Is WWE real or fake?

I think that everything on that show is scripted. They get in a lot of money for making all the drama that the viewers expect to see.

I think it has some scripted elements in it. Too much drama and mon umentality for a kind of sports event/show like that.

Some of the punching are fake but the high flying acrobatics the smashing of chairs and tables are real. Yes WWE has become a scripted show but it is still real in terms of the wrestling genre. The drama that is portrayed makes the wrestling more interesting and exciting. Imagine if all of it is pure hard core wrestling like those in the Olympics, then you may think after a while that it becomes boring. The addition of feuds and drama in wrestling has given the sport a certain twist in match making and challenges. The grapples are real, sometimes it became so real that a wrestler suffers from a broken feet or finger but its all part of the show. Still WWE is a world of pure wrestling entertainment.

Of course it is fake but to be exact it's scripted. Amateur wrestling is the real one, this can be in a form of collegiate competition, amateur events, etc. While professional wrestling refers to wrestling entertainment which is scripted but the injuries and physicalities are real, especially the danger/risks. Anyway, I used to watch wrestling, but I have stopped already and just into NBA basketball. Just too much violent, though some are just comedic like Santino Marella's antics. Probably one of the bad effects of these shows is that children imitate what they see on tv in spite of the warnings etc.

I have been watching wrestling since i was 5 years old kid and i am not kidding, whether you talk about TNA or WWF-WWE. What i know its all mix up, means scripted+some reality. Like you saw CM Punk disrespecting Paul Bear after his R.I.P. , he doesn't show any pity on him, and that's look reality, means not scripted. You need to have the experience in watching wrestling and ability to find out whether it is scripted or not, but who knows what is the inside story. But if you talk about John Cena vs. Rock, that is scripted, like we saw Cena losing every match, after he beaten up by Dwayne at last Wrestlemania, and in the end this year he wins Royal rumble just to take an official entry to Wrestlemania 29 to fight with Rock for WWE title. WWE already plan everything 1 year before, what they have to do next year. They are very-very Clever. And mark my words John Cena will win the match at Wrestlemania 29.

It is fake and scripted, as you can see if they are fighting no blood at all. Even if they will hit you ladder on your head you can still stand, lol I don't thin of somebody heat me on my head or body with ladder or chair I can't stand and continue the fight.

It sure look like a fake fight to me every time both wrestlers go on the stage, most of the time, the act of slamming the opponent into the floor or side of the ring look so unreal, the one who got slammed many time so hard don't even get a broken bone, the ring floor must have make of cotton or water, it is quite unbelievable. It seem like it is scripted to entertain the crowd and tv viewers more than anything.

The plot is definitely fake. They have once shown the back screen stuff before and the wrestlers will all chummy despite their onscreen rivalry. That said, the hazard are real.

Hi, It is faked. Had they made it a real fight, it would have damaged their faces and blood would be shed. After long time watching the play, I decided I am made for a fool watching it, maybe I am a bloodthirsty spectator, the players only simulates the moves in a real combat, situations that can do real damage. On the ring, it is not the real one, only a demonstration or a parody of it.

Do you watch WWE TOUGH ENOUGH? That shows you how it is ... its contestants (vying for a position on the WWE league) focus on 'telling their character's story'---the wrestling athletics--while absolutely necessary (i.e. the wrestlers really do try to hurt & injure each other)--are kind of secondary to the plot.

I don't think the WWE can be real as if that is the case, the wrestlers would suffer serious injuries with the way they punch and kick each other. I feel that it is more entertainment than real sports although the wrestlers have to be sportingly fit to be able to go into the ring.

It's all scripted but it's not easy to predict the results. Like our daily soaps , where every thing is recorded earlier, here scripts are written very early and are executed live in front of audience. But in the ring, they wrestle and the wrestlers do get hurt.

I personally think that some of the stunts on wrestling is real and some of it's fake, but I don't care because I enjoy watching every minute of it. I grew up watching wrestling and until this day I still like it.
