No.
It's completely staged entertainment that requires athletic ability.

Agreed it would be like saying Cirque Du Soleil is a sport. Its a show.

WWE - World Wrestling Entertainment.
Granted it is categorized as "Sports entertainment" but it is still entertainment. There may be only a handful of guys who are not Athletic, but because the results are fully scripted barring a surprise injury, it cannot be considered a sport.

I can't act. Does that make acting a sport?

I'm not even trolling. That shite is damn near as rehearsed as the fricking Royal Rumble.

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
my neighbor's wife was just like this. but, it certainly didn't make her an athlete.

It takes true athletes to make it to that level - but once there it is entertainment.
