Many professional wrestlers are certified members of the stuntman union in fact the reason the WWF lost the wrongful death suit brought by the hart family for owen harts death was because his certification for the stunt was done without full dress (no mask and no cape) and run live beyond certification scope (with an obsucated view and with flowing cape which could get caught). Owen died because the WWE did not give him the proper training to do the stunt.
Failing to make the distinction not only insults the wrestlers who do risk personal injury performing those stunts live but also insults ever stunt man who performs in staged action sequences in movies.

staged outcome = FAKE. PERIOD. If the NFL had staged outcomes I would say that is fake too. Doesn't mean the guys are faking the hits they put on each other. Still fake though. Stuntmen are all about making the fake look real. If a guy in a movie scene falls off a mountain the stunt man isn't actually falling off a moutain to his death. If a guy in a scene is getting shot 20 times the stunt man is not actually getting shot 20 times.
Once prefessional wrestling starts going by how they do it in college/olympics then it's not fake.
