why is pro wrestling fake instead of real?

Pro wrestling in the 80's looked pretty real 😊

Because everybody would be dead

Because pro wrestling is much more entertaining.
Real wrestling is boring.

It's nice to know SW is being honest about the bots and not faking members! Or are they?

Wrestling has always had that sideshow element to it. I used to watch it on World of Sport on ITV here in the UK Coming from places like Badford Town Hall ( non of your Maddison Square Garden nonsence! ) Presented by Kent Walton and featured wrestlers like Mick MCManus, Big Daddy and Kendo Nagasaki. You use see woman sitting watching while they did their knitting! Happy Days

I fondly remember watching WWF with my sons All the scripted stories made it more fake in lots of ways but it drove up the hype I suppose . Interestingly I across WWE Wrestling on an app under comic books! Wresltling was in was mixed in the X men and Batman. Perhaps they don't realise wrestling isn't cosplay!

Because real wrestling isnt glamorous its 2 guys working as hard as they can for 6 minutes and they are exhausted.

Maybe it's a good thing it's all fake. Imagine what the death rate would be if those guys really wanted to maim one another??

I got your fake suplex right heah...yeah!

Awesome choreography! 😃

Probably just cynical math, dollars and cents.

because Sumo wrestling looks somewhat boring.

Is it fake to a redneck?

There was that one match between Mankind and The Undertaker in a 'Hell in a cell' match, were Mankind went off script. Things got bloody pretty quick and was horrible to watch.

jump off the top ropes onto a commentators table and tell me if it feels fake.. :)

Their bodies could never take it! They have a short career and life span already.

I would say it is because of a few bad actors. 😏

Because folding chairs are expensive

It's a damn shame! 😂
