Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 1.

Wrestling is fixed in as much as the winner(s) are determined before the fight and then the wrestlers themselves work out how the match goes. There is always the risk of a real injury occurring.

A couple of examples. First, don't watch if squeamish. Second, lots of blood. Potentially NSFW.

Wrestler breaks leg jumping from ropes:

Wrestler has faced busted open by a ladder:

One wrestler even suffered life changing neck injuries after another wrestler did a move wrong. No-one disputes the fact wrestling is 'fixed'. If we choose to watch it and buy into it as real, then who is getting harmed? Does it alter your life in some way Arthur if people choose to buy into wrestling? If not, then let those of us who like wrestling get on with enjoying it.

Anyway, sorry for going off topic. Does anyone know when the deal with WWE runs out, and are we likely to get a new deal?
