I have been a fan of the WWE and other Pro Wrestling for as long as I can remember. The WWE is a multi, MULTI Million Dollar business and categorize themselves as SPORTS Entertainment. Should it be acknowledged with other main sports? We all know there are storylines, rehearsals and pre-determined match results, but these wrestlers have to have a great deal of athleticism, endurance, be in tip top shape like basketball, football and other "real sports". Does Pro Wrestling belong on a sports blog with the other sports. Help Me Out.........................................SportsKrack

They are athletes but WWE is not a sport. If the fights are predetermined and there is a script to follow then it can't be a sport. A sport is determined on the field, court, or what have you, not on paper.
ReplyDeleteWrestling is shown on a channel called "Sky Sports" over here in the UK. Though the outcome is predetermined they do have to be in top physical condition like most other sports.
