I mean i understand some matches may be fixed but when two popular players fight would any of them want to be the loser ? And the damage looks very real or is the only fixed thing the outcome ? Maybe someone from the industrty can answer . Or am i missing something if so put it into the comments and i’ll edit the post.

    Few wrestling matches will be pre-scripted stunt-by-stunt, but the actors will generally have agreed upon what they in-general want to pull off, and roughly in what order.

    The actual physical work is (usually) real, of course. Lifting a huge guy over your head or climbing onto a post and jumping down require a lot of physical training, in particular to not hurt yourself or the other person.

    (edit)
    I guess a better way to think about it is that the competition is fake. Always. It’s not a competitive match, it’s a cooperative effort to create a physical drama play.
