re: Is Pro Wrestling A Sport

It may be acting, but to say these guys aren't athletes is a flat out lie. I'm not a wrestling fan in the least, but these guys take a physical beating over and over again. Was listening to a podcast where they'll often cut their forehead to get the blood flowing to sell some of the big hits like a chair to the face. All of the older wrestlers have scratched up faces. It's nuts and scripted, but it is a physically demanding "activity" that they work really hard for.
