text: his wrestling real? because my friend said wrestlers are just paid to act... please i need an answer.?   it is 100% . . . . phony!  these bogus circus clowns use aspirin to thin their blood, which is quickly released from their system when they are cut.  sometimes they'll use blood packets, but in any case most of the people that you see are quite often best friends back stage after the show is over.  once in a while, if tempers flare and a wrestler happens to make a mistake while performing their "act," the guys might (and this is very rare) get into a real exchange of blows. the sport itself has been phony for darn near a century, and its roots go back to traveling shows.  now, please give me 10 points..... de nada :-)
