Wrestling Fake?

[likatiga]

All the outcomes are predetermined. The storylines are designed to entertain as are the gimmicks. And we all know that if you really got piledrived (just ask Stone Cold) or hit with a flying elbow it could and probably would cause some serious damage. However a lot of the hits that happen in the ring are real, especially in the indies. There have been to many injuries and to much blood spilt to deny the fact that on occasions wrestling action is real.

^ That just means they are bad wrestlers who make mistakes. That's why they are on the indy scene. Wrestling is all fake. I fail to see how anyone with the brainpower of a human can believe pro-wrestling is "100% real".

I completely disagree with likatiga. Injuries in pro wrestling in the upper echelon ( WWE, TNA etc. ) are about 75 % to 25 %. 25 % are caused by one move such as a botched piledriver etc. The main bulk of wrestling injuries happen over time and then one time the body just gives out. This is not the talents fault and even a lot of the times when injury is caused by talent you can't fully blame them because mistakes and injuries do happen. I am sure that there are many good wrestlers out there who have injured guys one time or another by accident.

i know this guy on my bus home, hes an ass whenever I bring up wrestling and says, "Wrestling sucks. Its fake. I dont know why you watch it." Its kinda ironic that one of his best friends is a huge wrestling fan. Anyway at least now I have a response. Seriously, theres a reason its called wrestling "ENTERTAINMENT"

[likatiga]

I agree with you lost soul, however the point I am trying is that wrestlers don't go out of there way to hurt themselves or others. The moves that they do, especially the high impact ones have been practised and hopefully perfected before they hit a WWE, TNA or even indy ring. There are some instances where the moves goes wrong and somebody is injured. But to completely write wrestling off as fake is complete ignorance. Like I said in my previous post, we are not morons, we do know that the result is predetermined, we know that they are largely in the entertainment industry, but these guys are athletes and they work just as hard as any other professional athletes to improve there performance, for us the viewer.

^That's basically exactly what I said, only dumbed down a little.

That is exactly how wrestling talent is measured. Good wrestlers have a minimal number of adccidents. The shitty ones put their opponents in hospitals.

This whole talk of injuries really is beside the point anyway. Noting that wrestlers do get injured doesn't prove or disprove anything in terms of wrestling being fake. Just the fact that we are referring to them as "injuries" means they were not supposed to happen. If a pro-boxer or MMA fighter gets his lip busted or his nose broken, it's not considered an injury. That is because those types of fighting are real.

[likatiga]

The bottom line is that it is an entertainment industry, I tend to think aspects of it are real, others think differently.

You're clinging to false hopes if you still think aspects of it are real after everything that has been posted in this thread.

^The only thing stupid was that post. No one in this thread had said once that wrestling was stupid. Why would we even be registered here if we thought that? This was supposed to be a discussion on the fakeness of pro-wrestling, not your own little rant on those who have called wrestling stupid.
