People go around saying, "oh,I don't watch that FAKE crap". Wrestling is fake, yea, I know! But movies with fight scenes are fake too! Right? I think they are fakers. Wrestling is like a giant soap opera, kind of, that never ends! It is entertainment for people to just get away from reality. So what if wrestling is fake, not all of it is. Sometimes, mainly back in the 80-90s, REAL fights would break out, many times in the ring during the match, does accidentally get hurt, the people are entertainers. It is just a show. Does anyone agree??

I agree with you that the wrestlers are entertainers and they are doing the job brilliantly. I loved watching the wrestling matches especially the special events they have.

wrestling is an entertainment show. its a fake. the chairs , tables and other stuff are made by light metal, so nobody gets hurt. when it comes to winning matches... for an example lets say that the undertaker is going to face randy orton! before the match begins the authorities select who is gong to be the winner...lets say that they decide to choose undertaker as the winner, that means randy orton must lose. after the plan, when they meet up the ring they work according to the plan. though its fake they act like real.

Yes, the materials that the "weapons" are made out of are lighter and the tables break easier. However, that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt no matter how "light" the metal is.

Yes. it does not mean you will not get hurt if you were struck by a light weapon. Wrestling is entertainment but they entertain by risking their lives. I think wrestling is more real than any other fight movies because they do not use special effects, besides the blood. :D hmm.

Yes I agree. And while it is fake in that they don't really try to hurt one another, jumping off a 20 ft. latter isn't fake, being put through a table isn't fake, etc. etc. There are reasons why so many injuires occur in this business because it is really risky and sometimes people do get hurt.
