Films, plays, and TV shows are "fake" too, but they're not calling themselves a sport, nor do they try to make people think what they are watching is real, whereas some people still think wrestlers try to convince the audience that the matches are real and some fans like to call it a sport even though McMahon (among others) admitted ages ago it is all fake.
I think pro wrestling use to be real perhaps many moons ago in the days of Stu Hart and Lou Thesz until the suits realized they could make more money by staging it. Not to mention enough men were probably not desiring to become wrestlers since it would be a very dangerous sport if it was real, and illegal most likely in some places.
