Oh please, just watch them, when they go to hit someone, they stomp they'er foot down. Under them is like a tin floor or something like that, that makes a lot of noise. I use to believe that crap too. I haven't watched it since a friends aunt, who was married to one of those guys, told me how fake it was.

ahh come one man!! Its not even close to that. Its the soap opera for guys to watch. And there have been plenty of wrestlers to get hurt also. Its not as safe as you think. Jumping from ladders and top rops. Its for entertainment. Don't hate on it cause you don't like it.

Real? It is real. Well what they do is real. They're really making contact & the blood is real (9 times out of 10) Do they really hate each other if they would have seen each other on the street...no. Is it predetermined who's going to win a match.....yes. It's all sports entertainment. The difference between something like this and football is the fact that it's in a sense fixed. Hense the entertainment portion of the WWE.

I have met Black Angus, Greg Lake, and The Patriot. All tell me the same thing. Is it fake? That's like asking if Desperate Housewives is fake. Neither are fake. They are what they are: entertainment. Injuries and deaths? Far less performers suffer injuries or death in pro wrestling than in the construction of a bridge. Any performer who deviates from the script other than ab lib comments, is drummed out and never will work again. Probably not even as an announcer, ticket seller, popcorn dude, or stuntman. The opportunity to injure someone within the pro wrestling establishment is so great, it is not, nor has it ever been tolerated. They are actors. It is a show. You must be a guy.\nMAXIM recently did a story on the 20 best performers in the modern hx of wrestling. Yes, Tommy (Hulk) Hogan, and Andre the Giant were amongst them. In 1980, a NY cabbie, who was born in NY with parents of mideastern descent, agreed to train for the role of the "Iron Shiek. The Iranian National Wrestling Champion". He could not lose - part of the deal. He was heckled, he took hostages twice, he tried to "kill" SGT. Slaughter, and never once did anyone even throw anything at him. Even \nthe old ladies there knew it was a show. 1980; think about it. Are there ANY smart dudes out there?

You know, I never thought of it that way, seriously.  Movies are fake too but you never see ppl putting that down like wrestling.  Thanks for a different way of looking at things.

The punches on television are not actually real.  Say for example, you punch a bag (for real) and compare that to a wrestler that punches that same bag.  You would notice that a wrestler would raise his front leg and slam it at the same time that he would supposedly make contact with the bag, thus giving the illusion that he/she really hit that bag hard.\n\nHowever, a bag does not move when it is "hit" by a wrestler.  So lets say I was hit by a wrestler, I would "act out" that hit and either fall to the floor, turn my face, act in pain, or something like that.\n\nIt's a double illusion combo, the wrestler that hits the person makes the noise of the hit, and the victim acts like he/she has just been hit.

neither! house, all csi, criminal minds, cold case, Dexter on showtime, standoff, the shows you are asking about are about stupid like wrestling is. they are rigged & they already know who is going to win.

Pro Wrestling is basically fake, "basically".\n\nOk, first off, yes wrestlers do get paid. The bigger star you are, more money you make. The bit stars like batista, kurt angle and undertaker probably make alot of money.\n\nWrestling is fake in the way that some of those moves would kill people regularly, and they do it in a certain way that looks more damaging that it normally would. Some of the moves hurt, but not as much as it looks. When wrestlers get on the top of the rope, and jump and land on a person, they do it in a special way so it doesn't hurt as much as usual, but none-the-less it hurts. When a wrestler hits another wrestler with a chair, it hurts, but the chair is made of very light aluminum, which basically you can put a dent in it by literally hitting it with your finger. It's all in execution.\n\nAs far as planning it, they basically just do whatever for the first part of the round, then yes some of the later moves are probably planned, depends, mostly wrestlers know who is going to win and who isn't, so they just wrestle knowing that.\n\nYa but I'm going to quit typing now, I think you get the point.
