The better word I'd like to call it is 'scripted'. Because, while the punches, kicks and all that stuff are not done with actual intent to hurt the others, the bumps, jumps, all the other stuff they do is very real. Here are some examples:
@Smg Goth me loved the whole thing around the Undertaker (the original one) My ex made me watch Wrestlemania on PPV once. I fell asleep.
As a wrestling trainee, I can safely say scripted is the correct word. The ring itself is made of wood with a thin layer of padding equivalent to falling on half of the shit blue mats you have at school. So even the smallest of falls are painful. Hell even hitting the ropes hurts after a while, they look so soft right? Wrong. They are just cord wrapped in tape. They aren't lying when they say don't try it at home
