But people do differentiate between sports like WWE wrestling, and professional football.
- dspillett 9y agoThey are different. No one argues that the participants in WWE are not physically impressive (it takes considerable strength and control to perform some of their moves) but it isn't sport in the same sense as football or "real" wrestling because it is largely choreographed rather than truly competitive. I tend to think of it as ultra-violent ballet. It is still a perfectly valid sport (caveat: depending, of course, on how you define sport itself which can be a subjective matter) but if categorising things is your bag then I think it belongs more with synchronised swimming than it does with professional football. (personal context: I've never been a WWE fan, though recreationally I do partake in catch wrestling from which WWE can claim some heritage)
