If wrestling 100% fake, then what about these legitmate injuries at the hands of fellow WWE Superstars?

Question

1) Val Venis had a broken shoulder and needed surgery after The Spirit Squad tried to hurt his injured arm further after the match last year.

2) Rey Mysterio had a broken knee which required surgery after his "I Quit" match with Chavo Guerrero.

3) MVP had a severly burnt back after his match with Kane in an Inferno Match at Armegeddon.

4) Edge had a torn pectoral muscle after Kane attacked during his Mardi Gras celebration about 2 weeks ago.



Were they really trying to severly injure them?
Was it SUPPOSED TO happen?

If it's so fake and scripted, then how do you explain those real injuries?

Answer 1

It certainly is fake & scripted, but most of the falls are real. Its like making a movie, the scenes are scripted but accidents happen.

1) Just cant remember about val venis.

2) Rey mysterio had needed knee surgery for many months & they needed a good story for his absence. So Chavo was scripted to supposedly injure his knee so that rey could get the surgery.
Also, in his return feud, he's gonna fight against Chavo again.

3) MVP was never injured. It was good make-up by the back stage people.
( Notice that all the inferno matches have ended outside the ring, so the person can easily run to safety.)

4) Edge injury was an accident. Too bad for him.

Undertaker had an injury too, so he had to drop his title. Kennedy kennedy was going to beat him, but he got injured too. So Edge was scripted to beat him. This way, injuries cause them to change the storylines as well.

Answer 2

Well first off, Mysterio was injured well before his "I Quit" match, and MVP was not really burned.

Everyone knows wrestling is scripted, but that doesn't mean some of the moves don't legitimately hurt, and even though they aren't trying to hurt each other, injuries do happen.

Answer 3

Ok, dude, first of all, it is scripted and you can tell, when they punch eachother, they are faking, they just are. BUT, they cannot fake jumping in the air and landing funny, injuries happen because they are doing that kind of thing. Like, for example, you are jumping on a trampoline, and about to do a trick you've been able to do for a year flawlessly, but, something goes wrong and you fall off the trampoline and break your leg. Things just happen.

Answer 4

All right, first of all numba 1 is correct. numba 2? well rey mysterio needed surgery on his nee anyway so the wwe thought that that would be a good way for him to leave. 2nd of all, the wwe is not completley fake, the concertos and punches are fake, but the power bombs and the chokeslams do hurt a bit.

Answer 5

It was probably a plan gone wrong! I do think, however, that some of these wrestler really don't like each other and maybe break the rules and end up hurting someone. Remember, they are making ALOT of money. I would take a few injuries for that much money too.

Answer 6

Nobody is purposely going to try to hurt their fellow wrestler but accidents happen. Doing high risk stuff that some do in the business is risky because one wrong step can leave you with a very painful injury. Because of this I respect them so much because they do this for us fans.

Answer 7

Dont forget the injury that Mark Henry gave to Batista. That one was real. And Chris Benoit injured Mark henry.

Answer 8

Its not 100% fake. maybe 90% lol. Injuries is the only way to make fans think its real. Im glad is fake though otherwise it wouldnt be so entertaining.

Answer 9

Accidents

Answer 10

No, they are not trying to hurt them (I think the Spirit Squad was on purpose) It is just a price of entertainment.
