Anyone who has really watched wrestling knows quite well that even if the overall matches are choreographed as far as outcome, winner, etc., the hits are often quite real enough, because YOU CAN'T FAKE GRAVITY.

You might pull a punch, but you can't fake throwing a man from 8-10 feet in the air onto his back or out onto the ring floor. or through a table, or slammed so hard with a metal chair that the steel bends and breaks.

I've seen many matches where a wrestler is covered in cuts, bleeding, bruises and contusions that happened right there during the match.

Watch the death notices: many of these wrestlers die in their 60s.

People spin the “FAKE” thing.

When most people say it is FAKE, they mean the outcome is predetermined and the interactions are carefully choreographed.

We are not claiming Super Fly Snuka was not actually jumping off the top rope. Duh.

wrestlers are well paid stunt men....
