Wrestling is not a sport. The matches are choreographed, & the outcome is predetermined. Due to the fact that the outcome is already decided before any match, it cannot be a sport. To most people, a sport means there is a legitimate winner/loser &/or competition, & pro wrestling is not about that. It's good vs. evil with larger than life characters.
No one keeps score. No win/loss records are recorded. For the most part, the local news, the sports section in the newspapers, & ESPN, as well as other various sports networks do not show results. Infact, for many, wrestling is consider a joke in the real sports world. Wrestling has always bragged about not having an off-season, but that's because it's not a real sport. They're not having to go through the stress other athletes go through, & for the most part, neither wrestler really wants to beat or hurt the other, therefore you can't call it a sport.
Some of you guys are starting to remind me of this guy -
"IT'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!!!!!"
.....Look at me. It's Saturday night, & I'm on the freakin' internet arguing with computer nerds rather pro wrestling is real or not.....what a life I lead. I'm going to go do something more productive. I'm gonna go watch TV.
