BUT WHY ARE THE MATCHES FAKE

There is a difference between fake and scripted. The moves are real, they do hurt. You need to train for years to be able to be a wrestler. The only thing pre decided is the ending (who goes out on top). Between the start of the match and the end you see something that is completely improvised by the wrestlers involved (except major spots like putting someone through the announcing table). There is still a level of competition to the matches since the wrestlers have to try to get "over" with the crowd (make the fans cheer or boo them) and thus they must be better than the guy they are working with.

What you can enjoy from wrestling is not knowing what will happen and just sitting down to watch some of the most athletic people on the planet.

but if they are so good; why must it be scripted?

Because if it was legit fighting. We would not get the stories, the extravagant characters or larger than life personalities that we get from wrestling. We would get the UFC or boxing. Wrestling is not a sport in the traditional sense of the word, but sportsentertainment.

Just the same as it is now. Up until around the 80's they worked under the illusion of being real fighting, mainly to draw crowds since they didn't think the crowds would accept them if they came out and told them it was SCRIPTED (not fake, scripted). Fans proved them wrong though.

but they have pain?

Yes. Wrestling hurts. Some moves are made to look like they hurt more than they do and wrestlers sell every strike to make them look more painful, but every move hurts in some way. In no way is dropping someone on their head not painful. People have broken bones in the ring and even died.

Yes. You know it is a scripted event, but you enjoy it anyways for the entertainment value and to see how the story evolves and develops.

Sure.

Cash you get by posting in threads and discussions. It can be used to buy name changes and such when you have enough.

Rep is given by other users to you, either for being a person they like or for posting something they like. There is both positive and negative rep.
