I believe that only 5-year olds make that counter-question. Star Wars and wrestling, you must get all the girls. And you had the nerve to have a go at me on that Maradona thread for me deservedly mocking him kicking a toy ball around and being worshipped as a god for that.

Eric Embry once fell off a 25 foot scaffold during a match (not shown here). If you don't think that's real I don't know what to tell you.

I guess you are just lonely and love boring and irrelevant things.

"All girls and anyone with good taste likes Star Wars." That's why you only like men and dislike Star Wars.

Twenty years ago, we PRETENDED to hurt each other, and the fans believed it. Today, we REALLY DO hurt each other, and the fans think it's fake. Who are the marks now?? Jim Cornette Great quote and it really is true. It was a lot better when the marks were the ones in the stands and not in the ring.

I started watching Portland Wrestling when I was 12-13. It was on every Saturday night in Seattle on one week tape delay. My brothers and I talked my Dad into taking us when we visited my aunt in Portland. During one of the interviews, Jimmy Snuka was talking about losing the title in Seattle "last Wednesday" even though those Seattle matches hadn't happened yet. We went to those matches the next Wednesday and everything played out just how Snuka had described the weekend before. The Portland territory I need to see more of. Seen some but not a ton.

Mud wrestling? Totally real. Should be an Olympic sport.

Real. Its even an olympic sport. Whats on the video? Wouldnt load for me. It's the Undertaker throwing Mick Foley from the top of the giant cell towards the announcers table like 4 or 5 meters down. Yeah but they’ll show you the angle which makes it look more impactful. We don’t really see what he lands on and that would be intentional. Mick Foley is like a stuntman. Are movies real because they contain choreographed stunts?

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?
Well, when you have worked as many wrestling shows as I have and you help set up the writers room, you come to the conclusion its fake. It's nothing more than a scripted gymnastic show. Do they get hurt? Sure just as gymnasts get hurt. Is it physical? Yep it is. Is it choreographed? Yep it sure is. The only time the winner isn't picked ahead of time is if the predetermined winner gets hurt and can't finish the show.

My husband's brother-in-law was a semi famous wrestler in the 50's and 60's (when he retired , another wrestler took his professional name). My husband said the wrestlers practiced their moves and knew who would win but it was still a very physical match, you had to be in good shape. I'm sure that hasn't changed but everything is fancy now, in the old days the wrestlers just wore those little black bathing suits and didn't make the money that the wrestlers today earn. I'm not a wrestling fan.

It's definitely a mixture. The stories are all scripted and some of the bigger spots are setup up prior to the match itself, but those spots don't always go according to plan.
Other than that it is certainly real. They often get hurt, just as in that video of Mick Foley getting tossed off the Hell in a Cell roof. You can't fake stuff like that.

It’s a mix of sport and entertainment. Certain moves and results are worked out beforehand but the skills and strength to carry them out certainly are not fake.
Mind you, I don’t like wrestling so what the heck do I know?

What you just said made absolutely no sense.
Mick Foley really fell from like 5 meters high into the commentators table.
How the hell is that fake?! There's no CGI and camera angles are irrelevant, that was a live show.

You just described why it's scriped and pre-determined.
So you worked in wrestling and you come to the conclusion that it's fake when it's not fake but yes scripted... Now that's very odd.

You do know that Pro Wrestling is not a sport right?
