What is the biggest misconception about Professional Wrestling?

Please Elaborate atleast a little bit...

Update:

**Edit, I agree McHell...Also goes for promos too. people think they have "lines" to memorize. Not always the case, thats whatsets people like John Cena and Santino Marella's mic Skills from someone the quality of JBL...

    That it is purely fake. For some reason people believe this means there is no physical risk involved even though it is among the most physically based athletic events in the world.

    That the ENTIRE Match is Choreographed.

    BS - You know How F'N Hard that would be!? Impossible.

    Only about 50% of a Wrestling Match is Scripted to a T - The Beginning & The Finish.

    Generally , it's Only the Lock-Up & First 5 Moves and the Last 5 Moves that Comprise "Go Home" or the Finish of a match that are Scripted Fully.

    The Rest of the Match - The Middle , is Completely Add Lib. It's "Calling" a Match. You See a Rear Naked Choke or a Chinlock - that's a "Rest Hold" & The 2 Performers are Calling a Series of about 5 Moves at a Time. Just Listen Really Close Tonight on RAW or at a PPV (Not SD! or ECW - They can Edit it Out) - You can Actually HEAR Them Calling Moves sometimes

    Example - One Night Stand 2008 Last Year - I Knew Randy Orton was Going Over the Top Rope (Where He Broke His Collarbone) 5 Minutes before it Happened , because I Heard HHH Call for It.

    So , yeah , Saying that an Entire Match is Scripted , is Completely Ignorant.

    Benoit replace into extra useful than Jericho via miles. Benoit performed strikes extra useful, hit extra durable, and blended up technical wrestling with slams and a few intense-flying strikes plenty extra useful than Jericho does. Jericho's offense could desire to be the extra thrilling, yet Benoit replace into extra useful in the hoop ordinary. WQ1: sure, because of the fact he does not desire catchphrases to help him that plenty, and he improvises a majority of his costs. WQ2: Randy Orton is a guy that may not reliable on the mic in any respect. AJ varieties in TNA, besides as Samoa Joe, are not extra special audio equipment, the two. Goldberg additionally had terrible mic skills besides. WQ3: No. Ricky Steamboat shouldn't wrestle finished-time. he's in simple terms too old for it, and his wrestling technique and strikes are actually not something followers will settle for over a protracted volume of time.

    All you need to become a pro wrestler is excessive body builder type muscles. The look might get peoples attention BUT in order to retain the fanfare the "wrestler" needs actual athletic skills and a personality that the fans will love or hate.

    That the wrestlers performing don't get hurt at all.If you read the article that came out yesterday on the Lashley Guida fight,you'll see what I mean.Many fools claim that wrestling is "fake",and that UFC is 10x better.Thats utter BS.Many morons have no idea what wrestlers put their bodies threw day in and day out.These guys have to perform almost every day of the year back to back.And they hardly see their relatives.My hat goes off to all of these performers.Look at the idiot who wrote this article,and you'll clearly see what I hate about it.
