athletically than the one performing an attack on him. If the wrestler absorbing the attack is less skilled or less athletic, he/she may injure his/her partner or even himself. At the very worst, a wrongly received professional wrestling move has more chance of causing a career ending injury than most mainstream sport.
