No but many of the moves require some degree of athleticism.

In the older days pro wrestling was legit. We are talking frank and Karl gotch, hackenschmidt, Lou thesv etc.

It wasn't until the 80's when it was publicly broadcasted when people doubted the authenticity of it. See dr. Dave Schultz slapping that news reporter.

These days many wrestlers break away from their character when doing interviews outside of the wwe. Except for the old guys like flair, hogan, iron sheik etc. their character and real self are one in the same.
