Wrestlers themselves are actually good athletes. Even though the moves are scripted and rehearsed with both participants working together, it still takes strength and athleticism to catch a 250-275 pound man leaping from a top rope, turn him in mid-air and slam him to the mat with no one getting hurt. The fact that no one gets seriously hurt is a tribute to their skill. I watched some documentary about the WWF or some such a few years back where they showed all the tricks of the trade and they related how one fellow misjudged a kick just in practice and put the other guy in the hospital for three weeks.

It's a shame they've all been turned into cheesy comic book characters playing out a bad soap opera.

Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
