When did wrestling become fake?

I'm not 100% sure, but I would have to presume around the early 1900s, if not the late 1800s. I do know one main reason for wrestling being "fake" is that to get a legitimate winner, you would often have to sit through LONG periods (some lasting days at a time) of pretty boring action, and that turned a lot of people off to it.
