Do you believe pro-wrestling is fake?

    Wrestling is fake, the stunts are real.

    Pro wrestling is almost as rigged as NBA officiating :p

    BTW, I just noticed they sell these tooth boxes. Never noticed em before, but it makes it easier for the parents to find the tooth under the pillow. I mean, uhh, for the tooth fairy to find 'em. I thought it was cool anyway.

    People do not really go through glass. The "glass" is probably just the same stuff the use in movies, sugar. The problem with going through glass is that all of the pieces become deadly implements and would cut a person to ribbons if it was plate glass, or the person would not go through and gould likely suffer several broken bones if it was safety glass.

    The key to enjoying wrestleing is the suspension of disbelief. Of course it is fake, much of the action isn't real and the outcome is predetermined. If you watch it while thinking about how fake it is, it will suck. If you let yourself believe that the outcome is determined by the skill and strength of the competitors, you will enjoy it that much more. I suggest the consumption of copious beer before and during a broadcast to help achieve this state of consciousness.

    Probably so...it doesn't exactly tickle though. I have seen wrestlers get thrown through the stuff and end up with cuts on their bodies.

    BTW I have actually stood in a standard pro wrestling ring. Yes...there is a ton of give. But I will tell you that the canvas is real and it hurts when you hit it. Also the ropes are real...when people are being trained to be wrestlers and they first learn to bounce off the ropes their sides wind up horribly bruised by the ropes.

    It's the same way that many people enjoy science fiction films. For years that is the way I have enjoyed wrestling.

    If you need to be drunk to achieve the willing suspension of disbelief...then I feel very sorry for you.

    Of course it's fake but it is entertaining as heck. Especially when they risk there bodies by flying 60 feet off the top of the Titantron onto a table. I mean nothing is funnier then seeing someone get there head bashed in by a chair (Plastic Chair!) or go through a wood table (the table is about 2 inches thick)! They do get hurt...but then again...sometimes they die. Owen Hart is the perfect example of why you shouldn't want to become a wrestler.

    I don't, it was just a suggestion for those who feel the need to proclaim, "IT'S FAKE!" at every opportunity. Remember, I was the one who asked about good wrestling sites? I love wrestling, and never imbibe any alchohol before watching. :)
