That's one of the reasons wrestling fans prefer the term scripted or staged as opposed to fake. It still requires tons of athleticism, and lots of wrestlers are still taking very real hits and injuries despite trying to minimize the impacts of them.

Pro wrestling has always been theater's weird cousin from the other side of the tracks. They're more alike than fans of either are willing to admit.
