Could a three hundred and fifty to four hundred pound<br />

sumo make it as a full-time guard, or nose tackle? Would love<br />

to see one of the makuuchi try it.<br />

Is wrestling fake?<br />

Anon User<br />

things that are predetermined or fake<br />

The match duration, main moves, finishing moves and outcome<br />

are predetermined. The major events of a match are<br />

planned and discussed beforehand, and so is the outcome.<br />

Some major events are definitely planned — for instance,<br />

someone might interfere in a match just as the bad guy, or<br />

'heel,' is about to lose. The duration of the match is also predetermined,<br />

and the time is kept by the referee. If you time<br />

the matches on, say, WWe, you might notice that there are<br />

broadly five, fifteen, and twenty five minute matches.<br />

The referee is not just a neutral bystander. The referee<br />

keeps track of time and tells wrestlers when to wrap up a<br />

match. He also helps communicate things between wrestlers,<br />

and assists in the overall story by "accidentally" getting<br />

bumped into during the course of a match, so that the bad<br />

guy or "heel" can cheat. Sometimes, when a wrestler wants<br />

things to get a bit bloody, the referee may slip a razor to him<br />

to cut himself (and collect it back later). At the same time,<br />

the referee needs to keep within the illusion of rulekeeping<br />

(disqualifications, count-outs, pinfalls). Lastly, the referee has<br />

the full discretion to stop a match if one of the wrestlers is<br />

seriously injured, and he has to balance this discretion with<br />

the show's need to follow the scripted narrative.<br />

Much (but not all) of a wrestling match is spontaneous.<br />

Wrestlers "call spots" to each other, ie, instruct each other
