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.


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
