Wrestling is Cool

Professional wrestling is scripted for entertainment (they hate the word fake).

The moves and grapples stem from a lot of amature, college and olympic wrestling and are real but the performers are taught how take falls, submissions and hits without hurting each other.

It's a mixture of choreograph and creative playfighting with a wrestling theme.

Chair shots to the head are sometimes blocked with the wrestlers right hand (or not depending on the wrestler). Blood is used in main events by the wrestler making a small cut on his forehead, the small blade is usually carried by the ref or in the wrestlers wristband.

Real wrestling is almost completely mat based (grapples and holds on the floor) as opposed to flamboyant professional wrestling which revolves more around punching, bouncing off ropes and special finishing moves.

There are many wrestlers that started out at non professional level and truely have technical wrestling skill such as Chris Benoit, Bret Hart and Kurt Angle.

However most of the new guys today on the WWE for instance have no real wrestling history.

All in all Professional wrestling is about entertainment, watch it and let it entertain you.

I did professional wrestling for 3 years. My daughters dad and brother have done it for 8 years. I quit b/c it is TO HARD!! No one can ever imagine what you are putting your body's threw!!

Yes and no on the fakeness.

No Chris Benoit is not really mad at Triple H and randomly threw in threw the ring.

Yes the moves are very very very real. Most wrestlers wing it when they go out. But every move is real. and done correctly it can be amazing.

But there is a certain amount of secret that goes along with being a wrestler. So i can't say to much.

But my Daughters Dad put bruises all down his back taking bumps at a WWE house show. That is how hard there ring is.

I couldn't take the stiff necks, the aches and pains and work out after 3 years, but i could do any move the big dogs could!!

The goal of wrestling is to make you believe and feel emotion. They want you to hate them. They want you to love them. They want you to think they broke there back.

You need to watch Beyond the Mat. It explains allot!!! Oh and my brother is in it!! ;)

Wrestling is staged. Whenever you see them do things that you've never see before, they practice it before the match. Examples of this are when John Cena lifted up Big Show and Edge on his shoulders or when Matt Hardy hit a Twist of Fate on Jeff while his head was in the chair. The only "real" moves they do are chops(when the crowd goes wooooo!). But trust me, the "fake" moves just as well. When the wrestlers get hurt, most of the time its due to a botch. A botch is when the mess up and actually hurt there opponents or themselves. Kind of like at the One Night Stand™ PPV last year when Triple H broke Randy Orton's collarbone. This was definitely real and Randy didn't land on his back right when got thrown out of the ring. This caused the match to end prematurly. So the bottom line is yes wrestling is fake, but the bumps and bruises are real and those wrestlers put their bodies on the line for the fans(excluding Batista, he just does it the large paycheck).

Its a performance is the best way to put it. Alot of it is planned out and acting. The real parts are when guys slip up they call these "bumps" and get injured.

If it was all real there'd be no need for wrestling school.

Look at Boogeyman and tell me thats real.

Wrestling came "out of the closet" a few years ago. They publicly admitted that it was a performance and they offered the general public the opportunity to join the wrestling school so they could learn the fine art of slamming people and being angry. I guess you could question yourself about anything on T.V. today (including the news) but that is another story.

They are all carefully planned. Who wins and loses is all planned in advance, too. The wrestlers are actually more like stunt men. The moves are scripted and so are the "rivalries." I don't know why some people are so angry to learn this. Tobey McGuire isn't really Spiderman, but it's still fun to watch the movie!

Wrestling is predetermined, so all the moves but the punches and kicks and chairshots are real, and the tables are actually just hollow pieces of microparticle wood, so other than that, everything is already planned but its real.

The moves are real, but little or no pressure is applied and the match is scripted. Don't you ever see the wrestlers talking to each other during the match? They are telling each other what they are going to do next.

Most of it is fake but some is real.

some parts of wrestling is real and some are fake.wrestling is script.
