No it is not. Not anymore than a stuntman on a movie set. They also take lots of risks. Jackie Chan did his own stunts. His martial arts skills did not make his movie characters real. Real Wrestling is what you do in Highschool sports, in college and in the Olympics. It is called WWE, and E stands for entertainment. Real sports are not scripted, unless some player or greedy entity is paying someone off to throw a game, just like boxers have been accused of throwing matches. But in honest real sports, there is strategy, equal rules and no pre determined script our outcome at the end of the match/sport.
