@Nacturl Well, in pro wrestling the 'real' aspect isn't about whose going to win or lose, the real aspect is who can put the most butts in seats (i.e., put on the best performance) b/c you usually get the highest pay. So there is a competition in wrestling, but not in the way marks think lol
when you say Pro Wrestling to the media they say WWE..but wwe is verry little when it comes to how many other Feds' there are out there you got fed's like :
TNA, NWA, AWA, CZW, IWA MS and many more and if wwe admits that wrestling is fake how do you know IWA MS is fake or CZW?...you don't cuse the media don't talk to them they talk to the bigger leagues like WWE.
Lou is protecting the buisness. The reality is that all those promotions you mentioned have scripted outcomes the same as everything else. Kayfabe no longer exists, but it was still sacred here. I doubt Lou, rest his soul, would say any of this now. This was culture shock back in the day and nobody savy to the buisness knew how to properly react to Vince letting wrestling "out of the closet"
but when it comes to the media if they hear Wrestling they will say WWE,
i'm not denying the fact that every promotion is scripted but, if i let's say made a wrestling fed a decided to make it real everyone would asume it's fake and why?
@cmd1995 actually booking goes way back to the turn of the century carny days and became the main stay by the 1930's. also I say book instead of script because a lot of wrestling is a a lot more improv than a fixed script.a lot of wrestlers prefer to to get into the ring only knowing how the match is going to end making it up as the go. wwe back stage skits and interviews are heavily scripted but some companies work with more of an improv approach here as well
what floyd says is correct in the previous part he talked about the nwa and awa not beign as popular as wwf cos they think their real honestly why didnt albano just come out and say we are like athletes in a theater who risk their lives every night to entertain the fans make alot of sacrifices
As for Albano, old school mentality made him look dumb. As for wrestler's dying...they made stupid choices and a Commission cannot be held for that. Look at HBK, Hogan, Warriah, they ain't dead, it's about choices.
I have AWA and NWA footage and they protrayed wrestling differently than McMahon. However, wrestling is unrealistic...I mean, a Piledriver would cripple a guy if it were "real."
Floyd is indeed a ass who he should shut up and go to hell. i think Floyd should kiss Vince Mcmahon because mcmahon would kick his ass sued him for everything he said. no matter what every body i love wrestling to death and love WWE no matter if it's real or not.
that senator richard floyd was such an asshole for insulting Capt. Lou. If Capt. Lou was sitting next to him while he said that, i'm pretty sure he would have beaten the shit out of him
give that anchor a medal.

These are always hard to watch. Wrestling isn't a movie. It's not boxing either. No one knows what the hell it is. But it's there

I mean, the difference between wrestling and professional wrestling is that wrestling is not scripted.

LMAO! If the guy's thrown out of the ring he's disqualified? WOW. Richard Floyd would have been the greatest booker ever. Talk about lost.
