FAKE!!!!!!!!!!

yes its fake but what other TV show isnt fake??

It is scripted yes it is timed and camera angels help alot. But it is real to the extent of injuries, chair shots to the head ask Chris Benoit, Bret Hart you would be surprised to find out how much of it really can hurt you.

Yep, the autopsy on Benoit revealed brain damage, undoubtably from chair shots and other hits to the hit.

Bret Hart received a nasty kick from Goldberg that resulted in a concussion and is blamed for the stroke he later suffered.

and Bret Harts broken rib from hitting the guard rail

Then of course Owen Hart comes to mind rip

[Strawb]

Owen death was an accident which was outside of the ring in a sense. I know he fell and his head hit the turn buckle which unfortunately killed him. Injuries are a way of life some wrestlers bodies are f**ked because of this ask Kurt Angle and Jeff Hardy. They put their bodies on the line because they enjoy entertaining fans and people. Steve Austin had his neck broken by Owen Hart in a match at Summerslam 1997. And people say it is fake. But the life of a pro wrestler is terrible. You might think they earn big dollars they don't hotel rooms, car rentals, air fares, food, etc etc is all paid for by the wrestler themselves even in the WWE. You might earn just say 100,000 and half of that is already spent in what i mentioned above.

Owen fell from the ceiling while being lowered from memory
Yes u are correct re the money I think Andre may have been the best paid getting a % from the number of fans at an event.

How about the airfares and stuff for an overseas tour like the one coming up in a couple weeks here. If they had to pay for all of that for an overseas tour like the one out here, it would cost at least $3 000 to $4 000 easily. For someone like Triple H that's fine, but not for someone just starting.

i have see a WWE 747 airliner around the places do they all travel on this or on seperate flights? is this WWE 747 just the stages and equipment?

when they fly to iraq and middle east they use Army planes and all pack into that, but they only have 1 stage to setup for that trip, here they have numerous shows over the week they are here.

I believe that plane is just used for equipment.

Like when Owen piledrove Austin. Just got him in the wrong position. Then there's when Sabu landed on this head wrong in ECW.

Benoit's head damage was from one of his signature move not from things like chair shots....

[Strawb]

the wwe wrestlers are NOT employed by the WWE they are like sub contractors. They have an agreement that states they appear for so many shows per week and get paid so much per pay view, and a percentage of royalties from t shirt sales, merchandise and toys.

[MightyEagles]

Some get their airfares, hotels and so on paid for.

could gather that sort of knew they worked on contracts. hence the reson the stars tend to have injuries for a few months of the year every 2 or so years or have a break every 2 years.

[Mic]

Most don't have a break (apart from Taker or HBK for example who really don't need the money anymore), getting injured means they earn less because they are not on PPVs or events.

Most also don't get their airfares or hotels paid for (unless they are attending shows outside USA/Canada).

Correct there mic. Unlike WCW which paid for nearly everything the WWE never has it is up to the wrestler to book their flights, car hire, hotel rooms.
