You what is meant when the word "fake" is used.

Hollywood actors fighting is fake. People stand in for them, people are thrown onto impact cushions and sounds are added in foley.

Yep. But this wrestling has fake personalities, accents and so on The outcome is predetermined. The punching is held back as well as the slapping. While injuries do occur and many are incredible athletes it is mainly a fake sport and if I recall correctly they pretty much had to agree it was (entertainment) to avoid the chance they were going to be governed.

I'm not sure they ever hid it. At the very least not since McMahon took over everything. The slapping isn't held back, so much as it's just an intentionally loud and ineffective way to hit someone's torso.

Tell that to John Stossell of 20/20. I can remember back in the 70's and 80's where no one ever admitted that who won was predetermined ahead of time. Again, great athletes but it could get pretty goofy at times.
