Pro-wrestling is indeed a sport. In order to be a pro-wrestler it does take some athletic ability and a lot of time devoted to training. Not everybody can do it, both for physical or mental/stress reasons. Some of these guys are really over-worked to the death and it does take it's toll on themselves and their family. Always working out, performing, traveling on the road, interviews.. it all adds up and I do feel for these guys.
While there has been some dishonorable incidents in pro-wrestling the whole industry is not at fault. Some of those pro-wrestlers are really good men and women both in and out of the ring.
It's a shame today that we have many pro-athletes dropping dead under the age of 40 in almost every sport; wrestling, football, basketball, baseball... something is definitely going on.

i agree that very few people have what it takes to handle pro wrestlings demanding lifestyle of training, travelling, and taking a beating. plus the overall athletic ability and strenght it demands. however, when you have a sport where the winner is pre-determined by a writer as opposed to direct competition either one on one or team vs team you will always have people who say it is not a sport.

It is not a sport because pro-wrestling is just a show that is planned out ahead of time. They don't get a chance to win on their own. It's all decided in advance.

It's not a sport. There's nothing sporting about an entertainment vehicle that is scripted. This does not mean the participants cannot be excellent athletes. It does not mean that you can't be a fan of it. Just please stop insisting that it is a sport.

confident it does require athleticism in spite of the shown fact that it is not finished a interest. The defenition of interest is any athletic interest that comprises opposition. confident wwe is aggressive yet interior the top they are relatively in simple terms doing it for the sake of followers. activities entertainment is defined as a mix of athleticism and appearing that's esentially what wwe is.

No, I don't get tired of it. Sports aren't scripted. Pro- wrestling is. Hence, pro-wrestling is NOT a sport. Period. Get over it.
