Pro Wrestling - Hi


Expert: Vinny Smith - 5/3/2008

Question
QUESTION: I know the WWE is fake but are the story lines supposed to make the fans
believe

that there kinda real or do they want the fans to think that they are just
acting.

Also in the rules of WWE are the Wrestlers allowed to punch and kick or is it

supposed to be like amatuer wrestling.

ANSWER: Hi ago
Once upon a time many moons ago pro wrestling was still fake but had no storylines just good against bad. Fans soon tired of this so characters developed and storylines arrived to help promote major matches. Check out Wrestlemania three's Steamboat vs Savage Intercontinental match, great build up and story (and amazing match)
As to punches and kicks , kicks are allowed as you can see drop kicks, enzuguri kicks and many others. However technically punches are against the rules but instead of an instant DQ they get a five count (or a warning from the ref)
Thank you very much for your question.

QUESTION: Thanks,
but I meant do WWE want the fans to believe and feel the storylines, or do they
want them to think that they are all m8tes in rela life.

Answer
Hi Jonnie
there are a few people who still believe that wrestling is real but he knows that a lot of people don't so the storyline are mainly to cater for believers and to entertain people.If you watched Ric Flairs leaving address you will have seen every wrestler come out together so you know that they are mostly friends.
thank you for your question.
