The posting that goes into WWE is very time consuming. Thats why it looks real. They have some of the best editors in the industry working their. Their production suites are worth over a million bucks each. Their post house runs 24/7. They use toys in post that you cant begin to imagine. Top of the line equipment all through the place. And having over 50 Digital Beta decks in their tape room ensures that they can make multiple pass's with no degregation in quality.

Do you want to know how I know this? Stan (my future husband) worked at WWF/WWE in their post house for a few years. He has seen every trick they use. They are located in Stamford, CT. About 2 miles from home.

Sorry dude, its all fake and scripted. Why do you think the company that owns WWF is called WWE?. They 'E' is for entertainment.

Sorry to break you the news. Its fake. This info comes from someone who worked at WWF/WWE.
But the pain is very real. No amount of planning will diminish the hurt from a steel chair to the head or the landing on concrete from 15 feet up.

They may be some of the best stunt men around, but the shit still hurts.
