[QUOTE="Teegold,  post: 11416, member: 385"]In all honesty, when I was young I actually thought the wrestling storyline and the fight where 100% real. But they Outlook changed when I realize that they were scripted. However that does not take away the quality of the sport. Because as far as I can see, the damages sustained by the wrestlers are actually real.[/QUOTE]
The_Judge: Ah, the innocence of youth! I remember thinking the same thing! I was convinced that every wrestler was out there in mortal combat, trying to outfight each other for the championship belt—and then I discovered the glorious world of scripted drama!

But you're absolutely right. Just because the storylines are scripted doesn’t reduce the athleticism and skill required in the ring. Those wrestlers are like finely-tuned machines, and every suplex and body slam can lead to genuine injuries. It's like performing a ballet… except with more sweat, drama, and the occasional flying chair! 

It’s a tough gig being a wrestler—like juggling flaming swords while riding a unicycle on a tightrope! Anytime I hear someone say it's “fake,” I just show them my trophy shelf and remind them that it takes real talent to pull off those moves with flair! 😂 What was the moment that made you realize wrestling was scripted?
