It's A Scripted Show

The shows done by the WWE is based on entertainment which features storylines that are scripted and matches that are choreographed, the moves these wrestlers do in the ring takes years of practice to perfect and do safely to avoid the risks of injuries. Who wins and how a match ends is predetermined.

Kayfabe

This is the portrayal of staged events in pro wrestling as true or real. Kayfabe covers the fact that the matches are scripted to happen and that the wrestlers portrays a certain character during the show. A wrestler going against his or her character is considered to have broken kayfabe. Kayfabe was strongly maintained fit decades and since the world is now literally a global village, the pro wrestling industry has become less concerned in protecting backstage secrets and only occasionally maintain kayfabe during shows.

Kayfabe Injuries

Another type of kayfabe are the injuries occurs in two ways, for a storyline or to put a wrestler off of TV for some time. If you are current with the product, you'd notice Curtis Axel wearing a neck brace but still gets beat up a lot and surprisingly not die cheesy

The Undertaker Wasn't Really Buried Alive

The "dead man" wasn't actually buried alive. If you watch his buried alive matches with Mick Foley and Kane you will notice that the hole is built on a
platform. There is a trap door at the bottom of
the hole they slip through to be underneath the
platform. You will also notice they don't have
the camera viewing inside the hole while it is
being filled. That way people are lead to think
whoever is in the hole has been buried. It's was just a good old magic trick. Watch the video below.

YES WE KNOW all this.. But what you didn't mention was that. All the stunts done in the ring are REAL, e.g like the Standing back flip, like the flying samoa nd more.. Most injuries are real not disputing the fact dat some Kayfabe comes into in some injuries... E.g John cena broken Nose REAL as f**k, The miz broken tooth against AJ STYLES, It affected his On screen appearance of other shows which wwe compensated him for that... Seth rollins fractured knees against d big show...My point: It scripted very visible, But No pretense like a Nigerian movie were you not shot but you bandage ur head to ur toe, SIMPLE explanation: It no Film trick, You're paid to collect pain. When i was growing up i tried the STONE cold stunner i almost killed my brother hahahah
