The key part to your question is identifying what it is that you refer to when you say "this".
WWE (formerly known as WWF) stands for World Wrestling Entertainment. That means, they are here to entertain. They follow a scripted route. Every now and then wrestlers rise and fall in their popularity, turning from heel (a villain-like person) to face (a hero like person) or vice versa. This is all done to ensure people's interests are kept alive. Like I said, it is all scripted - just like any of our saas-bahu serials. So to answer your question, "this" is unreal in so far as the lives wrestlers live in front of us, the on-camera lives.
However, the fights are real. Yes, they do follow their own rehearsed style of fighting but they are real nonetheless. These rehearsed styles are meant to minimise any damage. They usually don't punch, kick blatantly, or stomp and those are the only exceptions that jump to my mind. While doing any of these acts (kicking, punching, stomping) the "beater" makes an additional sound so as to make it seem real. Every other piece of beating is real.
About a decade ago (perhaps longer) when one of their troups was in India (Chandigarh if I remember it correctly) there was an article in a prominent daily newspaper which featured an interview with such a wrestler. That gentleman confessed that the fights are real, so much so that the day following a wrestling bout their bodies would swell up. Also, these guys virtually live on painkillers because of all the pain and damage to their body (that's what I make of the death of Eddie, apparently he was addicted to some painkiller). It shouldn't be a surprise, therefore, they are paid in millions when popular. After all, they are putting their bodies on the line.
I hope the "this" has been addressed somewhere above.

It is all staged. The fights are planned out, the enemies and rivalries, can be real, because the guys do get into it. The gfs. not real (most of the time). Edge and Lita for example, yea they hump around on the camera but Lita is a married woman.
Now there are real aspects. The blood, real, if you look at some of the greats, Ric Flair, HHH, and HBK, and look closely at their foreheads you will see a MASS AMOUNT of thin scars. They carry razor blades in their wrist bands to cut themselves to make blood after a devastating hit. OR if they arent wearing them, notice next time that there is a hit, they go down and cover up, then the ref will come over and slide this hand under the arm of the downed wrestler, he slips them something to cut themselves with.
But the guys do get hurt, sometimes things dont go right, someone gets carried away, or there is just an accident.
Take for example Mercury of MNM, at the last paper view he accidently got hit with the leg of the ladder when Jeff Hardy Jumped on the other end off the top rope. The ladder broke Mercury's nose in 3 places, required 4 stiches inside and 14 outside. Also INSTANTLY his eye was swollen shut due to damage to the socket. Things are real but they are just entertaining people, so it is mainly fake!

My mom and I used to watch it when I was younger and both of us thought they were real and would get carried away by the morbid scenes. But it's really just fake. Wrestlings are fake with good actors. Some scenes might be real like the wounds and all but it's primarily fake.

It's not called WWF anymore, but WWE-- E referring to entertainment. It's totally fake with the storylines and plots sometimes it can get annoying.

Its all fake. you see it and you can come to know that they arent hitting with full might. but they hit each other for real. but they get loads of training before they are admitted to wwe. the matches are all fixed. its sort of a gamble the player who gets the maximum vote that he will win it actually ends up losing it thereby the wwe gets the profit. i hope you have got it.
