And "it's not real"....as Graham says, I have a nice list of injuries that say otherwise.
The majority of wrestlers (due to injuries I'm semi-retired but mainly referee these days) have a massive chip on our shoulders about not getting respect for what we do - we never claim it's a legit sport but we have to be very skillful and we suffer countless injuries and bumps which are all very real. And unless it's something life-threatening, the show must go on. Footballers can have injury time, the magic sponge, a bottle of lucozade etc. If we get injured in a match we carry on until the finish. Those are the unwritten rules.

I think you misunderstood me when i said it's not real, i was saying it in the sense like you said the match is predetermined.
There different types of wrestling, i was talking about wwe, i believe the other is the real wrestling, where anything can happen, i think you are talking about this one.
