I think WWE is 100% fake, all fights are predecided, just that, they need to perform those finishing moves that sometimes make them injured.

Is WWE Fake or Real?

[Netherrealmer]

Its scripted but not fake. Getting kicked on the head hurts, Getting under submission hurts, In fact MMA uses a lot of wrestling moves and a lot of successful MMA fighters are former wrestlers. Wrestlers die earlier than boxers. Look Boxers only have 1 to 3 matches a year. Wrestlers do house shows so they take a bump everyday. Many wrestlers dont live pass 60.

Boxers and MMA fighters have longer lives than wrestlers. Wrestlers go through more abuse Physical and mental. MMA fighters and Boxers can spend holidays with family. Wrestlers cant..

Speaking of wwe, It might be a good stock now because its getting Squid Game level of ratings since they moved to Netflix

[Tendz]

While the physicality of the matches is real and the performers do put themselves at risk of injury, the overall presentation is staged for entertainment purposes.

[Netherrealmer]

Its the best day to be a wrestling fan.

Raw is ratings winner in Netflix

WWE and TNA are having crossovers

AEW,Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro works together

[Angie10]

I have to say it took me ages to realise it wasn't all real. My husband, who's a keen wrestling fan, told me But some of the stunts are hard to watch as I don't like to see violence, especially when you hear some of the wrestlers end up with severe injuries. What I really enjoy is this trash talking LOL

[Netherrealmer]

Being a career martial artist, an MMA fighter, a boxer, or a kickboxer is easier than being a professional wrestler. Yes, the sports I mentioned are not scripted and involve real fights, but fighters typically only compete one to three times a year. In many cases, especially for big-name fighters, they only fight once a year. They also have significant rest periods to allow their bodies to recover.

In contrast, wrestling may be scripted, but it’s a relentless grind. Every day, every night, wrestlers take bumps, get thrown through tables, endure kicks to the head, suplexes onto hard floors, and submission holds. If you're a heel wrestler—a performer who plays the villain—you also face an onslaught of online abuse from fans who take your character personally. Wrestling is physically and mentally taxing because it’s a constant, everyday commitment. Wrestlers put their lives on the line daily, entertaining fans while being away from their families for most of the year.

Many wrestlers miss out on holidays with loved ones and can’t even attend the funerals of family members. It’s a form of torture—physically and emotionally—despite the scripted nature of the performance. Their bodies endure far more abuse than those of fighters who have time to recover between bouts. Considering these challenges, it's understandable why some wrestlers, particularly those outside of WWE, turn to platforms like OnlyFans to supplement their income.

I have been a fan of wrestling since I was a kid. I also used to be friends with a wrestling star that was a 2 time champion. I am currently friends with a former wwe star. Yes it is scripted but accidents do happen more often than they want. The latest is when Big E of the new day got a move put on him and the wrestler who put it on him was a fraction off and broke his neck. Big E has been walking but has not been able to wrestle since that day

[Jem Smith]

Definitely scripted. They can (and do) really get injured sometimes though.

[augusta]

i see wrestling as another entertainment show. So they are acting but try to make it real

[JASPREET]

Thanks for sharing your views, I have seen wrestlers die early all because of the workload and they do meet accidents often

[Tendz]

The physical demands of the sport can take a toll on their bodies. The intense training, constant travel, and risky moves all contribute to serious injury or even death.

[Fidelia]

Wrestling is entertainment. Most of the things are scripted. But they have made a multi million dollar industry out of it.

[augusta]

Yes they are paid well for the sport as much it would be attractive to others.

[eldavis]

WWE is filled with lots of acting and scripted stories, but I don't think the fights are fake.

[JASPREET]

It's clear that it's scripted but the job itself is quite challenging that you may not be able to survive for long

[Netherrealmer]

wwe improved immensedly eversince Vince Mcmahon is gone. They decrease the number of house shows which had been killing wrestlers for years.

[augusta]

Yes it is make believe but it comes with its own risks and challenges that deter a lot of people from indulging it.

Which house shows? I used to follow religiously but have lost interest now

[Netherrealmer]

House shows are not televised. wrestlers films tv episodes and pay per views. House shows are not filmed as they are not canon to tv. Its live performance for money. They use to do it everyday. many wrestlers gets injured in house shows because they have no scripts, they are impromptu.

wwe house show


wrestlers use to do 5 house shows and 2 tapings a week making their body feel sore and abuse.

Look what decades of house shows did to Razor Ramon

Before


after


a lot of wrestlers die before 60 because of daily house shows

[JASPREET]

Thanks, I was not aware of it. They like to use their age to make money because when they are old, they won't be able to wrestle and make money
