The asked shouldn't be which is better Pro Wrestling or Sports entertainment (though I will get into how you have to seperate the two later), it should be asked which gets better ratings Pro Wrestling or Sports entertainment? The answer is sports entertainment, but you can have equal parts (or close to it).
You see Pro wrestling is not a sport, it's scripted but I will call them athletes because I couldn't do what they do. Every match they know what's coming and what's going to happen, I was talking to Al Snows daughter a couple months ago and she said it's why she no longer watche's pro wrestling because she knows what's going to happen, but they have to make it seem fresh. If you were to watch it without any entertainment you would fall asleep, and that's why this question really can't be asked because you can't seperate the two completely. What you have to ask is which is better the action or the storyline and promo's?
The thing is though a long technical match is good as long as you have two people good at that, and a short brawl is good as long as you have people good at that, and that's what the WWE writers and a lot of Smarks don't realize. There is no set style for Pro Wrestling, there is though for real wrestling but we're not talking about that, Pro Wrestling is all about entertainment, and so pro wrestling really is sports entertainment and they can't be seperated.
