YO ON SOME ANIME SHIT THIS DOPE AF!!!!

Some loser: Wrestling is fake
Me: Explain THIS
Loser: Holy shit

This is how cruiserweight wrestlers fight and it’s absolutely awesome.
Actually, Luchadors fight this way as well.
You can find plenty of this in old WCW matches.

It’s “fake” in the sense that every match is pre-planned and choreographed. They aren’t “fights” in the original sense of “throw two people in a ring and have them beat each other up until the loser faints”. Definitely not. The ending is already determined by the story the company has written for the characters the wrestlers are portraying.

Is the skill fake? No. Is the blood fake? No – though often wrestlers do have tricks to make it look extra bloody. Are they really hitting each other? …. usually. And these guys (and GIRLS) DO get injured during shows, and sometimes, tragically, they die during stunts. 

It’s “fake” in some sense, but it’s no more fake than a choreographed gymnastics show. You wouldn’t call a gymnast’s show “fake” because they had a planned routine!!

That’s really well put. Some of the hits are fake, or executed in such a way as to cause minimal real physical harm, but they’re still getting hit.
