Some good ole boys think its totally real.:p
But wrestling IS real. It is in fact a form of martial arts and not any where near easy to perform. Wrestling requires both a keen mind and a capable physique.
As for the showboating version of it; It still requires a strong body though depending on how planned out every incident is it may not require a keen mind so much. If only victory or defeat and the length of the match is decided, well then it isn't fake combat by anymeans. Just predetermined combat. And there the keen mind can still play a role. Unfortunately I have no clue how much those matches are preplanned; thus, I can't really comment on that style of wrestling overly much.
Some of it has to hurt. In some cases wrestlers purposely cut themselves in order to bleed in the ring
Depends on the wrestlers, really. Some guys have good chemistry together, and the finish is planned, but the rest can be pretty much made up on the spot. Some guys like to plan out "spots", like the flashy looking stuff, i.e a chain of moves leading up to a big high flying move, for instance, and some guys like to plan out every single step of the match. All depends on the wrestler who's taking the lead role of the match.Quote:

And yes skill it would definately take. My reference to the keen mind is that a lot of the wrestling keen mindedness that I see on the mat is based heavily on how well you can react to and judge situations and manuveurs no matter how bizarre they may be. And if every moved is planned that sort of gets rid of that neccesity.
This is a wrestling fan. He probably found out it wasn't real or something. :p
Seriously, supposedly that ring is not as soft and springy as it looks. Maybe the outcome is fake but the move must still hurt to a certain extent. No matter how safely the moves are performed.
YOu mean the wrestling they did in highschool,college,and olympics is fake?
I find it impossible to watch fake TV wrestling now. I used to, years ago. But ever since I started watching UFC (real fighting), WWE crap is painful to watch.
all wrestling look stupidly fake to me :/
It always makes me laugh when people say "lololol wrestling is so gay big sweaty men in pants throwing each other around" and then go on about how good UFC is, what with it's 15 minute fights consisting of two men hugging each other or putting each others faces in their crotch. It's possibly the most boring and worrying excuse for fighting on the planet, but it doesn't surprise me that YOU like it, Raisin. :aimkiss:Quote:

what i call real fighting is two drunk guys out front of a bar on friday night who are probably drunk and have something stupid to prove.
may not look impressive but it's real
WWE and anything similar is just crap. It's fake and filled with stupid drama. UFC is where it's at. :cool:
It depends on the style of the fighters in UFC. If you have a couple of grapplers it can be good or just lying on the mat for ages. If you have martial arts based fighters or boxing styles it can a good fight.Quote:

And again, to the people who say it is fake...don't you think it would be a lot harder to try and make moves look painful but try and stop it being painful? Rather than just beating the living hell out of each other. Taking nothing away from UFC fighters but pro-wrestling is also a very physical and demanding form of entertainment.
first off wwe is not fake, yes it fakes when they take a sledge hammer and smack it in faces, lol. Its soft sledge hammer. But chairs arent fake, and they hit eachother real, and its defintly not fake when theyre slamming eachother down, i beileve very much that, that really hurt.Quote:
