Just as real and believable as when they're in the ring.

I.E. not at all.

Yup but everything that happens in the movies you watch is real and believable right? Otherwise why watch them, right? Oh yeah! They are for entertainment!

I find it hilarious that people knock wrestling for not being real. Yet on the other hand it's perfectly acceptable for that same person to watch a movie or TV show and be entertained by it.

WWE stands for World Wrestling ENTERTAINMENT. And that's all it is, entertainment. For those of us who enjoy watching it.

YOU GOTTA LOVE LIVE TV MIKE!

Duckman, the main difference being that TV, movies, theatre and such all have a sense of verisimilitude, for the most part. Wrestling is just transparent.

What? You mean you watch Star Wars and there's a sense of truth to it? Wrestling is just like any scripted play, it's got drama and comedy and it's just plain fun to watch if you understand it.

Also "wrestler"?? That's Batista...come on man!

Really? All movies, TV shows, and plays/theater have a sense of truth to them? I know quite a few people who would disagree with that statement. There's a LOT of extremely unbelievable crap in movies, theater, and on TV. "Reality" shows are on the top of my list of totally unbelievable, scripted bullshit that touts itself as "real". None-the-less, like WWE, those type of shows are still entertainment for those of us who watch them.

WWE doesn't claim to be anything other than entertainment. They know that I know, and you know, and everyone else that watches it, or doesn't for the most part knows it's fake. What gets me is people STILL to this day have to yell FAKE!!!!111 every time they see a wrestling clip. The simple question is, why state the obvious?
