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.

    Pro wrestling is staged, pro boxing is not.

    That said, while harm reduction is practiced in pro wrestling, people can and do get injured. Chris Benoit’s numerous concussions leading to him killing his family and himself, Bret Hart having his career ended by Goldberg, Darren Drozdov being crippled from the neck down, etc. etc.
