The outcome and drama are not real, obviously.
But the wrestlers still get beaten around and get hurt. Yes there are ways to soften blows and stuff. However, wrestling has gotten a lot more dangerous. XD It's not like it's the mid-late 80s where the best move was an elbow from the top rope.
I respect wrestlers a hell of a lot. All except for the selfish guys like HHH who hold people down. It's sickening. Or the douchebags like the former wrestler X-Pac who are real lowlifes.
With all that said, I haven't been following wrestling actively for a couple of years now. I catch a show here and there, but that's about it. It's a blast once you're into it. There are boring parts here and there, but the PPVs are usually pretty sweet. I used to watch them for free at a sports bar. It was quite the atmospher. I've also gone to 3 events: 1 Raw and 2 Smackdowns (I also went to some when I was younger). The live events are good, but it's quite a different experience. I hope I can get a front row to one sometime in my lifetime.
By far my favorite wrestler: Kurt Angle. He's a great guy inside and outside of the ring. His book is a fantastic read. Overall he is one of the best at the wrestling/performing aspect and one of the best at mic work. He's arguably the best at both (Austin/Rock/Jericho are amazing at both as well).
