WWE is sports entertainment. Meaning that its theatrical. But mind you, the moves are real.

You guys mean to say that those punches, kicks jumps that I do see on screen are real? How come I have never see nor read that any wrestler died as a result, because those moves are deadly? Please I need more conviction.

Some people said that if it's fake, spectators won't have paid to watch them live.
How do we reconcile this?

Stumbled on this accidentally. I am a faithful fan of WWE. My favorite sports followed by lawn tennis and football.
WWE wrestling is all about entertainment. That's why it is called sports entertainment. It's all scripted. There are dedicated script writers (called WWE created writers) who generate storylines including the feuds. The wrestlers are well trained. They read the scripts, understand it, and act it out. They are professionals. Before a wrestling match ever occurs, the winner and loser are identified. They are now left to act it on stage. Each wrestler is also given a character (some are heels while others are babyfaces). The ability of a wrestler to play his assigned role and captivate the fans determine the level of success of the wrestler - it's not about winning or losing. Wrestlers like The Rock, HBK, Austin and Undertaker are well known for their ability to portray their character to impress the fans. Wrestling is acting big time.

But it must be said that the moves can be dangerous. People get hurt. Some undergo surgeries as a result of injuries sustained during the act. Some start using performance enhancing drugs.

Anoneism,

The poster above me has said all there is to say.

I would want to put this argument to bed once and for all.

Firstly, have you heard about the word "Kayfabe"?

If no, check the link below

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayfabe

Mind you, I am a fan of wrestling. I have seen wrestling for over 24years though I don't watch much of it these days.

Having said that, your question would have been more appropriate if it was asked this way:

1. Are results of wrestling bout predetermined or not? Yes, it is predetermined.

2. Is wrestling staged or not? Yes, it is staged

3. Does wrestling follow a storyline or not? Yes, it follows a storyline.

Asking whether wrestling is fake or real will bring unending debate.

Re: Is WWE Wrestling Real Or Fake Or Just Play Acting? by Nobody: 10:25pm On Mar 30, 2015
This is a timeless question since the beginning of "entertainment" Wrestling.I call it entertainment because that is what it really is.The outcomes are premeditated.The moves are also pre-planned.That is why the whole thing has a scripted and "story line" kind of feel.This not withstanding,the Wrestlers themselves are actually trained to execute the stunts and bear the pains and some of them have taken huge hits and sustained injuries in the course of the matches and that is why the steroids they take help alleviate such pains and why we are also advised not to "try this at home" as our bodies are not suited for such rigours.I hope my explanation helps...

This is a argument that will neva stop.
But you know what I don't give a f*ck whether the show is acted/scripted or not, I love what I see on d screen every raw and smackdown every week and also The main events Edition. I hardly miss any episode of show. Let dos arguing on the credibility continue, we don't give a Bleep because:

We've seen wrestling much longer than you I'm sure and I retain so much love for it till date.

That doesn't stop us from saying it as it is. The Op is happy to learn.
