real or fake!

i've had this question in my head for almost 5 years now!

and it is!

IS WRESTLING REAL OR FAKE!

so I ask your opinions on it THANK YOU!

Both, its fake in the fact that everything is scripted, the backstage tells them who wins and loses, but the real part are the majority of the moves. While punches and kicks are mostly fake, the slams, high risk moves, and submission holds are mostly real and people do get hurt from them.

couldnt have said better myself

To be a wrestler, is to be an actor.
Crusher you can just ask youself: Is [insert sitcom name here] real or fake?
And I fully agree with you MoF.

Btw - Crusherman, you have just asked the unholy question about wrestling. Congratz!

yeah thanx!

cause I have gone on youtube and seen videos that say that it's fake and real so my head was messed up!

Oh, and if you want to know something about how wrestling is backstage. Try to find some wrestling books, I have just finished one by Foley. And I am planning on buying Controversy Creates Cash as soon as I get enough money.
But Crusher, you cannot call wrestling fake. It is scripted, everything is scripted someway or somehow. But still they can get real injuries and so. (Also I think some indepentet has 'real' wrestling? Correct me if I am wrong)
Oh, and just if you haven't realized yet: The blood is real, created by 'cutting'.

parts of wrestling are real, eg matt hardy jumping from a high platform onto someone is real, eg no wires etc. However the outcome of pro wrestling matches are pre-determined, and most wrestlers who feud don't actualy have a problem with each other because it is scripted.

The comment about whether you count acting as real or not kinda is true, although at the end of the day actors have stunt doubles. Wrestlers dont

cool
