Professional wrestling is fake — but the guys really are athletes. They know a thing or two because it helps them make the fake stuff look real.

The course of the match is pre-scripted, but the moves - and injuries - are real enough. No question a wrestler can put the hurt on anyone, wrestler or otherwise, on account of their strength and skill.

It’s not fake. It is kayfabe.
I wouldn’t have tried this stuff with Billy Robinson or Harley Race or any legit British shooter like The Adorable Adrian Street.

[Hyman Roth]

Wrestling fake? 🥲. I’m sad.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I wouldn't want to take my chances with Tyrus.

I think scripted is a better word.

A guy I worked with was a very good high school wrestler. He told me his uncle was a pro wrestler. My acquaintance was trash talking his uncle. The uncle told his nephew to put him in a hold. The nephew complied. Uncle asked him if he were ready, and promptly reversed the hold and pinned his nephew.
