In a word, yes. "Sports-entertainment" is fake. The "in-ring action" is predetermined:

But, the problem I have with calling 'wrestling' "fake" is simple; I think DDP summed it up best in WCW when he asked "how do you fake GRAVITY?!", which is true. Bumps are NOT fake. Although they know they are gonna fall on their backs, the actual mat hitting their back part IS NOT fake.

Same with injuries. Injuries are very real; just ask Jeff Hardy or RVD

Wrestling is a series of pre-determined spots that consist of very real physicality used to tell a predetermined story.
