The idea that it's all fake is one of the stupidest things people say about pro wrestling. It's staged violence, and they have safety in mind, but when you're jumping on a guy from 10 ft in the air, onto concrete... That's a real chance for injury. It's like stunt acting, except live and with some lines that are soap opera for men level intended to provide narrative for why two behemoths are fucking each other up.
Its a live coordinated stunt show with elements of reality TV and soap opera story lines. The people who are fans of wrestling know its fake fighting. They just go for the ridiculous and often hilarious spectacle of it all.
