some of the part is story, some acting but most of it is real.. like blood and jumps and even the injuries.

the WWE is a business and any business's aim is to make as much money from the public as possible. Wrestling matches have been predetermined since the 1920s so nothing new there.

No-the blood isnt always real. In certain angles, stage blood is used, for example in instances where blood pours out of the mouth.
As for injuries, many are also injury angles what you see on television, to excuse another reason for a performer taking time off, away from TV.

I think part of the reason pro wrestling is so popular is "real" sports are so unpredictable and aren't always entertaining. For example, Mike Tyson's 91 second victory over Spinks in 1988, which people paid big money to watch on pay-per-view.
At least with pro-wrestling, you know you're going to get your money's worth.

It is all just entertainments. For years the wrestlers have said they are just entertainers.

it is acting .. but the sport is too demanding .. the athelets have to be in supreme physical conditions ..
all the fights are essentially choreographed
