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.
