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.

A lot of what you said can be said about many actors. How many actors have been bruised or broken?

It's not a sport. I'm not trying to put it down, but it's simply entertainment. Good entertainment, but that's it. Outcome is decided ahead of time =\= sport
