How can it be a sport when both sides know the results? Kinda takes the "sport" out of it.

once again you need to look up the definition 'sport'
it goes further than the football field and basketball court

So because they're doing physical activities it makes it a legally sanctioned sport? Like I posted, if that is the case, what stunt people do should also be consider a sport.

The term "sports entertainment" is a fair & even term, which is why it's used. So let's just agree to disagree cause this can go to ten pages before dawn, & I think we just need to get back on topic.

are stuntmen governed by a set of rules or customs?

Do you mean actual rules, or the pretend rules WWE sometimes has in their regular matches? Or do you mean the rules for cage matches, which is all real btw. There's also the casket match rules too, the "Kiss my ass" matches, the Iron Man matches, the "your bitch becomes my sex slave for 30 days/nights" matches and a whole lot more.

Those are all real too btw.

LOL. Legally sanctioned.

Actually, it's used because Vince wanted to distance himself from pro wrestling. Same reason the wrestlers are called "Superstars" and the fans are the "WWE Universe."
