yeah, but bike riding, break dancing & shooting a gun isnt scripted or choreographed.
--- End quote ---
break dancing can be choreographed, actually

what Im saying is, Pro Wrestling has a script....they arent actually fighting. They are pretending to fight...following a script. No different then if Im an actor, pretending to fight, in a fighting movie.
You wouldnt say acting is a sport if its on the big screen....so why would it be a sport otherwise?
Shallow:
It's called sports entertainment and could belong in other or both categories on this forum. It's not like fixed sports because in fixed sports like boxing the matches are all real competitions until someone decides to stage a fixed fight. In wrestling today they are all predetermined until someone gets pissed and starts actually fighting (which rarely ever happens).
The reason I would put it in the sports section is because it is rooted in sport. Wrestling was once real and could be again. Some would argue that it already is the case of UFC and MMA. The resurgence of MMA started because Japanese Wrestling promoters decided to their "fake" wrestlers actually fight. And with the gaining popularity of UFC there is no guaranteeing that the WWE might not one day go back to being real wrestling.
Vince McMahon himself promoted the Brawl For All in the 90s which was real sport and while he never fully promoted real fight sports, Jess McMahon once upon a time did.
I say just leave it where it is because it's closer to what Fedor and Vitali do than what Sean Penn does. It's more of a sport than Golf and Golf belongs here. Yes Golf is a real competition but so is freestyle rapping.
