So what's your opinion?
We all know it's Pre-Determined in the vast majority of times. Is this enough to make you call it FAKE?
What do you think?

Mostly real. Some of the interviews and out-of-ring drama are scripted. Nice vid btw.

Although some of the physicality is real, I'm not going to call scripted drama and predetermined results "real" wrestling - nor will I waste my time watching it.

Totally fake. Some of the things you see wrestlers do if it was for real it would kill the opponent.

It’s real when something goes wrong. The referee has a hand signal for when the wrestler really gets injured. Some of the planned stuff hurts too.

Even the physicality in Pro Wrestling is scripted and rehearsed; it certainly involves a type of physical skill, expert timing and personal risk for the participants, but it's like watching a prolonged piece of movie stunt work without anything in the way of a surrounding story.

Isn’t the word ‘choreographed’?

My favorite is when a guy vibrates after getting smacked, acts stunned, but is easily walked into the ropes or a corner post.

Isn’t the word ‘choreographed’? Exactly. I pretty much always saw it as like something like stunt performers would train to do.

So what's your opinion? So do you think Wrestling is Fake or Real?
As of 3 hours ago. It’s real....

Pro-wrestling is fake in terms of being predetermined but real in terms of athleticism required and the abuse to their bodies. The purpose of the athleticism is not to win but to entertain and sell tickets.
