FAKE FAKE FAKE!
FAKE!!
FAKE!!

I thought Cong Man was probably tired of dismissing these ill thought-out cries of wrestling being ‘fake’, so I’m going to have a shot.
The first point I’d like to make is that I would like to see MY BRICK or whoever else calls wrestling ‘fake’ to fake being launched into the air and landing on their back. Or to fall from a scaffold – can you fake that? If so, I think the industry could do with you, it could be revolutionary.
Yes, the results are predetermined. There’s no denying it. The winner knows he is going to win, and the loser knows he is going to lose. But this, my friends, as AJ so rightly pointed out, is sports entertainment. Not necessarily a sport. You could forgive those who do not speak English for possibly confusing the two, but otherwise, it’s plain for all to see. Professional wrestling has never called itself a ‘sport’, and I dare say that it will never do so. But wrestlers only having to ‘look in shape’? Please, do us all a favour and find out fit a wrestler has to be. Could you manage 25 minutes of being thrown around, throwing other people around, being hit, running and bouncing off steel cables? You talk about stamina? You clearly have no idea.
Sportsmen do indeed compete to win – but wrestlers are not total sportsmen, are they? Do you see David Beckham cutting promos, or Dwain Chambers sneak attacking Mark Lewis-Francis? These guys have to act, be fit, get over with the crowd, the whole package – they are not totally sportsmen, they are much more than that.
And why are results predetermined? Because otherwise, it would lose its storyline potential, and that is another reason for watching it. I can get my fix of sports action for just about anything else, but wrestling caters of that bit of me that wants something behind the action – it makes it much more interesting. But that still doesn’t explain how it makes it ‘fake’. ‘Fake’ would imply that everything was an illusion – sorry, lads, that’s just wrong. Punches may be pulled, but you just don’t fake falling through a table. Come back with some form of evidence, should any exist, that says that professional wrestling actually is ‘fake’, or just shut up.

Err... read some of my posts prior to this further down the topic. Is that not explanation enough for you?
They are actors, and as the many points I've made below suggest, sportsmen too.

No-one is saying it's a serious sport, you fool.
SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT.
They're still sportsmen, but also entertainers at the same time.

Doesn't matter, you still came in the WWE Forum, since the first time you came here you didn't know this topic was here, since you didn't make it.
