I want to know whether wrestling is real.?

Question

We have held some debates concerning that some say it's just a sport and what we see are stunts and are not real. So i want ti know whether it is real.

Answer 1

Depends on which wrestling you watch. The sport of wrestling is real, which is why it is a sport in the olympics, wrestling like in WWE or TNA is fake, the moves are coreographed and the storylines are made up, its' just entertainment, hence the E in WWE. Yet the physicallity of the wrestlers and their moves is real, the competition and storylines are just made up. If you want real wrestling, watch college or olympic wrestling.

Answer 2

Hi, if you are talking about ROH wrestling, yes it's real. But if you are talking about the WWE or TNA wrestling, then it's not real. The reasons being is because it is scripted. Everything is put on paper and the wrestlers do have to train very well and time things very well and perform it all inside the ring. ROH wrestling is real and many WWE wrestlers and TNA wrestlers have participated in that. It gives you a lot of practice and you can notice the difference between ROH and he WWE and TNA. The WWE and TNA has got the kind of wrestling you will know that's fake since everything seems so biased. It's basically like pay back between the wrestlers all the time. The matches mostly end in finishing moves, why? Because it's fake, it's not real. Some wrestling moves are really fake except for the grapples. The strikes are mostly fake because they sometimes perform a strike and then just stomp with their feet on the ring. That's to bring off this effect so that's how you can notice that that is real or not real.

Have a nice day!

Answer 3

Hey folks,

I used to watch Wrestling a lot, but haven't really watched it for 3 and a half years, although I still read about it in British publication Powerslam Wrestling.

In wrestling in general, all the moves are staged, and the winner of a match is predetermined. The only time this may change is if someone gets injured (for real) either before or during a match.

When someone takes a scoop slam, the reason you hear a loud bang when the wrestler hits the mat is because WWE have microphones under the ring, to add effects to the moves.

A lot of aerial moves do look like they would hurt, but these guys are all professionally trained (although looking at some of them, you wouldn't think it), and know how to do various moves (for example, a moonsault) without hurting the other guy, but to make it come across on TV as though it really hurt the wrestler taking the move.

Chair shots, according to Powerslam (a British insider mag that I read) are real. As with moves, although the wrestlers do try to control them, they also try to make them look as real as possible. When someone bleeds backstage, that is staged. They wouldn't have someone juice for real backstage. WWE would rather do it in the ring, for added effect. I would think the more hardcore promotions (CZW, old ECW) would have people bleed fo real.

When someone bleeds from the mouth inside the ring, that is staged. The wrestlers often have capsules filled with red food colouring in their mouths, and at the specified time, they bite into them, therefore creating the effect that they are bleeding from an internal would. Again, I'm guessing that CZW do this for real (as, presumably, would the old ECW).

Someone bleeding from the head, in most cases, is very real. Those of you who have seen Wrestlemania 13 will remember Austin being opened up badly. When Bret had him in the Sharpshooter, you can actually see the blood pouring out of the wound, and dripping off his face.

Pro Wrestling is Sports entertainment, although matches differ in promotions. For example, Japanese Puroresu, ROH and occasionally TNA (Samoa Joe) matches look a lot stiffer (more real) than WWE, and in Japan, they actually chop each other for real.

In WWE, the wrestler's there have the same paymaster (Vincent K. McMahon). A lot of them are best friends with each other, and in almost all circumstances, respect each other for being in a profession where injuries are commonplace. Therefore, by deliberately injuring each other would only be detrimental to the WWE product, and perhaps even the wretler's paychecks.

Answer 4

I use to think it wasn't real also. Until I had watched a pay-per-view on TV and they said that Triple H,(a Wrestler) had hurt his leg. They rushed him to the hospital. I live in Alabama and I was at the Birmingham hospital and I seen Triple H. I now have a lot of respect for these guys. Yes they are stunts that are suppose to impress us and you know they do a great job, but sometimes things do go wrong. These ladies and guys that go out and do this every week have got to train all the time but you can't train for what you don't know might happen. I hope you might see it a little different now. Have a great day.

Answer 5

World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (WWE) is a publicly traded, privately controlled integrated media (focusing in television, internet, and live events), sports, and entertainment company dealing primarily in the professional wrestling industry, with major revenue sources also coming from movies, music, product licensing, and direct product sales.

Eventually it depends on which kind of wrestling you watch. WWF
are mainly planned. If you want to bring a man down, no need to use so many funny patterns (common sense).

Answer 6

The punches are real but they are delivered in such a way so as to cause minimum injury.It is not what it seems.
Actually it is not a sport at all.Infact it is a cross between a soap opera and a fight.
All the matches are fixed and the results are fixed.
There is a lot of drama which is used to spice up the whole thing.

Answer 7

the storlines are fake and they plan everymove they make. In a real fight like that if you got the upperhand you pretty much just won. SOME of the moves are real but they fall in ways so they dont get hurt to badly. Like when HHH hurt his knee it was Ortons fult because he was suposed to wrap his leg round HHH. And plus how do you learn how to fall of a 20 ft ladder on to a table. and those who are gonna say the tables are fake ur wrong i was at a match that was kane and umaga and the table was right in front of me naturally i was curious to see it the tables were real i knocked on it and it was real and umaga later got smashrf through that table after the match

Answer 8

it is a combination of sport and script ,they will tell you that is is scripted in some of the biographies. also, that you definatly need to know what you are doing.You need to be in good physical condition and there is no room for error (look at owen hart).the injuries can be very real look at cactus jacks biography and there are pictures of stitching ,breaks and more.

Answer 9

No, it is just an entertaintment in my point of view because they
only say that it is world wrestling entertaintment ( wwe ).

Answer 10

In wrestling WWE we commonly watch the fight is real but the result is predetermined ;)
